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.

    Regards

    Ye Olde Crusty Rusty

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
