Bitter but optimistic

No doubt "Uncle" picket fence will be an inspiring role model for young Kozzy !!!!

Well, we've followed the script - hope it's the right one.

FMD !! That's a real man's drink !!!

Hope he doesn't decide to join Jesse in a couple of years.

Get yourself a heavy duty coathanger Ethan.

I'm thinking HP barbecue Chook ! Anyway, if you drink an appropriate quantity of shiraz - it doesn't really matter.

I'm not going to watch the telecast - boredom 101 I suspect. However, about what time can we expect a pick to be made ? I'll check into Demonland's "welcome" thread.

Agreed dc !! It is an annoyingly shitfull word.

To be fair, I’m probably reacting more to the sanctimonious outrage by some posters when another poster dares post an opinion which is critical of the MFC

If organisations can’t cop criticism ( even it’s unreasonable) then said organisations are [censored]

Thanks to all those who reported on the evening Terrific reading!!!!!

I believe they now have sniffer dogs on permanent patrol That will [censored] you up - for a number of reasons

Good thread. I really like Petracca and I reckon he has what it takes to be a superstar. He had a slow start and he has been inconsistent but not many players start their careers as stars - they learn and work to that goal. Petracca has shown bursts of brilliance and is becoming more consistent and reliable. There are some question marks about his kicking but reports so far suggest he is making a serious effort toward overall improvement in all aspects of his game. He's that explosive type of player that can change a game. Let's hope he shows it in 2020.

Just ordered the Hall/Gallen fight. I've never liked knuckleheaded Baz, so tonight I'm hoping to see him get his head knuckled

I like his pace in the forward line

I wonder if the bastards would do 8 for 14, 17 and 24?

Looks leaner allright. Improved endurance will be a big factor in getting him more games.

@kev martin noted that Petty was absent. Anything going on there? I'm interested to watch this bloke's development.

Be certain to visit The Orchard Towers RL. Should be able to satisfy your curiosity about the above and …….. any other needs.

"Truth in sentencing" is obviously a myth. The scoundrel got off far too leniently.

... and the occasional jolly good flogging

Looking at the teams suggested above reinforces my view that we will miss Frost. I don't see Lever as a CHB. Just not big enough for the Darling/Kennedy types and that type of role diminishes his intercept/run ability. Petty? He has size and potential but is still unproven - a big ask. Oscar? Well … Oscar is Oscar. Played some good footy in 2018 but not worth a cracker this year. Which one will turn up in 2020? Who else might fill that slot?

Good God Ernie, what an archaic notion!

Go and give yourself a jolly good ghostly flogging Ernie. You'll be a better man for it.

FMD!! With all the changes and additions we've made to the coaching and support staff, Goody won't even have to turn up. He can extend his holiday in the U.S of A!
