Bitter but optimistic

Crikey where is everyone??????

Yeah it shits me too Biff. I was switching radio stations today and all heard was Collingwood, Collingwood ........ Apparently our game up north was a figment of the Demonland imagination.

I'd be interested to know how those Darwin games impact on big blokes like Gawn and Hogan. I remember reading that Jono Brown would lose 5-6 kg during a hot game in Brisbane. Apparently this was all very closely monitored and he would be fed a huge hamburger and litres of drink immediately after the game. He would not leave the ground until measured levels of hydration and weight were re established.

Imagine we didn't throw away 4 points against Essendrug!

BTW Ethan were you magnificently ungracious in victory last night?

Probably a bit early to go on this topic but Oscar looks an out so I'd reckon Wagner back. A lot will depend on how players pull up and a couple of the younger guys did look exhausted so Ollie Chew Chew may get a gig - possibly for Stretch.

6. T Mac - Maybe his best game 5 N. Jones - He was there, when needed, all night. 4. Hogan. 4 goals. Marks all over the ground. 3. Tyson - Did his job without being spectacular. 2. Jetta - Very solid and created some forward moves. 1. Grimes. Ordinary start then lifted.

Ha ha ha !! Well at least you know what to do in future doc!!

We'll [censored] on them!!

Anyway game time boys (and girls)!! Notice doc roet has gone - must have taken my advice!!

It wasn't the ideal place for a pleasant family dinner. Dunno if it's any better these days.

I believe he is snowed in at his meth lab in the ( ......) hills. Either that or he is deceased.

Well Col it's all a matter of perspective - ie whether you're the flogger or the flogee!

So???

You're behind the times faulty!! Stu and I are mates. In fact Stu will be taking me to Bible Class tomorrow morning.

[censored] me!! That used to be one tough pub! I got a hiding there about 40 years ago for refusing to buy a ticket in the raffle!

You maybe able to travel in the Merc special!

Anyway it's about time for my old drinking mate Stuie to weigh in about derailing threads!

Certainly special ........ it's the thought that counts. FMD!!

Bit short of funds currently Special - my recent trip to Asia had some unexpected consequences. Perhaps if you could advance me a few dollars we could consider next year?

Tell her she will get a jolly good flogging if she doesn't hand it over!

Are we the only side that Essendrug beat this year? Just sayin!!

Crikey things are quiet on d'land! I suppose it will heat up later but that maybe too late for me. I started my pre match routine a tad early and am already into the red (Jaded take note). As a result I am incapable of going and getting takeaway. As a further result the squeeze is even more [censored] off and a home cooked meal seems highly unlikely. I'll go down to the barn and watch the footy with the lads.

What a wonderful clip Col! Most uplifting!

Start with a few beers Jaded and build toward the red. If ( unlike myself on far too many occasions) you are still conscious for the second half you can begin frenzied red drinking - either in celebration or abject sadness.
