Bitter but optimistic

I think I deserved to go straight into the semis at least dc!!

Great spectator sport

Just a momentary lapse Stu. BTW we are almost in accord. I want Riley in for his muscle against Collingwood. Newton also provides this as well as the ability to kick a goal. Tyson adds a bit of class. Bail and Jones out. I'm unsure of the third. Fitzy should go as he was totally inept last week but may get a reprieve on the basis of being a tall defender. Watts and Howe were also very ordinary but will play in the big game. Toumpass did some good things but did not go hard on a couple of occasions he needed to. Despite the limp wristed effort , three changes will probably do it.

Not possible! That would mean that I considered 12 of my posts unworthy of comment, when obviously everything I say is a (turd) pearl to be admired and polished!

Wash your dirty big mouth out Moon! Stuie says he knows more about football than even Saty does! enter "big"

You sound very empathic Ethan? Do you detect that OD needs counselling? God knows he probably does. However you could better direct your skills to some of the real sickos on this site. I hesitate to name them (Stuie ) In fact Demonland is full of weirdos and strange [censored]. FMD, the more I think about the more I should stay away from here. In fact I have serious misgivings about you Ethan.

All we we have to do is keep this bloke. He is a genuine superstar in the making. Get that! We are talking SUPERSTAR !!!!

Well i have to pull my head in on this one dc. The Catholic child molesters are definitely outgunning the Anglicans at the moment, however, I'm sure they'll make a comeback!

A very inclusive quote. About what you'd expect from that particular institution - only ignored about half the population.

Just your usual standard of post dc?

"From ugly duckling to a graceful swan"and back again!

We might have targets but why TF would they want to come here?

Simple overarching autobiographical statement really.

Australia is an open genuinely free speech society. One of the few in this world. However, I often wonder whether or not "free" discussions, such as the preceding 10 pages, actually do any good. Seems to be more a digging in, or reinforcement of opinion, rather than any possible acceptance of change. Wast of bloody time really.

Enjoyed a luxury cruise on Lake Titicaca not that many years ago. I recall purchasing some trinkets from poor people who lived on floating haystacks. I don't think they could afford quinoa.

You're very lucid today Biffen. What happened to your usual Sunday drug overload?

Funny you should say that. One Saturday evening while rehydrating in the dressing rooms there was a gigantic Melbourne thunderstorm. After about half an hour you could have floated "Proud Mary" on Sparks Reserve. The water was halfway up the goalposts. Sparks was an integral feature of the stormwater drainage system for that area.

I played a lot of cricket at Sparks Reserve.

Et tu dc? An unkind cut if ever there was one. (I think there is a spelling error in that)

I am devastated by your rapier like wit Stu!

I thought better of you Stu. Didn't pick you for a wife beater or one who would "relieve himself on (sic) bars"!

Reckon you're close David but Fitzy will not be replaced with a tall. Howe did put in a shocker but he may get another chance.

Yep, Fitzy was totally shown up today. Out next week I reckon ..... and could be curtains for him.

Go and give yourself a jolly good flogging Gnash!

Wonder if Ollie Wines is still reeling with disappointment at not being picked up by Melbourne?
