  1. You should shoot him and plead, But no man died.
  2. Funny not hah hah that Geelong failing to make finals after a premiership, North jumping the E Coli Wobblers is glossed over - as was E Coli Wobbler non-drug issue - but the Demons are the One Hit wonders, the drug riddle cultural problem child, stinking and deviously led, hooligan Sorrento based coach etc I can't be bothered listening to or reading any of this bullcrepes any more - over it and far away.
  3. Lucky I'm PiBolar. One Pole in the house is enough for all of us
  4. What about tripe? That's my main dislike. And, when I type is comes out as trype...
  5. And what about the slithering snakes?
  6. I was trying to be STUPID: no harm meant...When you get to my age - 173 - being stupid is one of the few consolations...
  7. Far from it: could I ask you to elaborate, maybe give me a definition of what would be ideal? 🥰😍
  8. Any chance of naming them? I recognize Grinter, Neitz, Greene, Yze, Nicholson, Holland, and Travis J, but I can't see Schwarz, and, Mister Grinter - god bless him - was before Neale's time...
  9. Pity about the 'Almost' posthumous assault on Brayshaw. Too late, she cried...What Maynard did was never 'legal' anyhow, despite what his lawyers say. They must have sought counsel for the dude who got Pell off...
  10. Great summary but I feel the Injury tally has been undervalued. I know I have been on about this before, but considering the injuries to Gawn and Oliver during the season, the simple fact is that the Demons did remarkably well considering the loss of Brown, McDonald, Petty, Fritsch and Melksham - all key forwards at various stages and seasons for us. The fact that the two finals which we lost by a total of - was it 9 points - is a minor miracle considering the critical absence of key forwards in the finals. Yes, McDonald and Fritsch played but neither were at their best due to the nature of their injuries, and if you add the loss of Brayshaw in the opening minutes, and the irony that Van Rooyen cops a week and Maynard is declared 'innocent', add that to the fact that, yes, they kicked poorly for goal, points to the simple fact that had the Injury Gods been kinder they surely would have achieved more. That they lost, in my estimation, was almost inevitable considering the need to turn injury-bred dysfunction on an almost weekly basis. That they nearly won both finals, had they kicked straight, was almost miraculous. The horizon is bright, as I see it. Billings and McAdam are potentially great gains, as are the youngsters we chose in the Draft. Add the discernable improvement of Laurie and Woewodin, the regained strength and fitness of Tomlinson, the hints Shache has given that he has maybe turned the corner, the pressure for selection from Howes and Turner, the hoped for return of a fit Petty and Oliver, and it's off to the 2024 Finals we go. May the Injury Gods be kind.
  11. And, che, per favore, bitte, what are those two words? I know Wine and ...can't think of what else...
  12. I've bushwalked The Governor's Balls. You start it at Sheepyard Flat.
  13. 'agility ladders and Poles'? Tell him to give up on conquering Poles - I'm married to one...
  14. Agree 100%: however, he has kicked a lot of goals, something we need someone to do every week. Everything is, however dependent on the wobblers called his knees.
  15. Oh No! Not Diamond Jim again...
  16. Metinks I might have inferred that, because, like I wrote, there were some bloody good players in that group. But, yes, you're so right about the depth of the mess we were in.
  17. Not sure about 'the worst list'. There were some rather talented players there: Viney, Gawn, Dunn, Howe, Frawley, Watts, I'm sure I spied a very young Hogan, Davey, Jetta, Trengove, Pedersen, Clark, Sylvia, The Russian, Spencer, Dawes, Barry, Kent, Jones, Terlich,Joel and Tom McDonald, Garland, Davey, Rodan. T'would seem to me the problems might have had more to do with the Coach...
  18. I've grown accustomed to the bulbous state: eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow, we diet.
  19. It means your computer is averse to Herald/Sun lies bulldust and propaganda. You have a good computer.
  20. He obviously likes the Dees, however, he fails to acknowledge that Petty and Melksham won't be available for a while, and he hasn't acknowledged that a fully fit Brown and McDonald will make a difference. Also, not many people - so called 'critical experts' - have taken into account the horrific plague of injuries to key Melbourne Forwards was absolutely crucial during the Finals which they lost by a margin of 9 points..., not to mention the assault on Brayshaw and the suspension of Van R...
