Bitter but optimistic

What the [censored] are the Saints doing in the eight? They are [censored] stumbly , fumbly [censored] ants !

BT just then " an indecisive decision " !!! FMD !

Saints are soft. Letting the paper baggers back into this far too easily

Max Viney Bradshaw Petracca Kozzie Hunter

A very shabby start - hope we've got that out of our system !! Then the big guns said enough is enough and opened fire - Max, Viney , Petracca and Brayshaw. ...... but what about Kozzie ? Fair dinkum, a few moments of Kozzie magic cures much of the pain we MFC supporters have endured over the years. I reckon it's happening this year !!!!!!

I was referencing booze gate Red. I thought he might get a DCM over that !

Just read OP and now I understand ! I shall repost ( rather than riposte ) my previous confidence. Just because there has been a number of very odd results recently - it means nothing to what the Dees will do today and we shall not suffer the fate of other recent favourites. The only matter that concerned me was the possibility of ****ty Taswegian weather evening things out somewhat but @DeelightfulPlay 's post above has reassured me! I confidently predict a 60 point win.

Doubt they'll have Lloyd much longer.

Hey ! I'm a reformed man Bin! No bans or points since ...... well ... last year and what goes on with the female domestic at The Manor - stays at The Manor. (Mostly)

Hey guys, take the discussion of libations to "NoTSNoBS" thread.

The latest update from Norf. Whisky drinkers please take your discussion elsewhere. First the Optimists Same, first Tassie game ill have attendeded. I've got a good feeling about this week… I give us a sneaky chance against the scum next week. …there is always a chance Melbourne try a few different looks that give us some breathing room for the boys to get a roll on and make a fist of it. We’re due a surprise win, go Roos! A hint of masochism. Ill be tuning in because I’m a ******* [censored] I'm heading down with a couple of Go Dees siblings. Expect this will be like a root canal without sedative Fortunately I won’t be anywhere near a tv at that time. Otherwise I’d be tempted. I’d rather be in a gulag in Siberia than watch a minute of this game. Acceptance of the inevitable I’ll be 200ks off the Qld coast fishing. No phone/TV service, boat doesn’t have Fox thankfully. Wonder what I can plan for the remainder of the year? With last week's game I reckon we're all back to being the husks we were during that streak last year. Which means every goal will basically feel like a win. Woohoo This playing group is ripe for a belting. I reckon it’s gonna get ugly and early. May, lever and Tomlinson are going to destroy larkey and get a intercept mark record I'm not sure another beating is going to do a lot in terms of confidence. 40 points is just about party time territory. Forward thinkers or fantasists ? (with a whiff of nostalgia ) Would both Grundy and Brown be gettable? My childish dream is BBB coming home. People may laugh but he'd be a better support for Larkey than an unavailable Charlie Comben or CCJ. Strongly agree. Understood the circumstances but hated him leaving. Opportunity for Grundy to get to know his new team mates next year? A tone that maybe familiar to Demonlanders Dawson still no go even after he was very good in vfl. Must be banging someone's daughter Anyone that pays attention to where people are named on the field is an [censored]. People who actually have the ability to pay attention know we do stupid things like name Powell at CHB. One change after that s**t show.. really?. Maybe we need a flogging for changes to occur Lose to the worst side in the competition... NM selection - nothing to see here... all is well. I know there’s nobody knocking the door down but jfc how is Turner still getting a gig? Turner, they are taking the [censored] Silver lining of the club treating selection as a joke is that we can, free of guilt, do the same with the game This club is a joke. Really lost me at the moment. It's just not clear what the club is looking to achieve in the short or medium term with recent selection decisions or the message they are trying to send to members. I hope they get their selection s**t in order next week, because we are a chance to win against another bottom 6 team at home. When Kayne was selected last week, my first thought was that we're tanking. Zero selection integrity at this club and its been that way for years, really starting to s**t me. Another week of baffling selections. We’re either tanking or taking the absolute [censored]. It seems a notable Demonlander has some influence in the Norf camp !!!! So I'm left stewing, taking the positives as they come, and resetting next year after they've hopefully had the fear of Beelzebub struck into them during preseason @beelzebub

Toiges are pathetic ATM !!

I had a big luncheon at the Cosmo in Trentham with disgraced Demonlander Biffen. Of course , ! had to pay - FMD ! Not sure how I got back to The Manor but I've put a shiltoad on the dogs .

This is a sad and pathetic post . FFS man up !!!!!

I've put my hard earned on the Dogs tonight.

Author of Hawthorn racism report charged with fraud The author of an incendiary report into alleged racism at Hawthorn Football Club has been charged with more than 70 fraud offences over allegations he siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars from Murray Valley Aboriginal Co-operative. Phil Egan, who played 125 games for Richmond between 1982 and 1990, was charged with 32 counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception, and 33 counts of using false documents by detectives from the financial crime squad.

It may be Luci that while there, you can solve the perennial mystery of what is under a Scotsman's kilt.

Goody was on 360 last he was quite clear that Oliver would not play this week. Make of that what you will !!

I am a great admirer of Tmac, he has been a terrific contributor and a premiership player ..... but ..... sadly, I doubt he'll play another senior game.

Here’s the latest update from Norf. Not a lot of posts to choose from but hey ….. they’re totally [censored] up so that’s to be expected . ( Love it ) Here’s a couple of pragmatists “I've had tickets to fly down and watch this for a while. I am annoyed that there is a footy game scheduled at Bellerive for 1:10pm on Sunday August 6th as this could detract from my brewery and distillery visits.” There are so many better options to do on a Sunday at 12, and thus I shall indulge in them and not watch. Will be on here after to blame Mcdonald, who probably had another shocking game and shouldn’t be captain.” The optimists “I expect we’ll have some sort of rally. We’ll only lose by high double figures.” A smart [censored] "Hopefully Melbourne feel sorry for us , forget previous history and rest some good players. Dear Dees I hope we weren’t out of line by beating you about 19 times in a row “. This one might cause a few demonlander [censored] cheeks to tighten “I had the usual pre game v GoDees chat with my Melbourne supporting newsagents this morning, saying “you guys will rip is a new one this week” and they came back with their usual “these are exactly the type of games we usually lose!” They’re still scarred from being exactly where we find ourselves now, ever wary that the fall is just around the corner.”

Well well Luci, I'm sure it's easy enough for you to talk about "negotiations " ! After all, you're enjoying an indolent jet setting lifestyle while your poor old Uncle Bitters labours away tirelessly and without reward. At least tell us where you are so we poor Demonlanders confined to icy Melbourne can at least, vicariously, enjoy the privileges of the uber rich!

It appears that this Doctor's professional competence has been questioned. This could skyrocket into very dark and costly litigious areas accompanied by negative PR and a media pile on.

There is a large parcel of [censored] still to hit the fan over this matter you would reckon?

FMD WCW !!!! Do you have a pallet for a palate ? That coffee from 7/11 can be barely be termed swill . Even calling it cat's [censored] is offensive to cats.

I presume you have disinherited him Jane ?
