Bitter but optimistic

Jeez dc you're drawing on an historical example there.

Poor old Bitter cant make it today and ....................... I have a feeling I'm going to regret it. I'm tipping a win for the ages. A turning point. A season definer. A march to the finals ............. and any other cliché you care to add.

To some extent, but the rule of Prior opportunity was strictly enforced.

In your case Ethan, I am certain you are speaking from experience.

Have you had experience in this matter Red or is this hearsay? I ask, because I tried a similar cure for another ..... err ..personal affliction and it failed miserably. And ..what's more ...it made people think I had personal hygiene issues.

Red, I'm not sure of anything anymore - form, the rules, politics, financial prospects, a cure for tinea, my testosterone levels ...etc. etc.

I can't remember a season like this. Literally anyone can beat anyone.

You'll get two brendan

Have you tried that Lothario ? Well Ethan, I watched the last half of that game and I am now convinced I have absolutely no idea of the rules of Football.

Yes, one swallow doesn't make a spring as they say OD. However, what impressed me was the fact that he bounced back from 3 or 4 absolutely shizen performances to play a very good game. Shows a bit of character I reckon.

I'm surprised Gerard Healy hasn't cracked a mention. I remember him kicking some absolute crackers. He was very good at running around the mark but also would rove off the pack or boundary throw ins in the FL. I also have great memories of Neitz. Especially for big bombs from outside 50 that would sail through at half post height.

Really liked Weid's game yesterday. He had a run of shockers but yesterday looked a very good developing footballer. I hope he spends the rest of the year at Casey and actually dominates a game or two. He's still a skinny kid who, hopefully, we can make a 10 year player out of.

What else can you expect from a ranga?

We are sharing a moment here Gnash !! Drinks in Tassie next ?

I'll ignore it because his afl games have been totally sub standard.

I don't get it. Goody said Spencer wont play, so why is he named? JKH is not up to it ..... so why is he named? Salem in for ...... ??

Sounds a bit like the footy equivalent of a golden handshake.

No pressure ...but ...lose this ....and we are [censored] !!!

I am rather affronted by the "old codger" reference. Eggs Benedict BTW. And you missed the maid standing by to turn the pages for me.

I remember the days when Melbourne was blessed by having two decent (albeit in different ways) newspapers in the Sun and The Age. Days sadly passed I'm afraid. Now The Orztralian leaves them both in its wake. The Weekend Oz clearly standing as the best 'paper going around.

It has certainly gone downhill in recent years but still preferable to the rantings of Mr. Dolt and Ms Panahi.

You are a hard marker dc. I suspect you are closet chief flo gger for the Borewood BDSM club.

FMD. The boy has legs like a giraffe. He'll end up 8 feet tall!!

Really like this bloke.

Now now dc ! Surely you know your good old uncle has a natural propensity towards modesty.
