Bitter but optimistic

No worries OD I'm in mufti. And, I no longer have to worry about the other grass.

God I'm loving this thread. It shows the best ( or worst of Dland). It's a bit of a cricket match really. WYL is batting against a varied attack and is not out. Yes he has played and missed and there has been a DRS controversy or two but no one seems able to bowl a yorker. Keep playing. I'm sitting back on the grass, enjoying a drink and hoping to last till stumps.

Perhaps not but I have an endearing personality.

Jeez this bloke has improved. I watched him at training out at Casey 2 (or 3?) years ago. He had 2 left everything and little confidence. If his improvement continues at this rate he will be a very good player for us. My apologies Fitzy. I shitcanned you on this forum and now I take it back.

I make the kids give me the good stuff (chocs, bikkies) from their lunchbox . It teaches them about abuse of power.

I was wandering around the gate 3 area for quite a while on Sunday (Had to go the office) and no one approached me. Odd!

Give me some credit for good taste Moon. I wouldn't be caught dead in any of that stuff!

I'll " skip to my Lou" for a fellow pedagogue RTG.

Disagree RTG. [censored]'s comment was fair. Davey was both great and , at times, [censored] poor. It does not do to eulogise simply because someone is retiring.

I don't think having dealings with Miss Palmer will help in stain removal.

Now Stuie, because I have a serious "man crush" on you I'll thicken the plot further. Two weeks ago I was told by a 40 year member of the MFC that Roos as coach was a "done deal''. The source is a sensible level headed bloke who has been reliable in the past. Make of it what you will but, for the moment, just keep it between us.

Now some narrow minds (aka Moonshadow) will consider this distasteful DC but I'm sure you will accept this advice in the spirit in which it is given. I can't actually speak for Betadine but certain , shall we say stains of a personal nature, can never be fully removed from undergarments. My best advice is to put them in a charity bin and replace with items stolen from a poorly guarded clothesline.

So, to paraphrase good old Sam Clemens, reports of your demise were greatly exaggerated. Good to have you back.

I'm not entering the debate here but I think the above is, on most occasions, sound advice.

I tried to PM him last night but it bounced back.

I'm a bit worried about you Robbie. Why did you bring up alpacas. So here's something to help you out. Forget Biffen and put yourself in this fellow's pants.

Not sure about your contention here Rog. I reckon Fitzy is a pretty good kick and Spencer is vastly improved. I remember watching Spencer's first game and first kick. He dribbled it about 15 metres along the ground. Now he is also generally reliable. OK I would not want them in a kicking contest to save my life but give credit where it is due.

I'm home. I'm drinking (heavily). Cannot be bothered joining this discussion.

I just wonder what influence the identity of our new coach will have on good players being prepared to join us? However, even if we snag JC as coach we would still need to throw around plenty of cash.

It is a 1 hour drive and then a 20 minute walk. Plus a bit of pre game fortification is always required.

Just getting ready to head to the G. Who else is bothering?

Biffen knows a bit about scat.

Haven't watched the show for years. Sam's opening comments made me sick. I won't be watching Jack Watts. This is serious rubbish and I cannot subject what remains of my IQ to it.

Maybe you could recruit Allen Jakovich to mentor Jack on ................ er goal kicking.

I need to listen to a clean cut young man like JW just to purge myself of your enviable despicable lifestyle.
