When Rooster posts, you can almost smell the old cog burn.

Well, we managed to reverse our fortunes against Carlton this week (in spades), so I’m hoping we will continue that trend come gather round.

Off having an@l probes? Quick, get Scully and Mulder on the job (so to speak)!

It’s funny, our apartment block’s general handyguy is a Carlton supporter and when I spoke to him on Monday, he told me that at half time he told his friends who were all happy for him, that they were going to lose… it’s all a matter of perspective OD 🤣

Considering he had a 32 possie (I think it was) first up game at Casey, I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised if he came in for Jiath if he’s unavailable this week.

Tell him I’ve lost enough hair for the both of us… that is, I have absolutely none left at all 🤣

No win against Freo where we came back from over 50 points down? Can’t recall the year, but early 2000’s I think it was.

Fantastic feeling to win like that, but now I have the quandary of not knowing how to feel about our next game against the Suns… they are possibly the most in form team in the comp, and not just a little better, but way ahead of every team! Did we show form that can see us matching them, or are we, like in the Fremantle game, going to capitulate without so much as a whimper? I’d love to think that we will be able to match it with the Suns, but unfortunately my MFCSS is making a resurgence. In the meantime I’ll just bask in the afterglow of this victory!

PFffffft!!

That’s one hell of a list! Is that in order of favourites from 1 to 500? I don’t think I could manage that (in fact, I know I couldn’t), so well done you! I haven’t read it closely, but my main disagreement would be your rating of Fleetwood Mac who to my mind ceased to exist after Peter Green left… while the two songs you cited were big money spinners (chart toppers), I’d rank Albatross, Oh Well Parts 1&2, The Green Manalishi and Black Magic Woman from Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, well ahead of them as songs.

Fixed it for you.

Yeah, I just noticed that. I’d reached my quota of quotes and blown a foofa valve.

Can I quote you on that?

<sarcasm>Ok, I’m going to hit you with my greatest insult: I bet you’ve just had your 10th shot, libtard!</sarcasm>

What disturbs me is that it’s the press who get hold of this news (by whatever means), and they use it as click bait on social media such as Facebook, because they know that it’s going to result in massive numbers of hits and it will bring out all of the homophobes in droves! All it does is add to the reasons that anyone, let alone an ex footballer (of any code), will remain silent about their sexuality… and I’m not talking about just in the sense of telling the world…it’s very possible they will be afraid to even tell those close to them. There is far too much encouragement of hate in social media! I’d love to see gay players, rather than announcing themselves via press releases or whatever means was used in this case, just rock up to club events (even the Brownlow) with their partner, without making any announcement.

Hey PF, not footy related, but…how are you quoting people in your posts? You’ve gone from having the quote appearing twice in your posts, to the quote appearing three times in the post I’m now quoting?

I’m with you… like for like!!

Friday is my birthday gig, with many of my usual invited guests hopefully sitting in (Richard Bergman, Bob Spencer, Mick Daley, Terry Serio and George Washingmachine among others), so it should be a bit of a blast. I thought I’d also post a reminder that I have set up a link to PayPal if anyone feels that they’d like to donate to Cancer research as well as to my birthday bliss (a 50% split); I’m treating my portion as recompense for my cat herding duties, whilst organising these gigs over the years! I believe some very generous soul from these forums has made a donation, but my guess as to who it might have been, was way off the mark… regardless, thank you so much, whoever it was!! Much love to you! For anyone else that may also feel so inclined, just follow this link: www.paypal.me/LosTromeosJug

Time to turn on those ‘Sarcasm Detectors’.

He reminds me more than a little of Maynard; although I have to say I enjoyed the flash back to the old World Championship Wresting, when he lifted Langdon above his head…all we needed was Jack Little on commentary. Both players had a good laugh about it… the security guard however, looked a bit unsure of how it would end.

You really ARE the ‘king of knee [censored] reaction’… can you honestly, hand on heart, tell us that Oliver was performing up to standard over his last couple of seasons with the Dees? He was not invested at all, and yes, he has done well at the Giants (as has Trac at the Suns), but that’s not really a surprise, as it’s far from unusual for players to be reenergised when they move to a new environment. Windsor, Langford and Lindsay will improve, but to expect them to contain midfields of the like that Freo, Sydney, and even Carlton have, is a little unfair. We are lacking in midfield depth, yes, but I’m happy to see these guys given games and a chance to develop against the best. As for next week, I have no idea what changes are likely to be made, but it will be interesting to see whether Jiath and Latrelle Picket survive the cut… Jiath may make way for AMW, and Latrelle for ? (probably too early for Mathews to get a run).

So…you’re saying that he’s coming to the Dees then?

The Gatorade Giants, you mean?

Fixed it for you 😉
