Bitter but optimistic

I don't really want to consider the possibility ATM. While we've had some wins this year, and seem some potential future stars, I have to say this year has also served up some of our most noteworthy and terrible disappointments!

OOhhh dear !!! Such a blistering and articulate rejoinder!!! I am wracked with guilt and shall be sleepless for weeks!!! BTW your effort may have improved through use of quotation marks ( talking marks to you) around the word spiritless.

I'm over hearing this stuff - I've heard it for [censored] years. Once again- for all our "spirit" - and toss in effort potential or any other [censored] thing you like - we are "short on" the four points.

"ooohh yes we tried so hard and it was in Perth and the umpires were against us and we are so young" ........ FMD!!!!!!!!!!

We've played that song far too often Jack. I'm over this "potential" , "inexperience and " next year" bullshite!

Don't give me any positive [censored]. Once again we proved what a spiritless [censored] up club we've become.

Risk taking with vanilla milkshakes! Contemplating riotous and licentious behaviour! You been watching Redtube again?

Bacchus goes ok Biff.

You do that every week Jaded - you must be a [censored] pot!

Well it will be positive Goffy - this one wont get the sack.

That's picket's dump!!

I went to school in Clifton Hill so a mate and I went to Vic Park to watch Melbourne and Collingwood . 1968 I think ,Tassie Johnson was full back. We were in year 10 and we knew a lot of blokes there. We ( ie me and my mate )got a hiding but because we had a lot of local mates they didn't give us a kicking - good day.;

Melbourne Ports is gawn Moonie! Perhaps you should remove your hand you Greenie [censored]!!!

I believe he played at Casey Bombay!!

Sir Billy!! Outstanding out!!

Bring the Pedo back!!

Yep can't argue with the outs. Reckon Grimes and Trengove are gawn!!

"[censored] poor form" I think it's called Jack!

There was "no way" we could have beaten Geelong at Geelong ............................

Now then adc, I'm going to insist that you present yourself to Stuie for a spanking!! Your "humour" is unwelcome on this intellectual thread as it is clearly degrading to the fair sex. I'm sure righteous posters such as ..... dc ... well perhaps not dc . Maybe Biffen ... (no he runs a brothel) ... Well anyway it will offend someone. In any event singling out ostriches in a derogatory comparison to the fair sex is also patently unfair. The Society for the Protection of Ostriches will be after you. Actually I believe our Green voter maybe offended. Sort it out with him!

Well that would be a major reversal from ripping off charities for years.!!!

Wonderful!!! I hope gnasher does not delete this gem.

arhh picket ! Like all lunatics you sometimes hit the mark! I must say I have no particular interest in Prince Albert. However, I'll admit there is much speculation about his nocturnal activities. As to Basil - my interest in him stems from his wonderful portrayal of the great detective. The films were largely inaccurate but Rathbone fit the Sherlock character better than any other. In fact I have quite a collection of Basil Rathbone memorabilia! Now here's a dark secret just for you picket. One of my many fantasies was to be a rich factory/sweathouse owner in the Victorian era. Make of that what you will!!

Bit hard on Pedo I reckon. He was going well and doing a good job as forward/ruck but was unfortunately stopped by injury and illness.

[censored] !!!! Is Saty a Pom? I didn't know that !! I hope he paid more than 10 quid to get here!!!
