Bitter but optimistic

My pregame post said tight to half time ..... and then away we go I'm sticking with that prediction

This is tough footy !

Rohan lol !

Fritsch is a quality forward. He is cruelly underrated by non Melbourne people.

I'll bet they'd rather him being stretchered off

I'm sad

Hawkins looks like an oil slick! [censored] environmental disaster

Just listened to Goody on Fox. He said Oliver had a bit of hamstring tightness ... and added that ... any other suggestions are incorrect

Just made a mercy dash to the Romsey IGA to pick up a couple of "just in case" bottles of Shiraz. I couldn't resist a quaffer called "squealing pig " - I figured it might be appropriate to a post game Chris Scott.

Mrs Picket beware !!!!!

And long may it be so Bombay!

Petty for sure Dub. Having a multi ( or two) tonight ?

And .... hopefully .... with good company Bombay!

Kids/grandkids makes no difference. If you're a big bully like me, you just threaten them. Works every time. Effective parenting 101.

Yep! I know she's a terrific kid and is develop[ing into a rusted on Demon's fan!

I'm taking one on a road trip to Alice Springs next week !!!!

I trust you've googled up some suggestions on what's involved in this unfamiliar activity WCW ?

The drink suggestions aren't improving - in fact they're getting worse. Whiskey and milk ! FMD !!!!

This is one game in which I have no hesitation admitting that viewing from the comfort of The Manor is far preferable to live attendance. However, I must also pass on my admiration to those hardy Demonlanders who are making the trek. I'm feeling very upbeat about this game and foresee a comfortable win. The ****ty weather won't help their key forwards and May, Petty , Lever etc will finish the job. I'm predicting a tense first half and then the Dees to runaway by 4 or 5 goals. The Manorial staff will be busy refilling my shiraz.

[censored] me ! He has had way beyond his share of ****ty luck. Hopefully the tide will turn for him in his post footy life

Tassie Johnson ... hence the etc .... the list was very long !

Just wanted to get your vomit emoji count up Delightful

An excellent plan Stiffy.

Philistines , Mongols, barbarians at the front door ..... what is this thread coming to? I have tried endlessly to add some refinement to this thread but , apparently, I have failed miserably. I'll say it again. The only libation for a refined gentleman is .... of course Shiraz. Follow Uncle Bitter's advice - you won't go wrong!

Massey, Miller, Roet , Williams etc... Some great players way back then
