Bitter but optimistic

Well it was a”donation “ Rusty and coin has been a bit tight at The Manor of late

I've just been enjoying the Romsey sun while slurping down 4 stubbies of Jameson and cola that one of my acolytes left behind. It's rubbish but alcoholic - the sort of stuff that @picket fencewould rate as a very fine brew. Time to open a shiraz and start my pre game routine. I note that a few above are less than confident. Bah to that! I've loaded up on Sportsbet - my nethers tell me we're a good thing today!

Myself and Moonshadow took a roadtrip to Cantberra a few years ago to watch the Dees take on GWS. It was a day where brass monkeys were looking for welders and a howling cold wind rendered one half of the oval totally dead. We had no idea of handling the conditions and were outplayed and ultimately flogged. My only entertainment was watching Moonie get [censored] that night. Anyway that's history! We are two zip and actually looking a capable football team. No doubt GWS will come at us hard so it will be a good test, however, if we are serious finals contenders then we simply must win it. Dees by 4 goals!

I’m turning this [censored] off. I cannot stand seeing happy Essendon supporters

Looks like Stringer is having one of those days! Cant see the aints getting back from here

FMD. I know I’m half [censored] but I just posted and it came up in pink and “hidden” Could someone explain this ?

Geez Stuie Dew could almost go guts for guts with me

I would have really enjoyed that game if those whiners Scot and Harvey were still in the Norf box!

Thought exactly that a few minutes ago od !

No argument. Norf are bog ordinary at the moment Could turn very ugly in the second half

So what’s changed Ethan?

Introduce the orthodontically challenged into the mix and you have “ The filth “

A large proportion of illiterates among their supporters may be the explanation.

That's the intellectual corner in the Saint's members area.

It's a tricky one. We had stars and lesser lights but the lesser lights all contributed at times so you'd be stiff to get dropped out of a winning side. I'd be surprised if there is any change unless there is injury.

I think a permanent change would be fitting Ethan!

Two zip! How good is that! Sing the song folks Kossi Kossi Kossi !!!! Oi Oi Oi !!!!!!!

Commentators are [censored] giving me the [censored]

Small forwards !!! Wow !!

We need a forward to stand up in the second half

As [censored] usual FMD’n

Oh yea of little faith Kent !

Don’t be silly ! A decent Shiraz is far more valuable

No worries at all We’ll rip the Aints a new one and that kid King will wish he’d stuck to basketball when May gets through with him. And yes......... I’ve got money on us. ( Well a good bottle of Shiraz actually!)

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