Bitter but optimistic

Some good stuff above but there seems a very sad and recurrent theme that a number of champion careers were cut short by injury.

BTW, and on topic, I think Cross is a great add to our list. Further, the one year contract is very clever. However, I'm tipping that, injury free, Cross will play a further 1 or 2 years!

"Well yes you do," No argument from me .However, my comment refers to a deep and profound online conversation between myself, Biffen and Lord weaver that involved many obscure Biblical references. Nasher , the Phillistine, deleted this high quality work and accused this writer of being inane. Outrageous!

Same for Robbo the illiterate, who gives a [censored]?

No, no good Moonatic. No likes for that retort.

And you reckon I write inane rubbish!

Of course but it's only Moonie. Now I'd appreciate it if you two would stop derailing this thread!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

My post mentioned automatic inclusions Bob. At the time Clarke and Jones would have about been it. I agree that Neeld sent our players into fast reverse and, I also like Fitzy. Hope Roos can right the ship!

That's uranus talking. Apologies to titan.

"delighfully opinionated" ? You're confusing me with Moonshadow. ( god help me)

I believe so. I posed the question some time ago re which melbourne players would be automatic inclusions in another side if we folded. Answer = buggar all.

How delightfully ridiculous.

How delightfully patronising.

I'm sure all will be glad that mine is up again.

Played a few chukkas in my day by jove. Quite handy with the stick if I do say so myself!

Then perhaps we should appeal to Lordweaver for spiritual guidance?

Christ Moon that's now two of your posts that I agree with. Come on .. fess up who is your ghostwriter?

[censored] ? mmmm enough said.

I presume this is a thread that is relying on ironic humour.

"When fit are the two important words." Crucial for every one of our players OD. With our new players we look half presentable - if we can regularly get our best side on the paddock we may do some damage. Ufortunately we do not have the depth of the top sides.

Well, to prepare for the sad day, make sure you keep yourself well pickled with the single malts OD.

This bloke has received quite an amount of unreasonable stick on this forum. In the games I saw him play he demonstrated what hard work and hard running means. He would go after a kick, he would chase and tackle hard. He is the sort of player JW should watch carefully. He obviously has a brain and is a leader. I reckon he is a great aquisition to the MFC and it is unfortunate he has suffered a run of injuries. Among the first handfull picked when fit. I hope he gets over his injuries quickly.

I have to say Curry, that I have found it more difficult to understand you since you changed avatar. That homicidal maniac against the bleak background was well worthy of both contemplation .. and ... dare I say it ..admiration.

Funny .. but naughty ... you will get smacks!!
