Bitter but optimistic

"Cooney would have been a match winner had we won." Just took the above gem off Bomberblitz". The supporters must be on some sort of [censored] too.

BTW I hope MM was watching Garlett play like a demon today!!

On the way to the footy there was this very nasty demo going on in Fed Square. Some real meatheads in attendance ( and that includes the cops who were useless). I moved into the thick of it just to work out what was going on. Anyway a rat faced little tur d started abusing a lady who just wanted to get through. So I gave him some free advice about manners. His reply was a two fingered salute. I suggested he move away from the police to a different location and repeat the gesture. Weak bas tard wouldn't be in it!!

6 McDonald 5 Jones 4 Watts 3 Brayshaw 2 Garlett 1. Vandenburg

I too had difficulty believing and thought some of the "Health Substances" Biffen supplied me with were Hallucinogens! BTW. As I was walking back through Fed Square there was this Canuck sheila putting on a stand up show - total nutcase. I'm wondering if it was Mable Demon!

Yes it's a tough call Hoges. I guess it all comes down to best match ups against GWS.

My highlights- Brayshaw Hogan All new players We tackled with ferocity We kicked the ball Forward We didn't fold when challenged HL's steal and goal - a matchwinner.

Tread lightly Hoges. Biffen maybe is many things - procurer of women, drug abuser, alcohol abuser and, as he has just demonstrated, a polemicist of rare skill. He is most definitely not a fool!

I'm with my mate Stu here. If Garland is injured then the above selection is the way to go. If Garland is OK then Vince for Toump is a certainty. Dawes will come in but Frost is just too useful to omit so I'm thinking JKH or Kent out but man ups against GWS will have to be considered.

Stones Green Ginger was the favoured heart starter when I played. Usually a 3/4 time booster.

Just heading off boys and girls. Put some hard earned on the dees and hoping the day doesn't end in the usual tears and pitiful drunkeness !

Just a ...misunderstanding Earl Hood. I'm sure I sent a cheque ....... must be Australia Post's fault.

Norman Gunston?

Good on Roos, spreading his business interests around. I imagine, like all of us, he has to plan for retirement.

Thank the Lord he is a long way removed from the "skinny kids" we usually debut.

Where have you been the last seven years loonie?

You'll be pizz ed and obnoxious by then Sir. (And so will I)

Suppose you'll have to suit up Jizz. Do you tuck the strides into the "gummys" or do you have stovepipes that slip over the top? I imagine hearing the Anthem played by a toothless banjo player will draw a crowd.

FMD!!! You've got me Dr!!! It was Barthes who said "that the form does not suppress the meaning, it only impoverishes it". Now please explain that to me as I've been wondering for years.

You've been invited to ..."open local league tomorrow" !!!!! Bra hahah ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make certain you shake the cow shite off!!! Ha Ha ha.... "open local league"..... WAhahahahahah......!!

It's difficult as I have a rather robust figure. Biffen, as expected made some tasteless suggestions involving fish net stockings. However, I intend adopting a style that allows my machismo to come through. I rather like buns so the hipster look seems appropriate. Unfortunately Earl Hood's bespoke tailor is yet to come through with the clobber. If worst comes to worst, I'll don the dinner suit and masonic regalia. Should turn some heads.

I'll be there. Hopefully it will improve my current mood. I cannot abide having charity tins thrust in my face. When I point this fact out (clearly) to said tin rattlers, people look at me as if I am mean and niggardly. FMD!!

How's Easter going for you so far Curry?

Good post Pig - once again it is glaringly obvious that Jack Watts is the cause of all our woes.

I don't get this Number 31 stuff either. I mean Ray Groom was a good solid contributor but he was no superstar!
