Bitter but optimistic

You must have had too many Shiraz ox !!!! That’s on the Changes round 8 thread - which is now closed

Well my good Earl it will indeed be interesting to see how the compressed fixture is handled You’d reckon training and rehab will be tailored for this. They’re not going to do Tom Haffey style post drawn grand final floggings So I reckon there won’t be large numbers of changes week to week

Which post ox ? Or have I had too many Shiraz?

Well the ins have mostly all been covered in demonland speculation Smith is a surprise but I can’t see him getting a gig this week

Well some good injury news at last!

That’s what I said Picket - “drunken layabout “

Correct

You work picket ??? You actually make some sort of useful contribution to society? Picked you as a drunken layabout tbh

If tmac’s eye is ok he will come in - a certainty As to who will come out - NFI !!!

A reasonable assumption my good Earl, however, I still have a shot ( maybe two) to be fired !!

It took some time ......... but I finally caught up with the maid. All is well at The Manor!!!!

6 . Max Gawn I'm voting for a second time ( labor party rules) just to make certain Max gets the max. He was simply inspirational today !

Only a couple I'd argue with Joe ..... but I'm so happy ... I won't !!

Gawn Petracca Viney Oliver Langdon Weid

[censored] me . We looked like a premiership side today!!! Max Gawn - A mountain. Petracca - best game ever. The good times are over for Clarko - rebuild. I made some serious money and ..... the maid has gone into hiding!

I’m slurping the Shiraz

Yes and I had a sneaky few on Dees to win by 40+ !!

As long as you hate Carlton more !!

That is most likely a part of the job description DD !!

Ethan your posting today has been wonderfully insightful and original! I reckon there is a job waiting for you on either the channel 7 or fox commentary team.. Your choice! ( just pm me as to which one you select)

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.
