    After a hiatus caused by my Manorial duties your good old Uncle Bitter will be back at the G today to watch us play the Dorks.

    I'm [censored] that Viney is out as I love watching him play. He gets some stick on this forum - and that baffles me. I know he's not pretty but jeez I'd have his name inked onto the team sheet before the selection meeting starts.

    JVR comes in and needs to show what he can do. I saw him leading and taking one grabbers in the pre season and tipped him for a breakout year. Confidence is an elusive entity.

    Jeffo showed some promise before injury but he is still a question mark. However, as that esteemed judge of all things football @picket fence rates him highly, I expect him to do a bit.

    Clarrie is back - please show us you are still the champ we know.

    Some commentators on this forum expect Fritta to play a defensive forward role. It's not him. He's an opportunist and a goal kicker - give him licence to do that. If we are going to win today, we need score involvements from Fritsch.

    Turner will have to play back. That's not a bad thing as his athleticism will be handy against The Dork's small forwards.

    Max is coming up against a decent ruck today so a big one from him could decide the issue.

    This is a huge game for us and due to our ****ty start it will be genuinely season defining.

    We need a few things to click today but ...... Dees by 21 !

    I’m quietly confident, which is a hell of a lot better than I would have been a month ago! We’ve been slowly building over the last there rounds, and if we can maintain the pressure for four quarters this arvo, I reckon we are ‘over the line’. The big question is can we do it without Vines? Of course we can! Dees by 15. ❤️💙

    Good to have you back Uncle.

    It's nice to have a decent wordsmith here at work with someone footy nous and positivity.

    My uncles have all gone to footy heaven except for Uncle Mex of course who was a rabid pies supporter.

    So I was wondering if you could adopt me as a footy nephew. I won't expect any birthday cards.

    It can be totally honorific in title but it would warm the cockles of my soul. Perhaps the sub cockle regions. It's seems all my Melbourne relatives are croaking. Most of them saw the 21 Gf at least except my dear departed dad who would have been happy as Larry. Well maybe happier because that was in fact his name. You don't meet too many Larry's these days. While it was only a couple of weeks ago, I was saying to my good wife Beatrice... coincidentally another unusually name that I've only met two Larry's ever. One being my dad and another at a servo in Bendigo one cold winters day. I said to him...

    Whoops ....I started to lose my train of thought there.....phew...

    Go Dees.

    My kids will be kicked out of the house if they decide to follow the hawks or any other team for that matter.

    That won’t happen though. I’ve indoctrinated them well

    Go DWhich way do you button your pants Leavie


    Let's go boys! Viney is indeed a big out, but hopefully we can cover him. Claz to step up and Sparrow to run with Day. Think we can do it, but if Hawks get a run on they'l be hard to stop.

    Day's not playing, poor kid has a broken foot which may end his career.

    Oh my bad, shows how much Hawksball I watch!


    It’s game day baby. Pumped!

    Let’s rip the wings off the Hawks before they strike.

    Go Dees!

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
