Bitter but optimistic

As he gets older make sure he has his own easy chair   
I have had this chair nearly 50 years and 3 faithful mates have called it their spot

Mine too.

The Eagles played out of their skins - no doubt about that. That is common when a lesser ranked/younger/inexperienced team plays a contender.

Sadly , we could not lift  to match that effort.

We are kidding ourselves.  We are not contenders.

No need to panic folks.

We will win this by 20 - 26 points 

[censored] !!!! That Reid kid can play !!

De Gooey for the post game interview.

That is an instant emetic right there.

Up there with holding the ball. Have both been removed secretly from the rule book, or the umps deciding on these as "focus rules of the week"?

[censored] if I know Maldon but there has been a couple of blatant ITB's that haven't even been commented on.

I am announcing that push in the back is officially dead and buried

Gold Coast getting a good run from the umps but the [censored] are taking their chances

Good game so far.

Just a lil reminder that we are all part of the best Club in the league. 🥰

We’re the only AFL club whose cheer squad has put together a Sleep at the ‘G team, albeit a small one. It’s on tonight and this year we’ve assembled a uniform of sorts. We all bought matching PJ pants…

Teamed with various Demons T-shirts and headwear we’re sure to look positively fetching 😅

And these are my “slippers”…

🥳❤️💙

A bunch of rough old sheilas in matching Jammies ! 

I'm swooning !!!!

Do they do a Devonshire Tea there?

I think dc's visits to that worthy establishment have a more carnivorous intent Red!

*ballyshanassy

thanks, uncle. always knew we could count on your manorial generosity. we want more than just a rename but, we want a un observer recognition acknowledging our unique culture.

did you know that ballyshanassy is a local aboriginal word meaning "meeting place"?

Thank you for that gem of cultural insight dc.

And ... speaking of sacred sites. I note that your old hunting ground, the Borewood Tennis Club, is now in Glen Iris!!

That must cut an old Borewoodian rather painfully .

Interesting article in this morning's Age. 

I am now nominating our own dc to mount a campaign to have Borewood renamed Ballyshannassy.

I'll chip in 20 cents.

Is that your spot on the floor?

Under certain circumstances - it can happen!

How can you get 5 weeks for a slur but the wet lettuce leaf slap for belting a guy?

You will have to share with the Manor’s ever alert attack dogs

Do you want me to pick you up on the way to Uncle Bitters' Manor, to enjoy his wine cask?

We could have some fun feeding some of the Manor rats to the piranha in the moat.

Then we can watch the Dees belt the Blues on the old black and white 26" tele in the lounge.

The Manor's theatre is quite sophisticated Red and includes special service from my domestic staff.

You , of course, would not be allowed into that sanctum. However, there is a decent telly in the barn.

To you and RaulRB, I am neither a Democrat nor Republican supporter and told friends many times, that I didn't know who was worse, Biden or Trump.

Tbh I have learned over the years that political arguments rarely have winners.

I made the mistake of posting on the matter and I will end my involvement here, as this thread is far better and hopefully more entertaining than the way it is starting to head.

I am off to the Manor, to join Uncle Bitters in some of his delicious latest wine cask, "chateau moat circa 2024".

Admittance is only gained by "kicking the door " Red!

big assumption in there, uncle 😮

Quite so dc , however, I believe (perhaps naively) that our system/politics  does not embrace anything like the level of corruption that appears endemic to the septic tank system.

When you look at the corrupt [censored] up that is American politics, we should never ever complain about the Westminster system.
