Neil Crompton

I’m worried for the snake.

ffs

I thought he was referring to George Gawn

I don’t read your posts - er, except this one.

Do you mean Roy George and not Mentha?

A chink is a narrow opening; or a horrible ethnic slur - I hope that’s not what you meant.

thank you.

Could Kossy just be playing with the media?

That’s the company line - I hear it’s really a serious mental health issue, unfortunately. Get well soonest @Ghostwriter

Wasn’t Oscar “Porterhouse” and TMac TBone?

I thought he should of been nicknamed “Crowded”

I luv Clarry, but he had a shocking year last year by his standards, there can be no denying that. With his hand injury and his lack of pre-season, he was often a liability, rather than what we are all used to. So much so, that I couldn't understand why he wasn't rested to heal his hand. Long bow, but maybe if we had rested him, he may not have suffered the knee issue or the broken ribs and therefore been able to come back once the hand was right and see out the season playing more to his usual standard. Who knows, with Clarry firing again, we have even made the finals. Some have said that we didn't rest him because we didn't have a suitable replacement (as if anyone could adequately replace Clarry!). However, players like Laurie would have welcomed the chance to prove himself by playing a string of games in his absence. The only other reason i can imagine for not resting him was that management were perhaps concerned Clarry might lapse back into bad habits if not fully involved in the team. We may never know, but so glad he appears to be fit and firing this pre-season.

haha Pot / Kettle / Black

I wouldn’t have thought that there would be too many posters on here who didn’t know who “chin” or “disco” were. We’ve all made the effort, though constant reading of posts, to learn the nicknames of the players. Our track reporters don’t need criticism for using this shorthand while posting. @WCW even posted a list of all the nicknames last year I think. Perhaps her better half, @Ghostwriter, could repost that list. A new poster I can understand not knowing, but for someone who has read training reports for two years, these nicknames should be second nature I would have thought.

I luv Kossy, but the season hasn't even started and already i'm sick of this thread. I know it won't stop, so i'm opting out for my own sanity.

Might not do his confidence a lot of good.

Most of us would beg to differ….

Hopefully you left a word out of that “bolded” sentence Durango!

It is my new year wish that everybody on this site - except @picket fence - would wake up and realise that @WCW and @Ghostwriter are in fact 2 different ladies. One is seriously deranged and it’s very obvious that the other is not so much.

I hope every one on DL has a safe and happy Christmas and demon-successful 2025. Many thanks for this past years entertainment on DL. And a special thanks to Andy and co for housing this site and making our communication possible.Keep up the great work in ‘25 please.

I’m sure the Master Planners know what they are doing, so I’m not really sure why you are worrying about this. I’m more concerned about winning the toss on Boxing Day. Have a merry Christmas Harv.

Well DP, maybe we could hang onto the lease we have on Goschs and in turn sub lease it to the Pies for a kings ransom until we at least get the money back that has been spent on Gischs. 😀

A sweet ride?

great to see Gus there.

Are you OK Roost? You seem a bit grumpy this morning. Unlike you to have posted a couple of negative posts in a row so a little concerned. Big xmas party last night?
