Bitter but optimistic

Thanks Coup. Geez Neitz was a powerhouse - never tire of watching him in action. Made the team stand a bit taller, always drew a bunch of defenders and just created opportunities. Big shoes for Hogan to fill.

Quite right Doctor. These games are out of my time slot too. I'll be viewing from Romsey Manor and do the shirt thing for the "lads" only.

Good work xarronn - some interesting stuff. I particularly liked reading some of the forum comments. One poster refers to Robbo as "the obese [censored] head". Not silly those aints supporters.

I think our fortunes may reside with TMac.

Bit like being the only gay in the village I suppose.

I agree with your assessment deanox but it pizzes me to have watched our rubbish for years and I am just bloody sick of losing.

They broke the mould.

Ha ha! Touche dc!

Well they may have been a crustacean variety of flea.

The number of letters is correct.

I remember watching Dunn and Bate when they had both played only a handful of games. Neither came on as I thought they would at the time but Dunn has certainly stuck in there and become a good solid player. Congrats to him for his hard work.

Oh dear Loonie Moonie has arrived and we didn't even have to rattle the pig bucket.

No need dc, no need. The old tackle is still fine. However, I would be interested to know how one attracts donors for such procedures. When the op is really fine tuned, I imagine there will be some nervous horses about the place.

Well ...err yes. Alpacas are related to camels. It wasn't the armpits though.

That is a very unpleasant feeling chook.

Hope you are right about the improvement Red. At present Fitzy maybe the Jack of all trades but he is certainly master of none.

Just heard from Biffen for the first time since he embarrassed me at the football last Monday. The fellow has no sense of propriety whatsoever. Anyway he is currently bragging about his latest venture in social climbing. Apparently he was invited to a "degustation" dinner by one of his colleagues. Biffen fairly gushed about the night. The menu consisted of "Sav soup" - that's what left after you have the actual savs for hors d'oeuvres and , naturally, a parma and chips for the main. The wine list was equally impressive - lots of bubbles, five litre casks of "South East Australian" dry red and flagons of Tawny Port to finish. Classy.

You been out with one of Biffen's girls - you Devil you!

I'm with you Ethan. For us to have any credibility in terms of improvement (or hope ) we need to put this one away.

Disgraceful!! Clearly discrimination based on height.

I'm not prepared to concede that dazzle - I've done my fair share of playing over the years.

It wouldn't be modest if I was feeling optimistic. Freo's shellacking also damaged my available gambling funds.

Typical Melbourne.

I've fed the lads and sent them off fox squashing. Now considering a moderate investment on sportsbet. Lunch with Biffen will probably be its usual costly disaster so I'll be in need of a dees win to lift my flagging spirits and bank balance.

Agree with that Young. Besides Fitzy was deplorable last week.
