Bitter but optimistic

The game is not far from starting. I 've downed a couple of stubbies and just opened a Shiraz. I feel strangely listless, lethargic - almost uncaring. I'll watch of course but I'm not confident. A sense of doom and inevitability pervades The Manor. As soon as a Doggies win becomes obvious I'll quietly get [censored] and reflect on opportunities lost. FMD Even the maid holds no appeal

Great line SWYL ! Made me cough and splutter on my first Shiraz for the day!

Looking at that list , and with 20/20 hindsight, you'd reckon Langdon might have finished higher.

Thanks for clearing that up Ethan.

I know Freo are big in Westralia but I always considered them a nonentity club ! Now we find ourselves hanging on their coat tails. Anyway they are in @Ethan Tremblayterritory so I'll wait on his deeply considered insights and prognostications.

How crass and insensitive of you to bring that up Biffin! It was all just a misunderstanding ....................... more or less.

His voice box?

As usual @picket fence you've managed to smash up the china shop. Love your work !!

Was that the same game I watched on TV Ox?

Trac Max Salem Fritsch Clarrie Brown Also thought the much maligned ANB did some good work today

Ha aha ! Great minds chook !!

All I can say is -" Freeeo give em the old heave ho ... Freeeo "!

Jeez some terrific contributors that quarter. Should be further ahead

[censored] turnover!!!!’n

I hope you put an appropriate additive in it Rab.

Interesting times ahead od ? Or a whitewash?

Or not !!

Maybe she's just having some Saturday morning "delight" !!

I agree with Ethan - the bombers have been "useless" of late. However, long term and long suffering MFC supporters will recognise the inherent dangers ( and frequently subsequent sadness) when our club goes into such games. Having said that, I reckon we'll beat the Bumbers. In fact, we simply must win for reasons of self respect and salvaging something out of a season riddled with lost opportunity. Unfortunately, I cannot accept the dream that Freo will beat the Dogs. Let's enjoy our last game for the year and get well and truly [censored]!

They are not necessarily mutually exclusive entities. Statistical information is used as a basis for predictions.

Now don't go stirring up @picket fencefence Wise. He'll get on the vino and we'll never shut him up!

I wouldn't be surprised If Jackson gets a gig. If we do happen to fluke finals a player of his type would be handy, so giving him a run now makes sense.

The atmosphere would be even better if you bought a round occasionally Moonie !!

No doubt you are on the money as usual RTG! I must have had ..... a moment...... as they say. I shall thrash myself immediately.

Surely, for all the [censored] we MFC supporters suffer, the ducks have to line up .....once. Is that hoping for too much ..... just [censored] once!!!
