Bitter but optimistic

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

"Primordial oozes" !!!!! What an outrageous way to describe the scholarly discourse that this thread is renowned for. I'm sure @Redleg will impose a stern penalty on you Goffy

Of all the contentious decisions of late, this maybe the silliest yet!!!

Tigs home now !!!!

Geez, the Saints getting an indecent run from the umps ! FMD

No mate. That seems far too logical or sensible to account for the rubbish umpiring I see every week.
