Hmmmm... sitting here in my abode in Europe with a raging hangover from last night. I thought it might be amusing to drink large quantities of grape juice from my latest vineyard find. 
 

a small place in the Rhône valley to the north of Avignon called Domaine Rouge Bleu. They produce a Grenache called Lunatique. Seriously, how could I not consume vast amounts?

Hmmmmm,you'll have a raging hangover after this game tonight!!!

    How is it a lame duck game though? There's plenty to play for and we can still technically make it.

    I can only assume you're quite a young chap BenF.  I do admire your optimism. 

    A decent quality shiraz should do the trick.  There's still time.  Give it a decent breather about now.  Then a good old scoffing about half hour prior to the bounce.  This should help dull the forthcoming torment a little. 

    After that it's just a matter of topping up as you go.  This will ensure the numbness continues till well after the final siren.

    NOT reading this game day thread after the bounce will also assist here.

    Sounds like a good find CHF, lovely Syrah in that part of the world too.

    What are the chances we turn up for the fight tonight? Who knows really. GWS will look to pressure us for long enough...they will know our guys will toss it in if it gets really hard.

    If we bring the can't be f%$&#d's right from the start then it will get ugly.

    Are you taking orders CHF? 


    The mood/tone of this thread seems more gloomy than usual tonight.

    However, the optimistic Bitter would like to remind you ,that it is September and we are still in the game!

    How often has that happened in living memory?

    Hi DD. Fraserburgh, or as we say in our local dialect, The Broch. Like a lot of small coastal towns it's seen better days but the beach is a cracker with a big sand dune the locals call Tiger Hill.

    It's only ruined if you harbour expectations Wise.

    And if anyone here is going to harbour some expectations after the last two games, it will be me!

    Seriously though, I'm not expecting anything out of this contest.

    Did he do a hammy while warming up with the boys, GC?

    Likewise. It's been a depressing rainy day so this will be the cherry on the top no doubt.

    Can we take bets on when the first “ sack Goodwin post will come “.

    TBH looking at our side I just can’t see how we can win this. It is a very ordinary side, at least on paper.

    Lucky the rest of the day was so great. Sunshine, hanging out with family and friends, going out for coffee.... wait I’m in Melbourne, never mind.

    OK peeps. Let's get this over with. I trust we're all sufficiently fortified enough to endure the next couple of hours. If not then you've only yourself to blame.

    My money is on after our first turnover for the night.

    What is the real kicker is that the weather up there tonight is perfect.  Just rubbing salt in the wound.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
