Bitter but optimistic

Late breaking news!!! Apparently Biffen did get found out and was arrested when leaving the family day at luna Park!

Yes, well you did say so yourself picket and nobody else did. Anyway, I cant\'t ( sorry that looks like deeluded's [censored]) have Pedo and Frost in the same side unless one of the backs is injured and he is down there.

SWYL, do you remember - I reckon Crackers Keenan was reported in his first game for Melbourne and got two weeks?

Have both your bails been removed Ethan?

Are you certain it's first class cricket Bobby and not just the hit and giggle stuff?

Arrgh, there's the rub, now I can see why you are a Dr Dr, and not just your standard garden variety alchemist. You have spanked the nail on the head!!! You see, my life is virtual reality - I think.

Our Max - more than just a pretty face.

WTF were you doing at a "family" day Biffen? Recruiting? Procuring? Selling? Must have been poor security!!

Special, I'm not going to let you travel in the Merc so get over it!!

I liked Pedo's effort and reckon he has given himself a good opportunity at a start against GWS. All a myth of course.

I take it this year's crop has survived bugs , bushfire and other maladies OD?

I am sure all will pleased that Uncle Bitter is able to post again. My computer has just returned from extended hospitalisation. It required some transplants plus a miracle cure for the technological equivalent of a combined Zika and Ebola virus. I suspect the lads have been using it to surf South American porn sites. I notice OD has been posting some remarkably positive comments on this site and can only put this down to a near death experience caused by a combination of single malt and free Pinot. The good Doctor also made a comment which I found perplexing - "The Hopping Dicks BDSM group assures me that they are no less effective than any other method and have the advantage of assisting in environmental control". I don't intend arguing the efficacy of bamboo and/or rattan but rather the very existence of The Hopping Dicks BDSM group. I have an up to date listing of official Australian groups and they do not appear. While it is possible they simply have not paid their affiliation fees, I think it more likely they are a small family owned and operated organisation rather than a rogue or outlaw group. As to Earl Hood and his Paul Osicka Shiraz 2012. Yes it is a decent Heathcote drop but you should have bar b qued the roo leg over a 44 gallon drum while sloshing it down from Riedel shaped plastic cups. (I will, however, give dc some credit for his advice about the quinoa salad - a pretentious addition in my opinion)

Just got my computer back from the virus clinic. Also only saw the last half. iMPRESSIONS - Garlett some great tackles and still has that magnificent speed. Kent showed a bit . Vanders my choice for a breakout , brokeout. Jack Viney FMD he is a unit. Gawn has found a tank. Hogan will [censored] over a lot of defenders. Like the look of WaGNER First impression of Kennedy is that he looks a player. And a smart one. Yes and young Oliver - tough little bastard.

Now list care flo , unless you writ improve , Im goin to have the good dr beet yu with his big bambo

He's staying!!!!

He's gone!!

I would have thought an afficianado like yourself doctor, would choose a reliable Singaporean rattan !"

That is [censored] funny!!!!

Fair call 'bub but I reckon Heppell is up to the challenge!

These nab games hold a real interest for me for a number of reasons. I want Hogan and Garlett to kick some goals and reassure me that they are going to provide our main firepower again. A few from Kent would also be nice! I believe there is an 8 man bench so hopefully we get a good look at the new guys. Port has a handy midfield so there should be a chance to see how Oliver stands up physically among some hard bodies. I also look forward to seeing Hulet (spelling) who has been talked up and Kennedy who I wouldn't know if he ran over me. Pedo gets a lot of bad press here but I like his tenacity so I hope some good nab performances earn him a game. Grimes is another I hope does well and of course Our boy Jack always provides more questions than answers And finally my pick on the break out thread Van Demon.

Perhaps Heppell's role is to make Robbo appear articulate?

As usual Moonie - a vulgar attempt at humour that is offensive on multiple levels I shall report you to the good doctor , who I am sure, will give you a jolly good flogging.

Good god man!!! Pull yourself together while you still can. Malbecs ! Merlots!!! At least you didn't stoop to Sangiovese! No wonder you got stitched up with guava paste. Stick to a good Aussie Shiraz from S A or central Vic. I'm twice the man for it.

Before or after he walked across the Yarra Pipe?

Two bottles of decent Shiraz per day is a far better health option Earl. Also, spend more time with the servants- calories a plenty can be burned off exercising with the maids.
