Bitter but optimistic

At the moment, I am planning to hook up The Manor's glampervan and drive to Alice for the game. However, if Melbourne's weather is really depressing around that time , I may watch the game from Thailand - possibly in the company of The mayor of Bangkok @Sir Why You Little! A question though. If I do go to Alice, can I simply produce my membership card to gain admission, or must I make some sort of booking?

Fritsch out mmmmm! I’d like to know just what his injury is.

Please don't donate your empty booze bottles picket - you'd fill the place up.

Pah !!! I can do that with a golf ball. Without trying.

Good on him -he's put his hand up. He just has to keep doing that and hope for an opportunity.

I was only a little kid so I only really remember (sadly) the result. However, I believe there was some strange issue regarding player numbers in that game. ( I don't remember where/why that memory popped up though )

I'm surprised anyone is on Demonland ! ............ I mean , "Geelong the greatest team of all ", is currently showing on Fox !!!

What amazes me about these types of rankings is that Fritsh never gets a mention. FMD! Do they think he flukes 50 goals a year.

I don't reckon Im going out on a limb here but geez I like the look of Sparrow. He appears to have developed/matured and I'm tipping a monster season from him.

Yep, neck and neck battle for chief [censored].

Lynch has to be permanently listed in the [censored] category surely . Never been able to stand him.

"patting' myself ! Patting myself !!!! I had to calm myself with several glasses of shiraz. Redleg's debauched comments about what I should do with my person gave me a serious attack of the vapours . I'm still reeling.

Yep a quaffer.

We certainly don't want this thread taken off topic Tim.

Meaning?

Love it !!!!!

I think you went early Red.

Very good Demonstone. Very good indeed.

Sadly, stocks are low at the moment El !!!

Good call Jack!! Penfolds make a couple of decent plonks.

I'd be very surprised if any club took up this offer. Crown has been exposed for its shonky practices. Associating your name with them would certainly tarnish the family and inclusive image footy is trying to promote and, further, possibly risk other sponsorships.

There are career opportunities at The Manor for "servers".

Thanks Ethan, a number of interesting and important issues here. However, I shall make no comment because I cannot stand Rita Panahi - a sanctimonious, headline hunting, self righteous excuse for a journalist whose carping adds little to any serious debate and whose sole raison d'être appears to be promulgating the views of her political masters.

Red,I am sure you will be pleased to know that Manorial finances are quite buoyant at the moment. ( Cutting staff wages always helps) A story. Some years ago I had giant pitbull ( who lived a long happy and eventful life) who demonstrated his dislike of electricity salesman in , shall be we say a very strident manner. The word must have spread, as subsequently, I have very few touts knocking on my door. The meter readers are quite safe as they use some sort of advanced technology to complete their business from afar.
