Bitter but optimistic

The rules about consorting are also a worry. I'll have to keep away from the influence of those shady types who frequent Demonland.

Then you will all like the fact that I'm back - a reformed character after my rehab. I've spent a few days fox hunting with "the lads" - most enjoyable.

Kick the poms while they are down I say. BTW could we have those poms who outed themselves above banned from Dland?

That's less morally distasteful than what you usually do with yourself Moon.

How touching Moonie. We have moments of accord - it makes me tingle. However, to get back on topic, I would exclude Garland for much the same reasons as Jones. Also I don't think Grimes is ready for it either. I am in fact, uncertain. I would like Clark in many ways, but his limited number of games exclude him IMO. An interesting decision to come.

And .. just so I'm not chastised for being off topic. I don't think Nathan Jones will be our next Captain.

You're back Stuie and subtle as usual! If I was a Mod (and I would make an exemplary one of course) I would have banned you for far longer than me!

What an articulate post!!!

Nah! I go for soft, furry and easily squished creatures.

Thanks Daisy. Haven't laughed so much since running over endangered species.

Bah effing humbug! Eff Xmas!

Yes and we bent over and copped said shafting with a smile. I hope those days of being a pizz weak stand for nothing club are gone forever.

You're in top form tonight RTG. Holidays drawing closer!

Let's hope they do!

Agreed Agreed

I'll play RipVanWinkle - somebody can wake me up when Moon writes something worth reading. See you in the 24th century.

Pravda has also gone to [censored] and is no longer the reliable source it once was!

It's curious though. The Age has gone to [censored]. The Sun always was [censored]. Yet some of the best op ed stuff and opinion articles are to be found in The Australian.

Since when does positive matter DC?

A bit glib and simplistic Rhino. The press push this notion of freedom to make sales - honesty in reporting seems to me to run a distant second.

I think you're being a bit hard on Fitzy. I remember my one and only visit to Casey fields to watch training and Fitzy was subbed on during a match simulation session. I heard him yelling out "Who do I pick up, who do I pick up?" - he didn't have a clue. I watched his first game and simply thought - FMD. However, the improvement shown last year was mind boggling and it leads me to think this guy could be a diamond from the coal mine and capable of far more than we imagine.

Don't think so Song - I've seen most of them. This thread is set up for clever and witty comments. What are you doing posting on it Moonie?

Pleased to see that you and your wisdom have arrived Lord. There are many sinners and malcontents on this site who lack spiritual guidance. Unfortunately I cannot remain as the my " personal problems" that arrive about 9.30 have done so. I'm sure many will follow you to glory.

You need to be more patient Biffen.My sister is a slow learner but once she gets the gist of something she is quite wholehearted in her application.

What sort of a spineless reply is that Moon? What are you made of? Are you a real man or some sort of pathetic fringe dweller relying on social security and hand outs from back street benefactors like Biffen
