Bitter but optimistic

That's the spirit Red - don't tamper with a winning formula!!!

I posted a congrats above to Bernie as I ( among many others) really enjoyed his niggling, his good footy and his enthusiasm. I don't like to write the obituary too soon but sadly I think his 100th will be his last game for the Dees. If Hunt goes ok and Hibbert is nearly right I will be very difficult for Bernie to get back. Add to that he is 33 I believe and out of contract. It will be another one of sport's cruelties if Melbourne plays finals and Bernie is forced to spectate.

Just listening to David King on 360 and his very reasonable comments about the moral outrage ( my words not his ) that have accompanied this incident. Yeah it was a shocker but don't the media love it. [censored] me the vultures would love another big whack this weekend so that they could continue the sanctimonious [censored] they have been wallowing in.

I shall give Moonshadow a tongue kiss.

Indeed. I read somewhere post game that Goody said something like Pedo had been playing good footy down back at Casey. Could be on the money Ethan. If Milkshake is right he'll come back. Vanders did ok first game back so JKH is on thin ice.

Oliver Salem Bshaw Harmes Hogan Jones (Could have fitted few here but thought Jones played a pretty handy game)

Haven't read the whole thread but isn't the younger Brayshaw an Eagle's player? Make for an uncomfortable team meeting!

Had this discussion at the game Milshake back will be handy

Agreed on both od !!

We did what we had to - 4 points and percentage! Look out Swans!!

Well that’s clearly not me I’m far more sophisticated in my apparel

Well I'm heading off to watch us build an unassailable percentage. (Although we wouldn't need to if we hadn't dropped that game against the shitty saints!)

I found an old truss at the local opp shop Moonie - I'll give that a try.

Far be it from me to question the integrity of our pollies Earl but wasn't it stated some years ago that major sport would always be available on free to air?

I think that's fair

Unfortunately I am sans maid ATM and being severely hounded by Workcover.

That Crows Port game was one of the best I've seen for some time.

Jeez that was a good game of footy!!!

I'm not sure how my presence impacts on the numbers - I take one seat and my guts flops over onto another.

Jeez, I'd have almost parted with a knacker to have seen Brisbane win that game and wipe the grin of that smug little [censored] Scott's face!!! Anyway I've tipped the Ravens.

Bernie has been (and still is) a terrific contributor to this club. A genuine team player who added a bit of mongrel during some tough times. Well done Bernie!!!

Don't worry about what you doubted or didn't while growing up od ! You now understand the true value of a single malt or a decent red - that will get you through times of crisis!!

Is this what you call a speculative selection?

Agree absolutely Ethan and if we don't, as I stated above, we're kidding ourselves ……………. again.

You must be chief flagellator at your local BDSM club Febes! I've followed this club for around 60 years. I guess the above stats go some way to explaining why I'm so [censored] up.
