Bitter but optimistic

Fox just reported that Essendrug will pay out Rutten's full 600K plus 600k in "football taxes" (But I have no idea what that means)

Jeez, those Tigger's jumpers look like something you'd hand out to an under 12's or Auskick team.

I never need a reason to get hammered D'stone ........ nonetheless you make an excellent point.

I wish they were carrying him off on a stretcher rather than their shoulders!

Every second word of the commentary was "Danger" or "Dangerfield". [censored] me! I nearly regurgitated a decent shiraz!

Looks like Clarrie has the prestigious Demonland player of the year award tied up. Hopefully he will also take out The Brownlow as a secondary offering.

Thank you Neil. However, I am rather hurt that it took until the second page of the thread for my modest good self to be nominated.

Well I certainly can't RTG - I'm still Shiraz [censored] from last night.

Looks like freo will fall in.

Back to back it in !!!!!!!

Brisbane are our [censored] ! female dogs

They have been exposed - pretenders.

You got the idea fork!

Indeed Bombay - the question is how unwisely I'll spend it!

Close enough Earl

We are giving them a jolly good [censored] !!!

Off topic question My pm or message facility has disappeared. Is this happening across Demonland?

I'm an armchair supporter tonight picket and past experience has taught me to pace myself in the lead up to these late starts. I'm confident though that you'll be well [censored] as usual by the first bounce!

Good point dc - I just checked bumber blitz - nothing there.

What can possibly be gained by this? Sacking the day before what would have been his last game. Surely by letting him coach the last game and allowing him to exit with some grace would have restored a little dignity to a disgraceful episode ?

In either case he must be a total dimwit!

Disagree, it's a good move for Norf - it can only help them! And .... it's even better because it added to the shambolic [censored] up that is Essendon.

What a wonderful week it's been! It started last Saturday when we were given the unmitigated pleasure of watching smug and confident Carlton supporters reduced to whimpering despair. It continued with week long viewing of the soap opera provided by Essendrug's pathetic implosion ......but .... the finale will be provided tonight, when the Dees start their relentless march toward BACK to BACK! You can back it in!

My wallet is doing the talking this week. I've loaded up on the Dees and am confident of a happy ending tonight.

Pedanticness is an accurate expression of my meaning
