Bitter but optimistic

Last week reinvigorated my optimism od , so I'm not prepared to put us in the cr-p basket just yet. However, if we don't win today, I will stuff us in that basket and nail the lid shut !

Nil all ?

As you would recall Jim, for quite a few years it was round 1 !!

I reckon composure is the key Luci. Have a look find a target.

Watched the Dorks play Geelong a couple of weeks ago and thought if we can't beat this rabble then we might as well pack up for the season. I'm sticking by that claim. Apart from Tmac, we can pretty well put our best side on the park. I was surprised Jackson got a gig, but hey it's bizzaro season, and just like Kossie, how else is the kid going to learn the game? Melbourne easy! And the the first jolly good thrashing I'm dealing out today will go to Sportsbet.

They have clearly conceded BOG to Max !!!

I’d guess Tomlinson- Jackson is just too raw and inexperienced

Quite so George. The adds are wonderful. Ive made some lovely new friends ( in fact I’ve received offers of marriage) and discovered some very useful .... err devices !

I’m with you picket!

No serious damage and a chance to play according to The Sin

all this talk about Rankine is [censored] me ! [censored] him !! We won the game - that is all that matters.

I must respectfully disagree with you Ox They weren't horrific - they were [censored] outrageously terrible !!!

If Tmac comes up ok - no change. If not - Brown in

I don't usually post comments on this thread. In fact, I cant remember doing so before, but I reckon Gawn's game today was just off the planet. When we needed a mark - he took it When we needed a clearance he created it. We needed a leader today - and he provided it Just fantastic

They're correct about Max !

6. Max. ( This was a fantastic game. When we needed something/anything he was there) 5. Viney. Strength and determination. He can carry and lift others. 4. Langdon. Good pick up 3. Trac 2. Salem 1. Clarrie

We are back !!! Crush the hawks next week Worst umpiring I’ve seen Garry Lyon bog for suns Max Gawn - Hero!!

We’ll win this. Back it in

Umpiring !!!!! [censored] me!!!

Just watched the Natanui interview What a sportsman and gentleman!!!

Bah! What a vulgar suggestion I wouldn’t use that stuff to polish the hub caps on the farm Ute!

As long as we’re in front !!!!

It’s a balancing act od ! Dictated largely by whether I guzzle large amounts of vin ordinaire or The Manor’s budget allowing me to savour a higher quality Shiraz

Now now od ......... let me enjoy my moment of joyous optimism!!!!!

I like our selected side. I reckon we will win comfortably I am particularly looking forward to watching Bennell and an improved VDB, now that he has a couple of games under his belt In a joyous celebration of my returned optimism, I shall give the maid a jolly good pre game rollicking !
