Bitter but optimistic

Well I must say deever, I expected a somewhat more woke response from you than, "more bacon" ! More disappointing though is the unpatriotic nature of your attack on the humble beetroot ! Now my reasoning for this charge is difficult to explain on this forum as the immoderators and myself have frequently differed in view as to what constitutes appropriate content. However, I once read a learned article ,wherein the author argued that the beetroot should be awarded the honour of being named Australia's national vegetable. Let me just say that his arguments were all to be found in the name.

Winning two games in Adelaide in 5 days will be an enormous fillip to our season. The Crows will be trying to regain some pride and credibility in front of their home crowd, so expect early fireworks. But..... after a tight first half we will stone the Crows by 3 or 4 goals! Expect a breakout night from Kozzie.

I'd go for @Whispering_Jack 's choice because it includes beetroot . How [censored] weak is a burger without beetroot ?

For mine, Windsor’s stand out feature is his composure. Watching him, it’s hard to believe he’s just kid with 4 games under his belt!

That Carlton figure is a disgrace.

That was a super game! And an absolute super win - we are are fair dinkum top contender. Have no doubt about that! ANB - what a game !

BBB!!!!

[censored] bull [censored] !!!

Is he playing?

Those shots of the Port crowd is like watching one of those walking dead movies.

Kozzie needs to get his hands on it

Port are breaking our tackles.

You're not quite getting it guys!

The saints [censored] that up !

Geez Goldie is still a warrior.

[censored] me ! That was no mark !

Saints are missing gettable goals

Good start to the Aints!

There'll be S + M at The Manor post game !

We've won two against no one special . Today ( and next week )will give us a real clue as to where we stand this season. Are we any good? [censored] yes we are ! Dees by 27 ! This will include a blinder from Jack Viney and four goals from Kozzie. The Manorial staff all have rather fetching red and blue Bunny outfits for tonight's celebratory after party.

Viney is a genuine tough footballer. He is no sniper, nor is he a choose your moment hard man. He plays the same way all game, every game - see ball , get ball regardless of who is in the way. He provides team lifting , match winning moments by example. Every team needs a Jack Viney. Thankfully he is a red and blue blood.

Fair chance ! The front on vision will [censored] him. He braced and turned into Cunningham in my view.

We did what we had to when required, in the face of a scruffy opposition and hot and cold umpiring. Trac, however, was consistently a class above. A win is a win is a win and a strong finish is what good teams do. PS I think the Fox commentators may have given Hawthorn the 4 points !

My take is badly winded and will be sore tomorrow.

[censored] commentary on Fox!
