Lucifers Hero

I do! He is next on my list. Along with walking the 'Street Art Trail'.

Exhibition was next level awesome! Love how he juxtaposes images to make the viewer smile, laugh, ponder or be shocked.

Incorrigible !!!!!!!!

I'm a peaceful negotiator...well most of the time!

Thank you. Glasgow is new for me so seeking out its quirky spots. And its the easiest way to get to the wedding in Ayrshire. For a decent whisky you may need to visit Scotland!🙂

Haha, youve had lots of appreciative plaudits from posters. 😀 'As for 'Jetsetting'. It is very unglamorous when a booking stuff up with time zones/dates results in missing an overnight stopover thus 40+ hours en route from my home to hotel in Glasgow. Then add lost luggage...which thankfully arrived a day later... ...as for icy Melb, midsummer Glasgow is damp and overcast just like midwinter Melb. On the bright side off to a Banksy exhibition shortly. I'm guessing most d'landers will need google for that one! Then shall enjoy travelling around Scotland for 3 weeks including a special young man's wedding, followed by a few days in Amsterdam.

LOL!! it isn't even noon here! ....um...why should i be giving the shiraz... ....I graciously complimented him on his fine work...surely that is enough... Btw...compliments that are yet to be acknowledge...surely a reason for the shiraz to come to me, no?

I assume you mean a fine shiraz from The Manor's cellar to my good self, yeah?

Yeah, just saw that his op has 32 +'ve reactions which i suppose is a reasonable tally; for a sub... ...i suspect he is feeling most pleased with himself... LOL! Given last week's loud protests to volunteer for this gig, i was shocked, shocked to see it was @Bitter but optimisticwho started the thread!! Some negotiations may need to be had when i return...🙃

A very impressive debut! To return your compliments on these threads: love your work!

This is the bf thread from which the op was taken. round-20-v-melbourne. Starting at page 3, for those who would like to amuse themselves or update this thread in the coming days.

It is the worst I've come across by some margin...and the op was just from the first two pages!!

No effort at all involved - just a few taps of the keyboard and mouse! All from the comfort of an armchair... ...I'm sure D'landers would appreciate it....

A well earned holiday even if I do say so myself! ...um..you could volunteer to undertake said duty...🙂

I’m taking an overseas holiday so this is my last ‘WTAS@...’ . Will leave it up to other posters to prepare them while I’m away and if they wish, continue with them thereafter. Stay well, D’Landers!

A mixed bag of views. Quite bland really. With Melbourne's strong defence, I'd rest Jack and bring in the more nimble Cumberlland. We look so good when we play with pace. We're ****ed against the Dees next week if we don't find another tall in a hurry to keep Lever and May occupied. We have nothing to lose next week. If anyone is going to do some pumping it’s the Tiger Army against them Feckless Felchers! Does that faux tough guy lever still have that stupid Moe?? Well you DO sound like you’re whinging and nobody asked you to come on to the Richmond board and give your opinions. So go away. (To a Hawks fan). Beat Shemans next week and the lid is off, imagine if we had lynch for most of the season… shemans will rush in cocaine oliver and beavis fricstch next week for their grand final Anyone else find it weird that Hardwick couldn’t win a close game and Mini can’t lose one? Watched melb win by 4p v crows today , didn’t look unbeatable to me We'll smash them if we turn up. Big IF though You should post more often , 100% pure sense , rare around here We are a chance...Big boys game...Mini attack! Free kicks 21 - 12 for Rabbleborne against Addaraid, I'm a going to stay under the biggest rock i can find game day! Miller and Jack to sacrifice themselves on May and Lever while we run, gun and lower our eyes entering 50. Only way to beat Melbourne without Lynch game plan- we bomb it in we lose. give may and Lever a field day. be smart and bring in another tall option we wont win this…we are shemans grand final I'd like for us to take a scalp like Melbourne just to show we might not just be making up the numbers come September. Melbourne by 8 goals as we were horrible against Hawks and Eagles. Can't see us beating the Dees. Can't see us getting within 24 points for that matter. Lots of favourites this week: 1. Does that faux tough guy lever still have that stupid Moe?? 2. About Kane Cornes No wonder he failed as a fireman. Prefers to start fires rather than put them out. 3. A passing reference to our record 186pt loss, perhaps... Outs - mansell, kmac, Cotchin, miller Ins - Cumberland, Browne, sonsie, Ryan We will loose by 186 if we make those changes 4.. This comment: Well loose triggered these responses We are in big trouble. We'll smash the dees. We will win You win some you loose some Any pedants out there😉? Quite a few references to the contemptuous 'shemans' for our beloved demons...hope we thrash them in a bruising game. More likely a win by the Dees by a 3-4 goals

