Bitter but optimistic

I have just returned to The Manor after watching my first training session in about 2 years. I followed that up with a pleasant luncheon at The Duke along with a currently expelled Demonlander. Just a couple of observations. Tmac. In rehab but geez I reckon he’s shed a few kegs. Clarrie. Also looked in terrific condition and moved really smartly in both match sims and other drills. I reckon he’s back ! JVR. Was very clean with his hands. Admittedly he wasn’t under real pressure but I’m hoping he’s developing into a one grab man. Was also moving very well and exuded confidence in everything he was doing. Big year coming up? Trac. Looked ripped as ever and, perhaps more importantly, looked at ease with the world. Tom Campbell. First time I’ve seen this bloke. He’s a big bastard. Looks a real head beater! Harvey Langford. Saw him do a bit. He seems very comfortable in the group and demonstrated good kicking skills. He will be a good size when he adds a bit of upper body muscle. PS. I was going to buy a snag but there was a rough looking sheila behind the till. I reckon she was carrying a shiv so I kept my distance.

Who said this ?

Agree totally Red! For an experienced veteran ( and a bloke I'd previously considered a sportsman ) Kohl's exchange with a young first gamer was [censored] weak. Note. the replays clearly show that Konstas was walking his own line and minding his own business when Kohli bumped into him

arhhhh I've often wondered if e e cummings was your muse dc

Please refrain from such slurs Red.

I am very proud of my contributions to the "seedy" aspect of Demonland's reputation.

Geez he's a solidly built lad. Big forearms, generally signifies strength.

Very perceptive Tim! My in depth cultural studies have provided me with a number of ideas ( albeit some rather abstract ) that I will expect my domestic aides to implement with vigour and enthusiasm.

I've just completed a cultural tour of Thailand and will be returning to The Manor tomorrow. I expect I will receive a warm welcome from the good citizens of Romsey.

I am very well thank you Frog. I am sitting by The Manor’s pond encouraging the cat to stalk and devour some of your cousins!

Have you been hibernating Frog ?

I like what AMW has shown so far. I reckon with improved fitness and confidence he’ll develop into a gun player !

No self respecting Yowie would mate with you picket !!!!

Clarrie may not be the most articulate Demon but the overall thrust of the article is positive and that is terrific news !!!!

Considering the physical trauma he went through - he looks in unbelievable condition.

That's not an MFC top he's wearing !!!! He's gone !

From reading your posts over the years Ethan, I am confident in saying your issues run far deeper than " two actual phobias" .

If we haven't got sufficient nous, talent or people skills within the administration, football department ..... or whatever the [censored], to retain a player of Oliver's calibre then the MFC is a totally irrelevant and [censored] up organisation.

Geez he was a terrific footballer. I seem to recollect we tried to get him as a player a few years ago, or is my memory totally shiraz shocked? I don't know about his coaching credentials but he'd certainly bring a lot of nous and experience.

It's a show I often watch . Robbo ( aka a name that that starts with S and ends with o but is censored on this site ) is an illiterate dunce. It was always more enjoyable when The Chief or Jordan Lewis or the part time dunny cleaner filled in for him. No loss.

I've been on Demonland 13/14 years - minus a number of bannings. Many of my posts have been schoolboy smut ( but quality schoolboy smut ). A number of my posts have been blatant and intentional insults. But ..... some of the [censored] on this thread makes me look like a rank amateur . [censored] me ..... I'm reading and learning - I'll bounce back.

Good heavens !!!! This thread is becoming quite vulgar !

I was half right .

Thanks for calling upon my expertise Goffy, however, in this instance I can be of scant assistance. You might note though, that in a quite controversial story about a fellow named Portnoy, the eponymous hero performed a rather nasty act on the family dinner. I will leave further investigation in your hands.

I'm tipping a blowout. Swans by 40+ !
