Bitter but optimistic

Some mention above of Vanders in possible match review strife. FMD - if he even gets cited for that then footy as we know it is [censored].

I'm so delirious that I would even give a Stuie post a like.

Fair call od ! I reckon he was running out of petrol tickets a couple of weeks ago. And yes, size does come into it. He's only 18 and has yet to muscle up or develop core strength. I would have doubts about his current ability to withstand the rigours of a final. Give him time though.

Team effort today 6 Bshaw 5 Max 4 Milkshake 3 Jones 2. Jetta 1. Harmes

We’ve done it! We’ve finally [censored] done it!

Arrh thank you. I thought there was a trick to it.

You have alluded to your ability in this regard on a number of occasions Ethan and, I must say, such high level skills are laudable. However, it begs the question about the supply of …. err … ammunition. Do you carry, shall we say, a magazine or is there some spontaneity involved?

Only if you bunk with Ethan

Usually too [censored] off to give votes after a game like but some efforts deserve recognition even after what the yanks call a cluster [censored] like that. Harmes . a terrific all round game. took it on when needed and battled all day. Clarrie. tagged but still got plenty of it. forgive his kicking Brayshaw. See harmes above. It gets tougher now Omac. Did what he had to and played with some composure Salem. Tried and showed his class Vanders. Far from perfect but he was played as a forward and kicked 3 .

It might have more impact if you give them a brown eye Ethan

I’m really seeing the value in my Trident membership, that guarantees me a grand final ticket

We’re [censored]!!

It’s not wrist slashing time yet - but it’s [censored] close

Just arrived. Lots of Sheilas today looks like they’re labor voters

Tells us a bit about Clarrie’s focus and determination There’s got to be a Brownlow brewing away under that ranga top!

In my experience Cards, the exact opposite has proven to be true

Along with not moving him to Hawkins much earlier in the Geelong game.

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
