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.

They produce some decent [censored] in that area. Some of the froggie's best but .... in reality world .... Aussie [censored] is better than most.

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?

beautiful part of the world Rab. A friend of mine grew up in Nairn. Mustn’t be too far from where you grew up?

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. 

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm well and truly primed to have my Saturday night ruined.

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.

Reminding me a little here of the gap between our best and our worst.

You have covered it well without trying fellas.  Bottoms up!

Lever warning up taking a lot of set shots an nailing most of them. 

Conditions perfect right now no dew or wind.

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. 

6 blokes in tonight’s team that shouldn’t be on an AFL list ??

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.

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