Bitter but optimistic

Yes indeed Stiffy ...vale Barry - brilliant man.

There needs to be mercy rule for viewers DD!

..... or something.

If Cameron is kicking them like that........... I'm calling this game now.

Thecommentators just talked about Hawkins "signature move" Two hands in the back at a throw in. FMD!

I went there with Moonshadow a few years ago (Jack Watts was still with us) to see us flogged by GWS. One of the coldest/windiest days I've experienced .... anywhere. Brass Monkeys were calling for oxy torches.

You show excellent taste Deemania and obviously understand the laws governing the status of the riff raff. You would be a fine citizen of Romsey.

His/her ankle bracelet might trip the security scanner!

The Bont - terrific footballer.

Daniel ducked

My Sportsbet account would be much happier if the dogs could kick straight !

Geez Darcy is a big bastard!

Hahah ! I'm hoping to get some back tonight - I've loaded up on the Bullflogs !

Where's the smart money tonight @DubDee?

You're too modest picket! "Visionary Scribe " - could only be you! Batemans Bay - here you come!!

He's had a crack before Dazzle - he just seems a little below AFL nowadays.

"I had a vision last night " An alcohol induced hallucination I'm guessing picket.

If he's not %100, he's one bloke who must be rested. He cops a hammering every game, so you'd think a week off would be beneficial. He would be a huge loss, but FMD, if we can't beat the undermanned tiggers without him we're kidding ourselves about being serious contenders.

I realise there is a thing called match hardness that comes through playing. However, if he has been chosen to play against Richmond, I assume the "build up" has beed carried out during rehab/training. Anyway Red, we'll find out over the next week or so!

I realise it's 5 days. In the normal course of events, Max doesn't take breaks. If he is 100% fit to play against Richmond, then I see no reason why he wouldn't play against Norf. The exception being how he comes up after the Richmond game. @rpfc For some reason, I couldn't quote your comment

Yeah, now I get it Jaded. I haven't been scrupulous in reading the training reports this week and didn't realise there was something of a question about Viney's fitness.

You must have read Biggles or the Famous Five as a kid Steve

Disagree Red. If Max plays against Richmond, and gets through it ok, why wouldn't he play against norf ?

FMD Jaded, you're definitely a glass half empty gal when it comes to the MFC!

Some years ago I was having a drink at a bar in The Castro district of San Francisco . Interesting place. I'm relieved the merits of "Fists of Fury" didn't come up in the discussion.
