Red and Bluebeard

True, but given the amount of awful footy that I have witnessed, it is always better to win with awful footy than to be beaten by less than a kick having played great footy. Anyway, back to bananas ...

Gotta savour what you can get when you can get it, OD!

There is no such thing as a bad win, especially over the Hawks!

Limitations don't apply to this thread. Evidence: 8 years worth of posts and more than 2^10 pages ...

I watched the first quarter with the sound on, which is about a quarter more than usual, and then turned the sound off until the last couple of minutes. Much better way to watch the footy than to listen to the inane prattle that passes for commentary.

Moses going to part the red-and-blue sea and lead us to the Promised Land? I like it, BB ... ??

More than Jesse Hogan? (who?)

It was Gough yelling in response to a member of then then Country Party, probably Doug Anthony, IIRC.

Which thread is that? I know of no such thread on Demonland ... And who is that guy anyway? ?

Much better than cheap tea. But not in the same league as marsala tea.

Is typing like tai chi?

No -- you would use a pick on a Pom and a puck on a Kiwi ...

Does our third puck have to be used on a player from New Zealand? ?

Pulp Creek has a certain ring to it ...

Don't worry --- the rest of us don't have a clue either. We just don't let that get to us ?

Rest in peace. Gone far too soon. Shocking to hear. So sad for those close to him. It is at moments like these when I realise the truth of the saying "Never complain about growing old. Not everyone gets the chance".

So we pass the first millenium, despite the despairing Hemingway. The quality of this thread is not strained, nor can it be measured by simple statistical means. The volume drops off when we are successful, and surges when we are not, following a well-worn cycle of triumph and tears. Ever will it be so!

So what did you do? ?

Some things don't change, and should stand for all time, in the tradition of "Richard Hadlee is still a [censored]!" In other words, let us continue not mentioning that player ...

Sounds like the preliminary final ...

Yes. No. Not sure what is going on. None of that is unusual ?

Yeah ... we are f....d ?

I think it is more like "Trade week has nothing to offer but blood, sweat, toil and [censored], and seems to go on forever"

Sorry to be a pedant, but it is not a square in the first place, so you couldn't abolish it ?"Goal rectangle" is presumably too much of a mouthful (let alone geometry) for Bwuce & co ... Personally I am sorry to see the kick to oneself go.

"No third place for you this week, mate ... " ?
