Bitter but optimistic

They can explain it to me also Mono.

Supporters disappointed............................again!!

It is a [censored] hole - the only redeeming feature today was my presence.

Just home and [censored] off. This may not be the thread for a rules question but I would like to under which rule Melbourne defenders are not allowed to go within 20 metres of Nick Reiwoldt?

Hope you're enjoying a saki or two Col. As to your points above - Hipsters. I believe our resident bun man Earl Hood is currently denying his hipster associations and trying to make a living in pharmaceuticals. Lamas. Not a subject "the lads" care to discuss. Pimping and the Gat. The Gat is being sold and sanitized so Biffen's business interests are currently suffering. Booze. Well hate to say it but there appears to be some problem drinkers on this site. You know how it is Col, everything changes but things stat the same - well usually. There has been one profound change which has left this thread in tatters. OD has cast off his cloak of pessimism and glumness and is spreading the word of joyous optimism.

Looks like something Gomez would make for Morticia.

That's one I haven't tried!

Well you are clearly claiming to know better when you censor much of my brilliant writing Gnasher.

[censored] of fence . This thread is only for the intelligentsia of Demonland.

They are not desert boots dc. FFS [censored] poor imitations!

No room for the spirit of forgiveness in the new positive OD?

What about your good self Mable? Will you be wearing some sort of national costume? Beads? Grass skirt?

Indeed OD and a lot of posters forget he has played some good footy for the dees. Nice bloke too!

You're kidding yourself Stu. Your lack of class will be exposed early and you'll get the arse out of the corporate seats fairly quickly!!

Yep Uncle Bitter had the inside on this. Spoke to him outside the Jim Stynes bar pre the Richmond game. The really exciting aspect was his comment that " I want to be a part of this". It seems the club has turned around and the players are on board for the journey.

I'LL BE THERE!!!!!

Now I reckon only Oliver will join Petracca. Brayshaw is one likely out but the other ..... no idea unless there is an as yet undisclosed injury.

It was a different world then Stu. You would actually " step outside". However, in retrospect we were dick heads!

Yes correct SWYL and he did exactly that!! And apparently Jack replied and cleared the air.

I don't condone violence. ( Unless it's a jolly good flogging) . However, there has been a fair amount of bull shite over this issue. Rance did a stupid act. He apologized, admitted it was stupid and didn't want young players to follow his example. He copped two weeks for this. End of story IMO. I still cant get over that [censored] that Merrett did to Pedo a couple of years ago and got away with. When I played suburban/country footy getting " a whack behind the ear:" was standard practice. I remember one occasion when the coach instructed me to " give one " to an oppo player who was killing us. I duly followed his instructions at the first opportunity and received a quick 15 back.. The bastard was a TV ringside boxer!! A bit after that I worked as a barman/bouncer at a Port Melbourne and a Richmond pub. Copped a few. One night a bloke hit a fellow barman with a stool and the jumped the the bar to finish him. I grabbed a big cordial bottle and hit the [censored] between the eyes. That was in Port Melbourne. I [censored] of immediately and never went back to collect my pay.; As I said, you do stupid things.

I think you'll find Jake Spencer will have his first game back - and likely opposed to Mark Jamar!

I imagine it will be an apology. He always seemed a fair sort of a player from what I saw of him. It's easy to do something stupid that you sincerely regret later. It will be interesting.

Yep tossers both.

Usually I would totally disregard anything you had to say picket. However, I did catch part of a review of this film while listening to the radio. It seemed to have enough peculiarities to be worth a look. Biffen knows something of pawnshops as he cashed both his mother and poor old grannie's wedding rings at one.

IT'S PAYBACK TIME!!!
