Bitter but optimistic

Time for the test ( and a red ) picket

If Petty is out, surely Thommo must come in. He would be have to be considered hard done by if not.

You have maliciously disparaged those adaptable and industrious 6 legged creatures Jaded, you can expect legal action from The Royal Society for the protection of Cockroaches.

Correct Loges - I wasn't my usual chipper self that night. However, you are welcome to peruse some of my past posts - you'll be a better man for it. ( Just joking. Even I wouldn't read my posts again )

Is the DA full of nut jobs WCW or are you an outlier ?

And of course ..... there is "Rule of the week " to take into consideration. ( BTW Well done with your score prediction bb ! )

It's somewhat short of compelling viewing , that's for sure od . In fact I've spent the afternoon enjoying the rare sunshine at The Manor.

He probably saw you first Red ......and ...... well , trying not to be hurtful but ... you know the rest.

I'm quite hurt WCW !

Sex, Shiraz, travel, cricket ...... ( and living in The Manor of course )

Hipwood .... by a margin ...... for mine.

Agree with this 100% Bin ! As I alluded to earlier, I would love BBB to put one on the board in the first few minutes to take the defensive focus from JVR.

Best you have a few early pots to settle things down Dub

Night game and our strong defensive unit ! I can't see Brisvegas kicking that score bb !!

And I always thought borewood was 15 minutes from nowhere dc !

Come off it Layz ! Don't encourage the sheilas !! ( It all started when we gave them the vote )

A fine in bred product of St.Albans no doubt.

Tonight would also be the perfect time for @picket fence 's favourite player - "Spargypants" - to bob up and snag 2 or 3!

One, that would mean rubbing shoulders ( Urgh ) with plebeians - a fate to be avoided at all costs. And two .... most horribly .... the terrifying probability of the train picking up neanderthals at St. Albans! No, I shall travel in one The Manor's comfortable fleet in far better company.

Wow ! Wasn't that bloke Vice President of the good ole US of A ?!

What a game this will be. Brisvegas are looking to gain street cred at The G and we must win to solidify a top four spot. Our defence must restrict them. A repeat of last week's form from May would be handy and we must keep a leash on Charley. I reckon Petracca will spend more time at centre bounces and tonight's finals like game will draw the best from Viney. Our forward line is the question mark. Someone must lead the way with a four goal haul. It's a huge test for JVR but hopefully BBB will snag one early and drag the heat. A return to form from Kozzie and we're certainties! Friday night games make for a very painful trek from The Manor. Could someone please confirm whether or not Dynon Road is fully functional? The Manor's in house diviner has predicted Dees by 19.

A very profound allegory .

Touche !

Yep, it's the experiment we all wanted to see! I'm not a great fan of Smith as a sub though.

I have to say, I'm really hanging on the official team announcement - the most interesting possibilities for quite a while.
