Bitter but optimistic

Indeed bb !!! When one reaches the ...err …. shall we say "senior years" ….. that is always to be celebrated.

I would recommend he start with a Rip Van Winkle impersonation.

Hope the poor bastard's membership hadn't automatically rolled over

And most likely beyond od. They are in so far they can only pull the plug and admit failure or continue to tip in coin until the Sins succeed consistently. Whenever that may be!!!

The GC Sins have proved a failure. The Gold Coast has proven a graveyard for basketball, soccer and If my memory serves, even a Rugby team failed. As you say, the AFL is more about business than anything else, so one cannot but wonder how long a failed venture can continue to be propped up.

I have worked long and hard to reach the peak of this honourable profession Red - I would appreciate you not commenting on it in a disparaging manner. As to your vulgar suggestion as to how I should spend my (not drinking) time. I'll have you know that it is the maid who benefits from my considerable flagellating skills!

I believe @Ethan Tremblay knows something of such peccadillos Moonie.

Which particular ...err... "experiences" do you reckon the playing grope group might best draw on Blu ?

Thanks for that lesson in humility Rusty! It seems I pick cricket teams about as well as I pick footy teams!

I believe that picket

Well Mono, I reckon we supporters actually copped it ..... err.... shall we say ….. the other way.

FMD chook! If we followed that rule, we'd have about 3 players remaining!

Let's hope we a superstar!

Here's another one I'd like to know the latest on! Anyone have up to date info?

I must confess my taste in Shiraz is directly related to the cash flow situation at The Manor

Back on topic. We won't see Jack again - i'm sure. However, I hope we can teach/find a few blokes with his disposal skills. Most of our blokes can't hit the side of that fabled barn. Even Salem stuffed it up yesterday.

No worries Jim! The pommy bastards will fold. Be finished in the second session.

Indeed ! The thrust of your thread has altered somewhat Jim. However, I reckon men discussing breast possibilities is a sensible Sunday arvo option. Especially when one's footy team is [censored] and the cricket doesn't start for a few hours!

Inhaling off breasts ??

Maybe ?

I'm tearing up Jim !!!! The notion of a sinner returning to the path of righteousness and godliness always does that to me. ( Never worked for me of course)

They've also got a couple of key forwards to aim at.

To be fair his role never included being a smash through bull. However, he was certainly soft this year but I can't say I've noticed it previously.

You're drinking stronger stuff than me Jim!

He certainly took some very soft options in the games I saw him play Moonie. However, I have subsequently wondered whether he ( like others) was playing under an injury cloud and was simply being cautious. He has demonstrated he can be a useful small forward. It may come down to what @Diamond Jim suggests as to who we can replace him with.
