Bitter but optimistic

Bring forward the start of the season FFS !!

How very non pc of you Steve! Give yourself a jolly good thrashing …….. immediately !!!

Crikey!! I hope Saty doesn't read this - he'll have a fit !

3AW did the footy too od - or does my memory deceive me?

The Captain and The Major. Used to listen to them with my dad - happy and funny memories

Footy is a terrific game and we all love watching it and being insanely passionate about it. Yet there are continual and ongoing attempts to [censored] with it. It does my head in.

American football!!! FMD !!! Am I alone in saying this is boring bullshite and I couldn’t possibly ever get sufficiently [censored] enough to waste my time watching it?

Always happy to assist with groin issues!

Arden st. Still a dump I imagine but preferable to a three day trek to the wilds of Casey

In my experience a good dose of penicillin usually cures groin injuries

I sincerely hope you are correct in this od. There would be no better fillip to our season than to win game one over there. It might also bury some nasty hangovers from our ignominious exit in 2018.

A calf injury on already dodgy calves is a very worrying sign Calf injuries can be bastards at the best of times.

Top job dworship !!!!!!!!! You are hereby ordered to give up your day job, family and anything else that restricts you and report on all future training sessions

Gotta love Daisy !!

Give me a break doc - you ever tried [censored] into a goblet!

You'd better find a spot for your old mate Toady !

I imagine I’d be voted in as captain but before I commit I want to know who is doing the pre and post match rub downs

“Poor old jimmy “ .... yes .... well .... I suppose it’s possible he was just .... errr .. misunderstood .

Just between you and I dc. The good Earl likes to keep his association with the above club ..... shall we say discreet. Again ..... just between us .... I believe he fits the “ dubious morality “ requirements quite well

Stirling effort Earl Hood !! No doubt you realise you have the full support of all the Loyalists down here in the Antipodean Colonies. ( I have ordered the maid to sew a bulldog motif on her smalls to show that The Manor is at your back) Surely that elusive knighthood cannot be far away?

I'd like to see Weid earn the spot through his pre season efforts …. and then keep it through his good form. It is time for him to deliver the goods - he can't survive on "potential" much longer.

In a proper well ordered society everyone knows their place.

Good heavens od, I must say I'm surprised. I thought you would show far more sympathy for our hard working monarchy. Please don't tell me you're one of those anarchist/ republican rabblerousers !!

Instead of mocking my good taste in crockery and cars you buffoons should be sparing a sympathetic thought for our own @Earl Hood I've heard he’s suffering a severe attack of the vapours over the going’s on among our beloved royal family.

And ….. given the changes in list, coaching, support and admin …….. so it should be. This is a major issue for us. We haven't got the depth to cover injuries to key personal. We had a pretty good run in 2018 and we need it again this year.
