    Yes he was, but was he that big??

    I think so, you can see definition in his arms from the top of the Southern stand.

    Anybody else thinks Fitzpatrick looks like an Avatar? Jake Scully?

    If I have learnt anything from being in Canberra is that I prefer the 'but' to be at the beginning of the sentence.

    Thank you.

    But you shouldn't begin a sentence with a preposition or a conjunction.

    umm. I'm no genius when it comes to english and grammer. I do find it very obnoxious when people on forums correct other peoples english..

    Just a question though is it correct english to start a sentance with but?

    Yes. There is no 'rule' about not starting a sentence with 'but' or 'and', just a widely held (mis)belief. The same goes for ending a sentence with a preposition or splitting an infinitive. The belief came about from some hyper-pedantic 18th century self-appointed experts who likened English to Latin, where such issues are actually rules, and transposed this to English where it just doesn't make sense.

    don't take any notice Don. We are all being a bit flippant and smartarzes

    Spoken english and written english are not necessarily the same

    Most tend to write on this forum in spoken english which is ok as this is basically a conversational medium

    All good points Demonland Demonised (Edit)

    Don, there are really NO rules in English, just conventions (and differing ones)

    English is a very organic language with no officiating body

    A very good (and very witty and entertaining) book to read is Bill Bryson's "Mother Tongue"

    After reading it you will distrust every english grammar teacher you ever had

    Its not a big book

    Second that.

    I was just half-fooling around.

    When you are a Victorian living up north you hear 'but' and 'hey' at the end of ever sentence and it grates.

    Oh boy, does it grate...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
