At least the crowds at the games/aftermatch/AGM's will be fewer and I'll get to the bar quicker ("Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" - Monty Python - Life Of Brian). |
You forget the main issue!!!!!!
Light f@#$King beer!
What a joke.
I refuse to buy this crap.
And do you think the corporate's in their boxes are drinking light beer?
NOOOOOOoooo!
Nothing like being a peasant.

So it's beer!
We have often wondered what those people on the other side of the glass were drinking out of those plastic cups.
At least those people can watch the game in peace. They don't have the constant interruptions, such as being asked if the steak is cooked exactly as it was requested, or if another refill is required, or if the room temperature requires adjusting.
Sometimes for a laugh we slide the glass open. Just so those people can smell the food and hear the glasses clinking.We don't leave the glass open for too long though. It becomes quite tiresome having to talk about our stock tips in such low voices.

From popular culture
Lemmings have become the subject of a widely popular conjecture that they commit mass suicide when they migrate by jumping off cliffs.
We know that that is not true but it sums us up. |
If you watch on Google and youtube; it was actually the Disney documentary filmmakers hurling those lemmings off the cliff. It wasn't exactly a Jim Jones type mass suicide; the lemmings did not drink the cool-aid!
A very dark and long covered up moment in Disney's past...

Yes 5 from the wing on debut.
But you won't see me drinking from those plastic cups.
I sneak in a bottle of whiskey and some coke just to spite the bastards.
Strange thing is... That is the only time where I drink alcohol that isn't beer.

Didn't know that about disney.
So a quick search of youtube came with this.

Certainly shows Disney is not as pure as Bux.

I listened to Ross Lyon today re Benell. They slapped him with a fine. Media were asking this that and the other, Lyon said it's a club issue, we've death with it, move on. No pressure to take more action etc. Lyon has Mongrel presence. Doesn't care what anyone thinks. Single minded. Turns things quicky. Total asshole. Not trying to be mates with the media or anyone. Total opposite of Bucks who.probably would have sacked Benell.
We need a Mongrel like Lyon.

Not sure what crime Bennell really committed m storm in a teacup, Lyon took a GF team to where in a few years, Left St Kilda a broken mess. A man who persisted with Zac Dawson despite his embarassing football prowess and stupid behaviour. Now he is dropped they start winning. The gear in China must be netter than I was told it was.

Lyon went awfully close to winning two flags at a club that has only won 1 in 100+ years.
He took Fremantle to there first ever grand final.
Fremantle had a poor 2016 and looked headed more another after the first 2 rounds but they took a chance on the kids and have now won 5 of the last 6.
About the only criticism of Lyon over the years is that he's been reluctant to play the kids but he had his team in contention for many of those seasons and it's understandable he looked to maximise the potential of the present than look to far ahead.
