Bitter but optimistic

Delightful to have you posting again Ethan BTW. Your decolletage is quite remarkable.

Would you believe Dub, that I've actually poured Shiraz down the sink. And then ....... when in a state of penury ...... wished I hadn't!!!

Shiraz is working fine for me!

All that and you didn't give me a like !!!!!!

ahh yes ....of course they do. Is that why you like just about every post - even those that appear in opposition ? You must have been disappointed that the name Pollyanna was taken

Re ticketing. As soon as Kent raised the alarm on this thread I contacted my tech smart mate who had my barcode from earlier in the year. Apparently he's had no problem getting me a ticket one bay from where I usually sit. I have no idea idea what accounts for the inconsistencies that are occurring - clearly a [censored] up somewhere in the system.

I see you're a new "member". Can I call you stiffy?

Haven’t received an email and nothing on the website I was hoping to use my own seat for this game

“Go early go hard” !

Perhaps you could sell the trillion dollar estate in Borewood dc and move in. Plenty of bluerinsers in Bentleigh I'd reckon.

Logically you are correct dc. However, if they are going to give BBB a run then I cannot see an alternative to Sparrow. I guess the only consolation is that he is an up and comer and will get plenty of opportunities in the future. It is an interesting selection conundrum. If we think that a big forward is a September requirement, then BBB has to be given a chance to settle in and find some form. Thursday night will tell us a lot I reckon!

I'm a man of simple tastes chook.

Close picket. I prefer the Mignon a tad over medium. Little Giant was fine but I went to the cellar for a preferred choice tonight. The Maid is being coquettish and wearing Essendon colours.

How do you decide on the nomenclature Nev? How do you differentiate between a "chief" and a "champ"?

Your constant overuse of the facepalm emoji is tiresome. However, I apologize in advance if you have literacy problems and need to sign.

Fair question. You made a reasonable comment - didn't deserve that disrespect .

Carried out her responsibilities with admirable diligence but a disappointing lack of fervour.

Geez bingers, that's a bit heavy for a Sunday morning following a boozy Saturday night victory!!!!!

The absolute highlight for me was the double 50 metre penalty! Not because of the penalty itself, nor the fact that it gifted us an important goal. No! It was because I was picturing the absolute apoplectic rage of the Essendon supporters and wishing I was there to see it live. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or wet myself while dribbling Shiraz out of my nose. And to think people say you shouldn't bask in the misfortune of others!

I want to burn AFL house down and pour radioactive waste over the top. I’m going to you help organise this. They're a classy lot! ( this line only is mine)

May - An outstanding game. ( Brownlow votes you'd reckon) Brayshaw Lever Langdon Oliver Petracca

Job done !! Backs - terrific! Forwards - Needs tweaking !! Highlight - The double 50 - I nearly wet myself laughing !!!!!

I've had a few.............but ............... I just have a feeling in my nethers that we're going to jump them early!

I'm on a far more modest Shiraz (for now at least) picket!!

Port lucky to get away with that. It was a tough game - might have tenderized them a bit.
