Bitter but optimistic

We know very well what you prefer Uncle.

Well thank you Red.

It is very pleasing to learn that my avid readership is learning from and, hopefully emulating, my example of good taste.

Demonland finally sees the day when someone shares a fetish creepier than even Uncle Bitter's contributions.

I would prefer that you  describe my fetishes as artful Goffy .

I'm certain OOZE will be pushing every coaching button known to win this one. But it it just aint going to happen!  

I predict we will be up and about tonight and get away to a flyer and go to a comfortable win.

I would really like to see a blinder from Clarrie to show the footy world he's back to being the superstar we Dees fans know. I also reckon Kozzie will enjoy the big stage and produce some magic.

Dees by 30 points.

I read that the Kolt didn't train. Is he injured? Or dropped?

Doesn't do the kid's confidence much good if he's dropped after 1 game

He's listed as omitted Moonie .... but I agree, I thought he was worth another run

It now seems that while you can't have "low" impact you can have "negligible" impact.

Is that so?

[censored], just when I didn't think the tribunal could outdo  Charlie's exoneration !

It's a [censored] lottery. 

GWS are quite clever in challenging. 

Given recent miraculous outcomes, you might as well challenge anything/everything.

Some personal news. 

I wasn’t watching the game last night but was following along with the scores through the AFL app. I was barracking for the Crows to win all night until I checked my Footy Tipping app and realised that I was the only one in my mates competition that tipped the Bombers and a win would put me outright leader. 

I felt so dirty cheering the Bombers on in the last few minutes, even crediting the umpires for the play on call the gifted the Bombers the win, that I needed to take a shower before going to sleep lest I sully my bed linen. 

No shame in the occasional sullying of the bed linen Demonland.

I needed to bathe in someone else's misfortune so I had a look at Saint's Bigfooty.

Had to share this gem.

If Bumbers win they are on same win loss as us.

If the "Bumbers"  win, my multi ( which the dogs got off to a good start ) will be [censored]!

Just realised I am a year behind @Demonland 

Put 2023, instead of 2024 in the title.

Based on my very extensive experience kev, confusing dates is a sure sign of being a [censored] pot!

Have fun watching it on the radio! Haha!

You're a bit slow on the uptake tonight Moonie !  ( Too much of the cheap swill that you think is decent vino I suppose )

Don't you remember the ABC slogan. " Watch it on the radio" ?

I'm just gonna try and scan in my 16 game membership and walk around until I can find a seat.

Might even sneak into lev 2 where I sit for home games, unfortunately this time surrounded by rabid tiger fans.

Perhaps I'll get BBO to find a seat for me, his outfit usually clears the nearby area within 20 mins

Anzac is eve is great when it's a home game ... but not so much when it's away.

I'll be watching it on the radio.

I'd send you my ticket Moonie but .... as you have no friends to take with you ... it would be wasted.

I'll bet my lefty that the MFC won't get any advantage out of whatever changes are forthcoming.

The match review/tribunal system of "adjudication" has moved beyond ludicrous into some sort of ultimate fantasy realm.

It's pointless being outraged or shocked anymore. Just look forward to to the next piece of wonderfully creative whimsy.

Punching Dipwood in the head would have to unreportable  ... surely !

50 my [censored] [censored] !

Getting close to the first bounce.

I'm guessing @Sir Why You Little is slurping on a nerve settling double in some sleazy Thai sports bar!

Will there ever be a game I'm not nervous about?

Not while you're a Dees supporter deever!

Similar with Caleb. Demonlanders need to temper expectations rather than hyping up these boys and then ripping them down when they don't dominate or when they have normal developmental patches.

Don't generalise bin's p a ( or worse still patronise ).

I am among those ' landers who have pumped up Windsor. I've also touched on the comparison with the great man.

However, myself, and I'm sure most 'landers are also realists - we know there will be setbacks and flat moments during the development of a career.

Let's just enjoy ( or dream about ) the highs for the moment.

At 1-5 Lions season is just about done 

something in me waters…

I can see them winning 

🤢🤮

They'll certainly come hard Dub ... but I reckon we've got them covered.

Tonight's game is just about one of those famous "eight pointers" !  Going into the bye with 5 in a row and just one loss would be a huge start to the season.

Brisvegas , on the other hand, is facing a disastrous start so they'll be  flat out to recover their season.

Our backs have been pretty slick. Big Joe will find May rather more difficult than some kid from Norf and I can't see Dipwood getting on top of a rejuvenated TMac. As always Charlie ( super player)  will be the danger and a real challenge/experience for McVee.

Max Trac and Viney will win the crucial Mids battle ( Neale's 250th notwithstanding) but what would really seal the deal is a big one from Oliver - it's due.

Kozzie leaves a hole for sure but it has provided an opportunity for the "Kolt" - good luck kid.

Hopefully BBB draws a crowd and allows the others a little more space. Fritta kicks 4 and we win. A couple from Trac sneaking forward would also help cover Kozzie's usual contribution.

Really looking forward to watching Windsor again - this kid is pure class and quickly becoming a favourite. ( I'm also starting to understand  the comparisons with our famous number 2)

That's a bit long winded for me but your poor old Uncle Bitter has been a bit under the weather of late and couldn't sleep! A life time of hedonism may finally be catching up.

Prediction. Dees to win by 9 or a full blow out and a 39 point victory.

Happy days - go Dees!

If you wanted proof of what a decent human being  Trac is, watch how he shepherded that little kid Eddie through 360 tonight.

Wonderful stuff.
