Bitter but optimistic

Jones seems destined to become our games record holder and a legend of the club.

No use playing the sympathy card special - I'm not letting you in the Merc.

Bugg: Animal not insect.

Agreed OD! We are long overdue to inflict some pain on them. Sadly we will have to venture to Darklands to watch it.

Brayshaw is down on form and confidence and him being rested for Oliver wouldn't surprise me Petracca is the wildcard here ! Do we want to debut him this week?

I was a little too "tired" to post last night but here' s my view from the good seats Max Gawn. Simply a colossus Viney. As usual a powerhouse in and around the contested ball Garlett. Kicked 4 and had a hand in another 4. A key member of the team. T Mac. Strong marking and provided a real barrier in defence Vince Classy always and a good finisher. Also provides a bit of mongrel Tyson's more even effort just pips JW for my final vote

A reasonable assumption Mable,however I can assure you Biffen would not do such a thing. I have had the"pleasure" of Biffen's company on a number of occasions . He usually just snots on the floor but if it's more formal he uses his sleeve.

I'm enlisting you as my official advisor on matters football OD. I'm already feeling confident about next week's game!

Yes picket I noticed you getting a jolly good thrashing from a number of posters. I must say I enjoyed it immensely and considered it totally justified. Now as to some sort of panacea for your ills. If you were a fellow of sensibility and style there are any number of fine wines I could recommend. However, associating you with a cultured palate( or cultured anything for that matter) brings to mind the old biblical saying about "casting pearls before swine". Therefore I suggest you go out and buy the cheapest and nastiest "fourpenny dark" you can find and slurp down the contents. You can then beat yourself about the head with the empty bottle until you lapse into unconsciousness. PS. if you need advice on cheap and nasty wines contact Biffen. He drinks nothing else.

I think Emerald has answered that question for you Red!!

Well done dazzle, I read it over breakfast and was waiting for someone to post the link. Nathan comes across as very honest and his love for the club is evident. Some posters question his leadership but from the article it seems he is constantly aiming to grow in this area.

Well ok but make sure he does not sneak any Collingwood paraphernalia into the ground ie socks, jocks, black and white hanky.

'luded is my favourite poster. I miss his intellectual insight. He should be reinstated immediately to bring some sanity back to this site.

Are you bringing the filth with you on Sunday Jane?

Correct Biffen. Dee luded is a wonderful poster. A bit erratic on occasion to be sure but his heart is in the right place. The cheap shots at him seriously [censored] me.

Love your work picket!!

Correct Mable. I usually hate Essendon more than any other team but , as the septic tanks say, I shall be rooting for them on Monday. I have wonderful visions of Eddie's face when the final siren goes and the subsequent implosion at filthland. Apart from Monday though, I wish Essendrug every ill for the rest of the season.

Have to 'fess up. I had a good whack at Hawks at $1.40.

Jeez you blokes know buggar all!! Adam and his missus named Evie started it all. They lived in Eden (which is now an over rated town in NSW). Anyway a scientific analysis of the literature carried out by an Irishman named Usher calculated the first bang as it were ( not to be confused with the Big Bang) to have taken place about 4000 years BC . (And likely even before OD) Our lately silent mod aka the good doctor would be able to confirm this.

picket you are an imbecile! Biffen you are a pig! I can't post at the moment as I've been watching footage of Our Majesty's 90th. I'm teared up and excited. I'm just hoping for another royal wedding or royal birth. It's a re run of "Beaches" for me tonight.

You will probably get a ban for that statement skinny. Stuie is the only poster qualified to comment on myths - ie pedomyths!

Good Lord Mable!!!!! That Canabodia must be backwater indeed. Those movies had a great influence on me and Jabba the Hutt was my role model. In latter years though he was supeceded by Pizza the hut

Yes and I'll get a seat in the wheelchair section.

Timing is everything isn't it? A few years ago and the only coverage of women's footy was on the Coodabeens. The girls were battling it out in the mud for zilch. Now Daisy will be making a squillion - and good for her she is a talented and articulate advocate. I hope the comp takes off and they all make a quid.

No!! You are an imbecile.
