Bitter but optimistic

we are playing [censored] !!!

Correct Steve . Any night game is a danger to pisspots . Timing and pacing is critical !

I'd give Weid a pass if he kicks 5 Steve.

Just completed a day's hard labour at The Manor. So a quick post while the maid finalises my Zoutzoukakia. ( I instructed her to withhold the cumin as it ruins a decent red) Re footy. Goal kickers will be the key tonight. Can Weid back it up? Will Tmac find some form under pressure? A bag from Fitta would be handy. However, it may be the big boys who deliver the coup de grace . Port don't match us in the ruck department, so don't be surprised if Jacko and Max do some damage sneaking forward. Dees easily if we kick straight.

An ugly image has just implanted on my brain ( or what remains of it ). No amount of shiraz will give me rest. Feel guilty Jaded!

Maybe because it was all tv viewing last year ( and getting the close up) but I was astounded by the amount of whacks to the head Max received in a number of games. They are clearly high contact but most times no free kick. I just don't understand how this continually occurs without penalty.

Neat explanation. @daisycutter, you can shove your pet rocks up your [censored]!

It's time to get off the shiraz picket

Well ....... err thanks Luci ........ I think. Well to be honest, I still have NFI ......... but thanks for trying.

I'm really disappointed to see BBB out. The pressure is now on Weid to back up his performance from last week and thereby cement his place in the side for a while. The pressure is also on Tmac to perform. I had him listed as an out if BBB was available. On the other hand great to see the Romsey boy back.,

Haha! I think I might have a few worse skeletons than that Binman!!!!

Mmmmmm ...... I got it wrong. What's the story with Smith?

Could someone please explain ( in terms you would use to a complete dodo) what the [censored] this thread is all about.

55K + members is a major and noteworthy milestone!

This has been a really interesting selection discussion. Now I'm eager to have my curiosity satisfied. Can someone tell me - is the team announced tonight?

Thank you gentlemen. Very comprehensive information. Sounds like we've got another gun waiting in the wings

Serious question Ernie. I've never actually seen this kid but there has been a lot of talk about him ( including by @picket fence in some of his pre season reports). I'm looking for a current update.

Been some 'land chat this week about Jacob Van Rooyen picket. Is he anywhere near ready in your view?

FMD picket ! One of us needs to get off the vino!

Thanks again picket ! Just a question. Jake Spencer?

If BBB is cleared to go , I just can't see any valid reason for not him playing. The Tmac decision will simply have to made.

Couldn't overly GAF about the first two Dub .......... but Essendon..... that is a thing of beauty.

It was the perfect fit RTG. There were actually Gasometers overlooking the ground in those days. And .....if my shiraz addled brain is correct the nickname was coined by the late ( and great) Louey the lip!

There was a bloke back in the 70's Dub. The "Galloping Gasometer".

Bass Straiters ?
