Bitter but optimistic

Standards have been known to lapse when funds are tight.

Same here AF. Very close friend who has been os for months rang me prior to the game for a bet. The stake was a $50 bottle of Shiraz to be consumed jointly on his return to Australia.

Jeez I'm happy and 3 and a 1/2 parts [censored]. I'll give the maid another jolly good thrashing and retire for the night!! Go Dees !!!

Kozzie plenty of enthusiasm but needs some instruction. Spargo Worries me. Bennell Get him in.

May has had a solid year overall but his last two games have been unbelievable Talk about learnings - if that Kid King ever becomes a superstar he could thank May for a few lessons today

Well I reckon Goody can relax his [censored] cheeks for a while.

May ( A game beyond belief. AA for sure) Trac. Strength X factor Gawn.. Worked hard and lead. Langdon. Terrific work rate. Oliver. Showed his class when needed. Salem. Good game. Good disposal.

I'm happily shovelling humble pie because ........ we [censored] em !!! Steven May ( must be AA) saved it for us The Bull won it for us

I've been a strong Nathan Jones supporter but jeez that shocker changed the game.

I'd still like a reply Nev, as to who " the usual trolls who only contribute abuse of other posters and the odd joke " are. It seems to me that a statement like that is just trolling in itself, and you need to put up or ...... well ... you know what I mean.

It's certainly difficult on a forum like this to please everyone wwsw ! Can you believe that some posters complain about my smut and sexist remarks? It's an odd world we live in.

That could be you at any time of the day picket !!

"An American Pale Ale" !!!! I cannot imagine how such a thing would be drinkable Ken!

You might as well tell us who you're referencing Nev.

Sauce Rusty !!!! It's an old Demonland joke ! BTW are you smoking that Tobasco ?

I am a creature of habit Doc.

I'm not trying to be any sort of conspiracy theorist but when you combine this with the Fritsch blunder you have to wonder if all is smiley faces in the camp.

Was the twentieth man Graeme Watson the cricketer ? I simply do not remember.

Fair point dazzle ! Perhaps @Lord Nev could provide some indication of his sauce?

As we all know ....... lose this and that's 2020 done and dusted................ yet another wasted year. I am neither enthused nor encouraged by team selection but that's who is going to represent the Red and Blue today so like others, I will be barracking with my usual well lubricated gusto. I will enjoy humble pie if we beat the Aints.

It looked like men on man to me Earl! Every time a Dog got a sniff there were at least 3 Cats to cause a turnover. Bloody impressive. They'll take some beating if they can maintain that form.

I only watched the last quarter and a half but jeez the Cats applied some serious pressure. Danger played a cracker in that period.

That's ****ty

In view of tonight's announcements, I'm surprised he didn't get a gig with us this week.

Without doubt, the enjoyment I get out of threads like this totally blasts any inconvenience that this corolla virus thing causes
