Bitter but optimistic

It’s a gift dc - a gift!!!

Here's some light amusement lads. Our good friend - inner urban, leftie , greenie tree hugging mate Moonshadow is currently doing a months rehab. Bwahahaha - it's like locking up Bambi ! Bwahahaha - can't drink my shiraz for laughing! Bwahahaha ! I'm so happy !!!!! Hahahahahaha !!!!!!

Jesus. It looks like I’ll never get a free drink out of you od !!!!!

If it’s to The Manor od , bring a case of that Pinot you’re always bragging about but never share ! PS. And don’t use the excuse that you’re fighting with your sister and can’t get any PPS And don’t use the excuse that the aphids struck PPPS And don’t use the excuse that lack of sunlight didn’t allow the vines to ripen

Obviously , I expect to receive an invitation to every available game. The rest of you ……………. go and eat cake.

No idea who'll pick him up Jim. Hunt and Picket, who have the pace, will be at the other end of the ground.

You'll work that out when you have it in your hand Rusty.

Well we won ( unconvincingly to be sure) and ,given the disruptions of the preparation, I reckon the selectors will be looking for continuity and a settled side as far as possible. Kossie was selected originally so, despite his stupidity, a place will be found for him because his pace , and hopefully ability to snag a goal, will be invaluable against Essendon. ANB will probably be the unfortunate out. Jackson looked raw and inexperienced because he is raw and inexperienced. In a normal season ,if he was debuting now , he would at least have had a few Casey games behind him. We definitely lacked a strong marking forward so Weid will get another chance. Smith produced a couple of shockers but the fact we won and he has had an even longer break than others will probably get him another game. If not, Oscar is the logical replacement. I don't see the Smith forward experiment happening. Tmac must lift. IN Kossie, Weid OUT ANB Jackson.

6. Max 5. Petracca 4. Oliver 3. Langdon 2. Salem 1. Rivers ( He looked confident and comfortable for a first gamer)

No no no Andrew ! This will not do at all ! Far too decent and logical. You lambast "vitriol" yet it is the very essence of Demonland - the staff of life so to speak. You must learn to direct it at the AFL, the Media, the coach and the players ( anyone really). However, and most importantly, always remember it is best aimed at other posters. PS . A bit of smut and adolescent obscenity is always welcome also. PPS. A word of warning. There are quite a few wackos and perverts on this site so be wary of them.

Well .... I’ve got no idea what to make of that !!

The pain

Mmmmm interesting analysis. Not sure about the idea of a formula for insanity though. Just as in …….. "close personal encounters" ( corolla virus euphemism ) spontaneity achieves the optimum results.

Just waiting at Scumbury station for the train to Spencer Street. Aiming for my usual counter lunch and gutful of pots before heading over to Docklands Funny …… I don't see any other supporters around. Well as they say …… the early bird ….

You’d better present yourself at The Manor For a jolly good flogging picket You might find it has a calming effect

Someone tell me Who does Chris Scott look like with the face fuzz?

This is elite level stupidity!!! Given recent suspensions and the club instructions they must surely receive- it just beggars belief I am lost for words ........,,

The first time a brothel was listed on the stock exchange I did a pocket load on that investment. Wish you hadn’t reminded me chook !

You may!

The team selection is certainly radical However times are strange - unique I like it !!!!!! Provided we win

Well I did put on clean underwear

Actually had my first Zoom just recently. Wonderful technology. However I’ll have to work out how to filter out the background “noise” from The Manor’s dungeon

Hahaha ! [censored] me, that says it all !!!

Didn’t like the kneeling. Looked derivative and tacky to me.

There is a picture (somewhere) of Ditta bursting on the scene in his first game for the Saints - he was sitting on the Melbourne ruckman's shoulder at a boundary throw in - I reckon it was Graeme Wise.