Updated for Jefferson's two year extension

In doing these threads I've found every club complains about the umpires. ...Even Bulldogs supporters complain...go figure...even when they win the free kick count by some margin...

Relatively measured responses. Selections from the early pages: good: top 6 pick Ugly:The green [censored] giving Melbourne free goals 6.13 at three quarter time. Bad kicking is bad football Play away, look like s**t for periods, play like millionaires for parts, either get in front early and choke, or come from behind and still fall short. Sick of it. I thought we'd get smacked today. That game sums us up really - poor at the crunch (when it counts), pretty good when not expected to be/allowed to be, ultimately not good enough. Season ended this time two weeks ago - play the kids. Although we lost and had shocking accuracy. We didn’t give up and fought to the death. That’s something to be proud of. We’ve lost by under a goal to Pies and Dees at the G. Umpiring. F me. They throw..., the most simple open blatant obvious holding the balls, no whistle…, they call the block on Sloane…, that 50m penalty with the late whistle and crouch played on straight away was extremely harsh. Which moron didn't pick Nankervis until now? There is absolutely no way that Poort Pear can win a GF against a Melbourne team with those umpires. They have to pray for a Brisbane Pear GF. I just love Tex. Deserves a premiership for the way he goes about it. He’s our Buckley. Legend with nothing to show for it. Been the same story most of the year. We've got as much guts, heart, grit, whatever you want to call it as you could hope for from any team. But my god we lack class and polish. A lot more good than bad. Viney’s free kick that was paid against Worrell is just about the worst free kick ever paid. s**t mids always making it hard for our forwards.. although our forwards shouldve converted their chances. Finals are done. Get games into the future and let's finally get a decent mid in the draft. Midfield did okay today but not the future of the club. Bare in mind they played Petracca mostly forward and as soon as he went in there late he won it and set up Gawn for the sealer. My favourites: AI umpiring can't come quick enough. Get the cheats out of the game. I really appreciate your commentary on the couple of minutes you bothered to watch. When we were 30+ pts up I thought my prediction of about 40pts would be on the money. Not to be. They fought it out very well. We got the 4pts, consolidated 4th spot on the ladder, have ND4 in the bag so all in all a successful weekend!!

I checked again today...up to page 36 then and not a single additional post about the game...just navel gazing about their selections and list. Oh, and how bad the coach is. Maybe they will wake up when they see their 'Game Day' thread tomorrow.. I don't think I'll bother checking.

Thanks for changing the title.

As the Pregame thread is locked this might be a place to make game related posts for the next few hours. Hopefully @Demonland doesn't mind. I'll change the title

Its a shame I don't bet...😉 (except The Melbourne Cup)

When I saw the thread title and the 'Uncle Bitter' avatar I fully expected a quip saying that 'dry...(any month) ...' is too ridiculous to contemplate and any day is a good day for a 🍷! 😉

Andy, this is as close as they came to acknowledging the inevitable! Think we will lose by 40 points. I was going to go on Sunday, but genuinely hope we get pumped by 100. * this club. If we go down the path I think we are going to - in terms of selections, then I hope we get flogged. I hope we get badly exposed and questions are asked. The 40pt loss sounds about right.
