Bitter but optimistic

Quite right Jack .

Unless someone comes up injured you could put the mortgage on no change.

I didn't make any promises for this match but for some reason, I had to stop the Merc about halfway between Scumbury and The Manor to have a very nasty power spew.

Really tough this week - 22 into 6 does not compute Harmes Weed Brayshaw Jetta - Just for his pure guts Lewis Viney - This bloke is built fpr for non pretty smash and bash finals football

It occurs to me Ethan that you have taken the term “elimination” far too seriously

I note a number of posters are feeling nervous about the game. I'm not concerned at all - we'll win. I am however, very nervous about the large crowd and subsequent queues to get booze. The notion of the dees winning and me being unwillingly sober is very uncomfortable indeed.

This is not the time to be rational Skuit!

Thank you Ethan, your crude post has helped my body clock readjust to football on Friday. My pumped up nethers are now telling me with certainty that the adrenalized Demons will swamp the poosies early and go on to a memorable crushing. Further we will follow this up by smacking the dorks next week. Unfortunately the swelling then subsided so subsequent predictions are on hold as it were. BTW Ethan did you throw your nervous outcomes around the neighbourhood?

I'm not in the groove yet. Friday football has confused the shite out of my body clock.

MudDog seems a high quality citizen . Of course his choice of sauce on the kebab would be a factor.

Thanks Red - I've always been a good judge of character.

Thank you so much Ethan. I cried and cried while watching this. I forgive you for being a pervert.

I don't do much online stuff so I've organised Moonshadow to get my ticket. He's charged me $400.00 for a level 2 seat . Is that right?

How else?

What a bunch of nonentities. Who are they? What are they? Even the tooth disadvantaged filth fans provide a topic of conversation.

What's wrong with sending a letter?

Viney and Hannan in seems obvious. I had doubts about Spargo but he did some some smart work today. The two weeks rest will benefit him I reckon.

Jeez it's tough when we play like that. Armchair view. 6. Max. ( Lobbe looked half decent for the first 15 minutes then Max took him apart) 5. Harmes. Can't believe how this bloke has come on. Playing like a superstar. 4. Brayshaw. Business as usual for him. 3. Jones . In the thick of it all day. Strong Captain's effort. 2. Clarrie. Quiet start but lifted around the ball and up forward. 1. Trac. Did a lot of muscle work. A really dangerous player around goal. Sorry I did not fit some of excellent defenders in

This was the best I've seen of the Weid. He looked confident. It was as if he finally felt comfortable in the big time. The club has developed him well and he is coming good at just the right time.

All those who carped about Melbourne not beating top 8 eight sides can now officially GAGF. We are worthy finalists and will do some damage. Bye bye cats next week. Also all the Jones haters can GAGF - top game from the Captain.

Just listening to 774. They announced a late change at the MCG. Hannan in JKH out. FMD!

Scatter some chook entrails to absolutely certain dc

Good question Col. It will require rigorous self examination. I'll get back to you.

I'm a late out, so will be part of the TV audience. I have a feeling. It started in my nethers ( a sure sign of veracity) and is evolving. Because I can't be there, I reckon Melbourne will have a mighty win today. This momentum will then carry us into a glorious victory in the Elim final. I will have to rejig the nethers before subsequent predictions.

Wouldn't that be wonderfully, typically, shitfully Melbourne? First final in 12 years and we'd have to travel to [censored] city to watch it!
