Bitter but optimistic

Good work Barney. You can have a threesome with Betty and Wilma as a reward.

Luke Hodge has been around for a while bing!!!!

He's 18 and does a dickhea d act. I'm a number of decades older and still do dickhea d acts. Give the kid a chance. He might just learn a lesson.

AAhh Biff! You were born a generation (or some) too late. Think what you could have added to the great musicals like Sound Of Music and South Pacific. Or perhaps Gilbert and Sullivan? The Mikado set at The Gat seems a winner. Or Peter Allen might have called Fitzroy Street home.

Your right.

Parish is our pick 3 - back it in . Weideman is our likely second pick.

Is that the same as Berlei?

I read it this morning Jack and I was none the wiser. FMD!!

More an unfortunate by product than a speciality dc.

Oddly enough Special, I am also considering the Hobart adventure. I must say your excellent choice in apparel surprises me. I thought you were one of those "poor people'' who myself and Earl Hood are condescending towards. Still I suppose your good taste aspirations in clothing could be satisfied at one of those charity places. Shops of Opportunity or some such i believe they are called. BTW the merc 4wd doesn't have a boot as such.

Tasmanian seafood!! Unbeatable. Love the clam.

Nice whack. Biffen will be outraged!

It's true - I really did go to school with him.

Thank [censored] I didn't take you to Canberra Special.

Mate, I went to school with Gregory Roberts (Shantaram) .. and I turned out quite normal.

Did Betty give you one when you got home?

I thought Parish would be our first pick but if Song is going for Bradshaw ..... well I can't argue with Mr Gif.

Van Demon is my tip for this year.

69 for me.

Your pretensions to joining the upper class will have you watching for inspiration Biffen - don't deny it.

Well Red there is something far more important than the draft tonight!! "Mary, the making of a Princess" at 8.30. The Lads and myself are very excited. I believe Earl Hood is making a cameo performance.

Bwaha bwaha haha . Thanks Stu, made my day - for all sorts of reasons.

Stuie please stick to talking about football - where, sometimes at least, you makes sense.

Wonder how much profit we obtained when we did three in a row? Bit shy of 3 mill I reckon!

The "comp" is out of whack but, as to Hawthorn, well money and sponsors want to be associated with success. If we can even partially emulate that success we'll have profit hanging out of our [censored].
