Bitter but optimistic

They are dirty [censored] SWYL but there is only one “ pure filth” as you well know

Big Joe still can’t kick

Selwood the [censored] should get reported for that tackle. [censored]

I'll go along with the "Mental" part of your post.

I thought most did their part today . However, Viney must come in if fit. Milshake will also probably get a gig. I thought Hunt was ordinary today. I know he has pace but it's not much use if he doesn't get a hold of the pill and breakaway or lay some rundown tackles. Can't recall Sparrow doing much either.

Lever . His best game for us I reckon May Just terrific positioning. Can give any forward a contest Oliver. His accumulation is critical to us. Tmac. Fittest he's been for about 3 years. Trac. A real bull in the first quarter especially. Jordan. A great debut. Looks accomplished

The old flag can fly grandly this week. Just the start we needed - team effort also

Have some mixed feelings. I’m really looking forward to the footy but, in order to get there, I’ve had to disclose to the maid that lockdown is over. Arrh well.. all good things! It’s always good to watch a kid debut and at the other end of the scale, I hope Jones has a decent game. My highlight will be Fritsch kicking 5 big ones!

Blue Jays? What were you doing at a bird show Mable?

Can we expect the hamstring sub next season ?

Maybe I’m too cynical but I have a deep foreboding about getting into the ground. I foresee a [censored] up of epic proportions

That’s the best compliment I’ve received in ages . Thanks Ernie

Perhaps it's because no one loves you picket!

Thanks Dub but you need to understand I’m a serious [censored] pot. Booze must be immediately available

Well i have a ticket organised by Moonshadow. That means I’ll have to sit next to the [censored]. My main concern, however, is bar access Does anyone know the deal for getting booze?

I reject your cynical criticism entirely Biffen One who has made his fortune from the misfortune of others should not comment on we honest souls who have laboured for the betterment of others. PS. As usual your facts are incorrect, I don't recall ever working 40 weeks in a year.

I missed the first quarter and was in and out (metaphorically speaking ) for the remainder of the game. Stand out for me was Bont. [censored] me , he killed us. As a result, I slipped a bit of hard earned on him at $11.00 for the Charlie.

Outstanding work again, @picket fenceyou have found your calling - footy journo! The fringe benefit being you can continue slurping the turps -m just look at slobbo

Bah !! It’s all frog****e until we play some football [censored] the experts!!

The commentary is [censored] me!

Excellent question. I'm a premium member so I hope i get a gig but ..... fair dinkum ... I reckon the rules on this could be flexible right until the last minute. My hope is though, that with vaccinations and consistent "donut days" all Demon supporters will have the opportunity to attend.

It might be asking a bit much of the lad to nominate him as a surprise packet but , given some of the very positive training reports, I’ll be watching Rosman’s development with keen interest. Even though I’m well qualified to comment on whipping boys , I shall decline to do so and thus save the mods the effort of deleting my post

Just because you didn’t know one end of a shotgun from the other is no excuse for being such a sourpuss Ernie

Fantastic work picket !!! An Eloquent and relevant report - are you off the booze ?

My (very ) limited knowledge of these matters tells me that the femur is about the biggest bone ( no John Holmes jokes please) on the skeleton. I have never heard of a stress fracture in this bone. Is this unusual /rare? Info please.
