Bitter but optimistic

She's a bit young for you dc!!

FMD Jesse, that avatar is so [censored] ugly I cannot read your posts!

Just on your way out dc?

I haven't looked at the records Rob but from my memory Bernie Massey was full back and Tassie took over when he retired. I have a kid memory of reading the teams in the Friday night Herald and having a backline of Johnson Massie Miller. OD may have be able to confirm (or not) this.

Getting "the teeth" fixed od ? tsk tsk wink wink!

Well I was only making polite conversation dc ( as we of the upper class do) but .... Stones Green Ginger !!!! FMD!!

Name names or you are just as weak.

I doubt we'll hear from dc tonight. Apart from his usual rather notorious commitments, I read today that Borewood has joined the list of Melbourne's $million suburbs. I suspect dc will gargle a few Porphery Pearls in celebration - FMD he may even buy one!

Anyway old uncle bitters has had a very busy day and must retire.

...or defeat.

No doubt dc, but we mere mortals don't have some enthralled old babushkas to help us out.

Yeah just imagine what he would have become had we picked him up!

I reckon I can get down to Tas for that game. Any chance of providing a couch for a fellow d'lander Gnash?

Yeah could have been a ripping yarn with some decent editing.

Ha! Would you believe that is the second obscure linguistic term that has come to my notice in the past fortnight? A former colleague sent me a text about "collocation". Hadn't heard the word for I reckon 20 years but I did at least remember it. "Pleonasm" however, sent me to the reference book. As to "remuneration" - I will need more evidence of your credibility than a mere Hopping Dick before I part with my ill gotten gains. Edit typo

No doubt that's what started but this guy kept it up even when Big Bob was filling the goal square in the VFA.

It's all guessing at this stage I suppose - educated or not. As I mentioned on another thread, I had very positive reports on Parish as a pick up but his size might be a concern. Curnow also has very good credentials but is a big lad and this could be the difference.

Remember him well - as bbub pointed out number 8. One radio commentator at the time always called him "Tassie Bob ". You'd remember him playing surely SWYL?

A disgraceful post! Go and give yourself a jolly good flogging nut.

Be even better if we could transplant about 15 kg of Daw's muscle onto him.

I, of course, shall continue to remain aloof from all forms of vulgarity and poor taste.

Would that be a battery operated err .. zimmer dc ? tsk tsk!!

Do you think he swears eternal love as he humps them off to the beyond?

MMmmmmm.. fair point Moon. I had forgotten Dr. John's roots. I think he needs to explain the derivation of this place name and his part in it.

Don't be such a hypocrite Biffen!! At least dc does not hide his predatory ways - we know what he is chasing. (Although some would consider hunting prey that relies on a walking frame a little questionable)
