Bitter but optimistic

Bloody hell indeed! You can hardly change the deckchairs when most of them have been thrown overboard!!

Have you ever considered cleaning up your lifestyle Biff?

Everytime I bend over I think of Lordweaver.

I don't mean to be rude Biff, but who uses hot water at the Gat?

Sorry philanthropist.

Are you giving up being a philanderer?

I was having this discussion today. THe MFC have my membership money so my turning up or not, doesn't make that much difference.There are matters of inconvenience involved in actually going to the footy. I reckon my reserved seat will remain unused for a while

The key really is Gawn. ( Does anyone know just what his current status is?) He will give us a target and he can take a mark (some uncertainty about his kicking). For all the [censored] he cops Byrnes is a good crumber - having Gawn there will give him opportunities. It should also give Pedo and Howe the opportunity to run and lead. As to bringing Dunn forward - can/t have it - our backs aren't too bad given the [censored] they are put under. Leave them because GWS also has a big forwards.

That is just about dead set correct!!

Brad Green knew how, when and where to lead. Howe needs to learn this. Brad Green was a far more physical player than Howe and could play body on body footy. Brad Green was goal hungry and demanded the ball. We don't seem to have anybody with that attitude.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing!

The "lads" are being very supportive DC but I'm actually still in denial -I need to move on.

Noticed the idiot Robbo was at his best - Nathan Brown apparently plays for us!!

Biffen is just coming out of his weekend drug haze - I'm sure his eloquence will be sufficient to the occasion.

It was said at the time that it was just iced as a "precaution". The inference being he'd be right quite quickly.

Thanks (not) for pulling that post up. He's looked effing useless so far, but with all the big man injuries he going to get more chances. He will need to produce the goods.

It shouldn't be a problem WJ. Only thoughtful,sensitive and intelligent types post on this thread.

I didn't post at the time but I would have said P. Roos !!

I suppose some of your "teat carriers" are black and white like those pictured above your post. Any other resemblance?

Yeah the Rugby and Soccer franchises should be paying us commission. Good luck with your daughter 34.

FMD!! Now I'm really depressed!!

Leave that Westralian lingo in Westralia please Fl og!

You are correct BB. However, I would argue that the mistakes he made today are outweighed by his courageous and gut busting example to others. We have players with more natural ability than Jones (and I don't have to name them). Unfortunately, when the going gets tough, and it often does at Melbourne they fold. Jones keeps going. Jesus, I am glad he is resilient, because if he ever gets injured - we are fully and properly [censored].

Re Jones - The poor bastard is entitled to make mistakes. He carries the side. Agree about Pedo but Spencer busts a gut. He was in a no win today trying to take those two big bastards on his own.

Start the next one breathing right now.
