Bitter but optimistic

Not while you're a Dees supporter deever!

Don't generalise bin's p a ( or worse still patronise ). I am among those ' landers who have pumped up Windsor. I've also touched on the comparison with the great man. However, myself, and I'm sure most 'landers are also realists - we know there will be setbacks and flat moments during the development of a career. Let's just enjoy ( or dream about ) the highs for the moment.

They'll certainly come hard Dub ... but I reckon we've got them covered.

Tonight's game is just about one of those famous "eight pointers" ! Going into the bye with 5 in a row and just one loss would be a huge start to the season. Brisvegas , on the other hand, is facing a disastrous start so they'll be flat out to recover their season. Our backs have been pretty slick. Big Joe will find May rather more difficult than some kid from Norf and I can't see Dipwood getting on top of a rejuvenated TMac. As always Charlie ( super player) will be the danger and a real challenge/experience for McVee. Max Trac and Viney will win the crucial Mids battle ( Neale's 250th notwithstanding) but what would really seal the deal is a big one from Oliver - it's due. Kozzie leaves a hole for sure but it has provided an opportunity for the "Kolt" - good luck kid. Hopefully BBB draws a crowd and allows the others a little more space. Fritta kicks 4 and we win. A couple from Trac sneaking forward would also help cover Kozzie's usual contribution. Really looking forward to watching Windsor again - this kid is pure class and quickly becoming a favourite. ( I'm also starting to understand the comparisons with our famous number 2) That's a bit long winded for me but your poor old Uncle Bitter has been a bit under the weather of late and couldn't sleep! A life time of hedonism may finally be catching up. Prediction. Dees to win by 9 or a full blow out and a 39 point victory. Happy days - go Dees!

There is always a "spare room" at The Manor WCW. ( Imagine a lustful font for this post )

What about young Brown picket ?

If you wanted proof of what a decent human being Trac is, watch how he shepherded that little kid Eddie through 360 tonight. Wonderful stuff.

The bull [censored] continues.

Dc do you have the rule or document whereby "low v medium " contact is defined?

I'm not that generous Dub!

Time for another Jamieson to soothe the beast SWYL !

I'm ashamed to admit it Dub but the filth are the last leg of a decent multi for me!

Can't

There is even more to be said about the feel of leather on flesh.

Why did Jackson tap to space ??? Stupid, stupid play.

That was the get out of jail card for Carlton. [censored] !!!

A win by Flagmantle would brighten up a an otherwise dull Saturday arvo.

Not sure (or care) about "biggest upset" Red, but it would certainly [censored] up my multi !

You've never really shaken off that Oedipus thing have you ?

The numbers of frees for or against don't tell the whole story Bob. It's when and where they are paid .... or not paid.

Fair call bin. And a claim that every team could make at some point during a season. For a billion dollar industry operating the highest profile sport in the country, the standard of adjudication of the rules of the game is just plain ****ty. As to what should be done about that ? I have NFI !

That amazed me also - total silence from the commentators!

I thought Kozzie was the victim of a blatantly high tackle right in front of goal very early in the game. Apparently I was hallucinating.

Strong team win from a tough scrambly game ... on top of a short break. Class does show through ! Two wins in Adelaide - who else has done that? Inexplicable umpiring at times! Bring on Brisvegas!

[censored] !!! Clear push out !!!
