Bitter but optimistic

Bombers are so ****ty that dogs are going at half rat power.

Kossie Broke their hearts.

VFL standard.

This is the one team I really love to beat.

Go Dees, smash the Blues.

Yep! Just can't help but hate that scum of a club.

It could have been much worse !!!

Maybe he meant wine casket, which is where you fill a bathtub with wine and lie down in it. That is true class.

Goffy, you are clearly a gentleman of refined taste.

The sight of you with a wine cask in one hand and a whip in the other, is the source of much merriment for me.

Have you suffered any water shortage in the moat over the last few months?

Bah! Wine casks maybe the ambrosia of the hoi polloi but merely dregs to aristocrats such as my good self. Do not mention such things again.

Win or lose - the whips will be cracking at The Manor tonight Red!

I have a (very) rare kid-free evening on Saturday (#singledadlife), and heading to the game. Any other Demonlander’s heading over? I’ll probably grab a water or two at The Camfield beforehand.

Stuie might be going over Ethan.

As if this PATHETIC excuse of state government could get any worse, stand by if you are on the Pakenham or Cranbourne lines YOU CANNOT get of at RICHMOND due to metro tunnel realingning. You need to get of at Caulfield to get on Frankston line which stops at Richmond. Otherwise get to Town Hall station. CAAAAAARYYYST THIS GOVT IS TOTALLY SHOT!

A bit of a jog should be no problem to a svelte and finely tuned athlete like yourself picket !

Your good old Uncle Bitter will be trotting off to the G today to enjoy some beer, some sunshine and a rebirth of the club. I shall be meeting twice excommunicated Demonlander - Moonshadow and shall indulge in some intellectual discussion with Demonland's " voice of reason" - @picket fence !

I have invested some of The Manor's cash reserves on a Dees win but .... with a degree of trepidation.

It's all new today so there will be many points of interest. Latrelle will certainly be one of them and I'm sure will prove to be as exciting a prospect as his cousin was. Hopefully the new 'old' faces in Steele, Mihocek and CJ will also settle quickly.

Our preseason opposition was ordinary so it's difficult to gauge where we are ,but there was some refreshing footy played and hope to see some of that pace and risk taking.

St Kilda is seared in my brain as a part of my worst footy memory and taking some of huff and puff out of the over hyped Saints would go a little way to erasing it.

Dees by 17.

This has happened before!

Someone out there with a better memory or research skills please sooth my itch.

Poor old Ballarat is stretched to the limit today. Infrastructure is bursting at the seams. They’ve got our match AND the annual Begonia Festival happening at the same time. 😅

How about a Fuchsia festival !

As a result of my discerning observation of that game, I am confident in predicting that we will finish above Norf in 2026!

How much wine can one person drink?

Endless amounts Frog, provided the quality is to my high standard. None of that cask rubbish that the peasants bathe in.

A request.

Would you please inform me when and where you are next going hopping with your toad cousins so that I can come and run you over.

Welcome back.

This thread has become nauseatingly nice.

Time for some Uncle Bitterness.

Next month the Mighty Black Swans will take on the V in Perth. As a young fella I loved watching the glorious Sandgropers beating the Eastern States teams. I don't have the same feeling when it comes to AFL club football of course. I sure my father was going to disown me when I started to supporting Melbourne. He was not a great supporter of the East. I on the other hand is much more open minded. I do miss the old fella, particularly whenever Melbourne beats the Dockers, my phone calls to him singing "It's a Grand Old Flag" is something I will never forget. Although he did soon stop taking my calls whenever the Dockers lost to Melbourne.

You sound far too chipper Frogger!

I am going for a long drive northward in the next few weeks and I intend running over as many of your cousins as I possibly can.

"Good news" is totally out of place on Demonland.
