Bitter but optimistic

One thing I like about this is stability. How long since we've only had two changes? Having said that, there are a couple of blokes playing with serious question marks stamped on their foreheads.

Dear Kenny. No matter how many times you change your name, your ignorance bubbles to the surface. In an earlier thread (I’ll find it if need be) you criticised a poster for poor English – a dangerous precedent. Please, for the edification of all, and to add to our knowledge of the language, explain why you inserted an apostrophe in Roos.

Without doubt your best post. Carry on.

How shittey is my life? I support both the MFC and the ALP.

If nothing else the vast majority of D'landers are fair minded sports followers who,I'm certain, are extremely upset and sympathetic at the possibility of unwittingly abused Essendon players being suspended, losing points, copping fines etc. And all would be totally distraught at the possibility of Jobe having his Brownlow win revoked.. Yeah sure. HA HA HA!

I'm afraid the Spring Carnival wont be the same if it clashes with the Alpaca show. Get with the strength. That phrase conjujres up images that even Biffen would blanch at. I imagine there will be a few organ players already on hand.

Good work. The only problem with multiple vehicles is that Lordweaver won't be able to lead prayers on root (as it were). Maybe we could all have a service at Wattle Park beforehand? Anyway, we can sleep on the finer details.

Like your thinking DC but a convey of 4WD's would be preferable to a common bus. Hummers if possible. Althiough I'm not sure they'd have the wheelchair access that some D'landers would require.

Yes. Can do the drizabone - although the "lads" have been sleeping on it. You will need to find a suitably weather beaten akubra but I'm glad you're prepared to make an effort. BTW. Don't let it slip you're from Borwood.

As OD is aware I'm heading overseas on Sunday. So I'm just going to leave this little prewarning note for all to consider and put in the diary. "Bendigo has been chosen to host the prestigious 2013 Australian Alpaca Association (AAA) National Show & Sale at the Bendigo Exhibition Centre from October 10 to -13, 2013" Details will be online. However, this is an ideal opportunity for many of the uncouth types who post on Demonland to mix in refined company and (possibly) gain some couthness. DC take note - you need it. Stuie , you won't get past the gate. Lordweaver perhaps a psalm or two may help. Moon - no hope. Song - don't admit to being a teacher. OD, perhaps if WYL wheels you in you may get a concession entry. Redleg - bananas will do you no good. WJ - I'll get you a free pass if you exempt me from Biffen's fate at the Gatwick next time I insult someone. I haven't got all night so I hope the rest of you get the "vibe" of how prestigious and selective this event is, compare yourself to the group above, and decide whether or not you are worhty participants. BTW. As for the loon from WA. Bribery is your only (very faint) hope. No forget it, stay home and don't embarrass yourself.

Yet another example of our pizzweak club. Most posters appear to agree that Spencer should cop a stretch - fair enough. But how could Spencer being unco/clumsy be compared to a deliberate and malicious whack behind play. Just imagine the scenario if it was Collingwood player named Spencer. Eddie would be screaming about the injustice of it all and have it on the front page. Not at Melbourne. That squealing little [censored] Harvey got more publicity for being "pinched". FMD. How pizz weak is that? We are a Pizz weak club who will not even defend our players adequately.

I cannot believe this kid gets a shitcanning. I saw him at training in the preseason and he looked a likely kid, albeit small. Therefore a logical position is to give him some time at Casey and see how he goes. He is still akid FFS.

You may be correct Gorg. If for no other reason than Jab's disclosure has opened a tanker full of worms and no one knows just how to handle it. Fat Andrew must be soiling his undies now because another shitfight has erupted on his watch.

Loved Spencer today. Best big man effort I've seen at Melbourne for about 3 years.

Read post 22. I will devote no further energy to you.

Jackson is a clever operator - no doubt. I just hope that we, the paying members, are kept honestly and openly informed of what is going on.

Education,manners,common sense......?

Yeah - maybe a moderate punt.

I'm going with a big mouth Saints supporting mate. I would hate to both freeze my b---s off and end up in a punch on with the mouth. So, I'm hoping for a big win.

I've said many times that demonland is a sort of bizzaro world alternative universe. Just look at the lunatics who post here - they have to be the fantasy creations of a drug destroyed mind. In the real world Melbourne is undefeated this season and our 15 players in the top 100 are all tracking well. Jack Watts is an early favorite for both the Coleman and the Brownlow. He and Dawes will fight out the former. Our 17th flag is considered a near certainty and Collingwood coach Neeld finds himself under extreme pressure.

I’m guessing this is your attempt at a witty retort. I have to say it failed rather badly. (Pathetically?) Your “word of the month” comment is just plain silly. I used “petulant" because it summed up the tone of your posts. You’ll need to improve dramatically if your attempts at repartee/debate or even providing an opinion on a topic are to be taken seriously.

You criticise Fork for being overlong in his post yet you follow up with a litany of petulant posts . Perhaps more 'landers haven't posted because you have taken over the thread with your repititions ?

Just leave it at that.

Thanks song. I'll cut and paste your response and finish my reports.

Vels level please.
