Bitter but optimistic

Naming storms and the like after people always seems a little odd to me.

Do we do it for earthquakes or wars?

Even stranger is people who discover diseases and then name it after themselves. What a nice way to be remembered.

 

 

I understand Dr. Alzheimer forgot what his award was for.

That's news to me. I recall Flower being moved to half back by Barassi but can't remember him ever playing FB.

Started the game at full back on Malcolm Blight - if my memory can be trusted!

According to another person on here it’s a 3-hour flight. In reality it’s three hours and 45 minutes. 👍🏽

Well .... you must  remember that daylight saving makes a difference !!

Could somebody please let Picket Fence know that they’re training at Casey tomorrow morning at 9:30am. I’d tell him myself except he’s now got me on ignore. 😁

A full mailbox is a more likely explanation.

Not sure entirely it was desperate times. 

You're never going to get a like for like for Jackson.

Literally just needed a back up ruck that can be physically competitive when needed. Fullarton is more a 200cm forward flanker.

Excellent description dazzle. JVR is now doing just this  and is improving every week. You don't have to win the tap out but apply physical pressure so that the oppo ruck can't give his mids an armchair ride.

(JVR will be sorely missed today)

I took a leisurely drive to the game in Alice last year. What a shock and [censored] show that turned out to be!

This year, I am firmly ensconced at The Manor for what I expect to be a tough and close struggle.

Max will simply have to be more superhuman than ever as he is facing a two on one against a couple of serious players. As a team, a slow start must be avoided and we will need to take all our chances inside 50.  Fritta is always reliable but we will need contributions from McAdam and Petty.

Our defence will be the difference.

Dees by 13 points.

Dermie wears more foundation than any woman I know. 

I had to turn the tv for the half time break. Dermie is unwatchable !!!

He was a terrific footballer but an intellectual he aint.

Has it been explained why Tiges r in black shorts and Cats r in white?

I've also been perplexing over this Tim.

[censored] !!! We really surrendered 4 vital points against that mob.

[censored] !!! again. What a waste.

How can a player wave a doctor off ?

That is bull [censored].

It makes a joke of concussion protocols.

The kid Reid is a terrific player - no doubt. 

However, his lack of experience is showing out in this game.

I reckon he can expect a hard tag for the rest of the season.

The AFL will ensure Reid does not cop a suspension. 

It will be interesting Ethan . In my view it was a dead set sling. 

If he gets off, the system is even more corrupt than we already think.

Ugle- Hagan was " in a contest on his own ". AnotherBT classic.

The filth are getting a decent run from the umps! [censored] !

Why wasn't that dissent against Sidebottom?

The dog flattened. Beautiful to watch ...... sadly, he got up.

What is "reasonable time" ?

I'm [censored] if I know what Cox actually gives them anyway.

That's more like it !!

We were a bit scrappy early but  a burst of class in the 3rd quarter did the business . After that, apart from a couple of disappointing junk time goals, we smashed them.

PS . You will never see a better ruckman than Max Gawn !

PPS. That new player, Thommo I think his name is, did ok too.
