Bitter but optimistic

As long as we don't get a little [censored] like Milne.

Oh for the days when I could read Alf Brown's Friday night preview of the main game in the Herald. He was a great footy writer. Also of course, Melbourne often featured in those articles.

I hate to cast a cloud over a generally positive thread (that's my bitter half) but does it not worry anyone that, despite one of the best injury free starts to a season ( and therefore fielding almost best sides) that we have copped three massive floggings?

Tappy has limitations - no doubt. However, if we are ever going to finally Kill the "bruise free" reputation, then we need heart and attitude transplants to a couple of our prima donas.

No doubt he is "sensible to wait". The problem is,however, if the review is shockingly damming, who is likely to want the poisoned chalice?

The last Messiah with the skills needed to sort this place ended up having a terrible Easter. I'm not sure who can right the ship now but, I can tell you, I am dead set sick of the MFC being the butt of every shitty joke going around, or, worse still, being the recipient of patronizing sympathy.

I would reckon their mothers should get the credit for this.

Stand those two shoulder to shoulder and there's not much room left on thr forward line..

Getting the Shiraz out of the cellar is my greatest concern.

Yep. Nothing beats self interest in a time of disaster!

I just read an article from a couple of weeks ago that claimed, as a result of global warming and rising sea levels, Elwood is likely to disappear. Just wondering what doomsday preparations WYL is making.

I'm no expert but isn't smacking your wife one called foreplay?

See what happens when you let sheilas out of the kitchen.

Then WTF did you bother?

Ra! Ra! For all those at the members' end.

Time for a reality check Biffo. You are in denial - too many nights at the Gatwick. Man up! Take the public health option and hope for the best.

Even I have never called you "gormless" Stuie. It is a beautiful adjective. I await your response with interest. God (who I don't believe in) I love Dland at times

By our apparent accepting of mediocrity we demonstrate a sub standard culture that clearly lacks any degree of corporate governance.

Garland had what John Northey used to call a RHG.

Guts points to Tappy for backing up and taking that mark. He deserved a goal. If only Jack Watts had that guts.

Dead set correct!

I don't know the stats but did Max Gawn take more marks today than Jamar has all season?

I heard on the news today that there is funding for a new mental health facility in the western suburbs.

Christ I'm agreeing with both you andBen Hur in one night. What ARE we to make of today?

I've defended Jack on this site for about three years. I hate to post a negative after a rare win BUT Jack was a disgrace. He actually " put in the short steps". I now must agree with Ben Hur ( God help me) Jack is soft.
