Bitter but optimistic

Just finishing off a little soiree at The Manor. Good night all round and enjoying lashings for desert. After a quick kip, your good old Uncle Bitter will be up and about to watch the Dees clean up the Doggies. The highlight for me today will be, Kozzie's return, Clarrie's improvement from last week's run and Max bouncing back. I'm also keen for Hore to go well - as I thought he was stiff when de listed. The Dogs are no mugs and if the Dees are a bit off it could be dangerous DEES by 27 points.

Mine says tickets are "not ready yet". Try it tomorrow Hell ...

Toiges looking good at this stage. [censored] I hate Carlton.

Thommo out of the squad ! [censored] if I understand that. I would love to be a fly on the wall in selection meetings because ,honestly, I just don't get some recent decisions.

I quite liked Cox when he first started at the Filth ...... but he's developed into a first class [censored] wit. Something to do with the company you keep I suppose.

Quite right old . The gap between a good amateur and a top line pro is light years in almost any sport.

There are a number of good reasons for BBB's inclusion. His forward play nous and experience. His reliable kicking. The fact he will draw defenders and thus take the focus off JVR and frittata. However, given his age and wonky knees, the big question is whether he has the fitness and durability to run out a game at AFL level. Hopefully the coaching staff have and accurate and reliable take on this.

Thanks Deelightful - wonderful and useful word!

I believe Marlon Brando was an expert on this subject.

Lighten up Ernie!

I'm too busy debauching to post !!!

@Demonstone above is correct with his comment about a ragebait generator. We should all know by now just how witless Slo bbo is. BTW. Notice he couldn't resist a little shot at the MFC in his Max Gawn comments.

This thread definitely declines in quality without my tasteful input!

Geez sport can deliver the highest of highs and the lowest of lows !

Well the scoreline is meaningless. I enjoyed a couple of the new faces showing a bit - notably Brown and Windsor. Although I was a bit disturbed when the first kick I saw Windsor ( touted as an elite disposer) take was a dead set turnover - but I got over it ! Does anyone ever tell Viney, "It's only a praccy game Jack"? [censored], he goes like a bull in any situation at any time !!! The big and main positive of course is that Clarrie is back!!

The highlight for me was to be seeing Oliver. BUT ..... [censored] ..... Fox are not showing the final 3 "quarters" ! EDIT . Take it back - they are showing it !

Well ..... that's err deeflating .

Any chance of getting a hot sheila for a date if I joined up WCW ?

So the DA is full of rough and scary sheilas ?

Good job Friendly F ! Thanks!

It would well worth it f d’s !!!

I'm watching Australia v WI 20/20. [censored] if I know why. T 20 is [censored] cricket.

"stick" ? Fair go Goffy, I'm a traditionalist. Give me the cat o nine tails over a stick any day!

Demon shop closed ??? !!! How can that be? I've never actually found the place!

As a result of all the hoo ha in the media, I had to resort to Google to work out who/what she was.
