I'll bet following MFC through 2012 was far more depressing.

Too bad we no longer have Austin 'copy paste' Wonaeamirri. The variations on that one were classic.

Clark and Dunn +e drives me crazy.

As much as I would like to visit that part of the world (really want to get to Iceland one day), it should be noted that Sweden has one of the highest suicide rates in the world...guess that fits with your description OD.

One of my favourites, not actually a mis spelling but a pronunciation one, was Jack Dyer who used to describe Big Strawbs, #1, as "Odour Wire".

The effective taxation in Sweden is commonly cited as among the highest in the world.

As long as it's not ineffective taxation, they shouldn't have anything to get upset about.

apparently norway has high tax as well, but the retirement age is alot lower and their civil services are meant to be fantastic...

i'd be happy to pay a bit more tax if it meant i didnt have to work until i'm 70

Helps to be making squillions from North Sea oil.

I used to say 'Trengrove' for a little while (a few months pre and post draft) but I think that's the only mistake I've ever made. I used to think Shannon Byrnes was Brynes though. I've continually seen Clarke, Pettard and Taggart . I never even got Wonaeamirri wrong, among a sea of Wonaemirri's and Wonaeamiri's. A bit off topic, but I've heard people at games exchange Bennell for Jetta and vice versa

I find the spelling police annoying.

As long as I know who posters are on about , I don't care if they mix up a letter.

Nah, spell the name right. It's really not difficult.

It's more the fact that people don't know how to spell the name, not so much mixing up a letter.

Topics like this one make people aware of how to spell certain names.

Personally I am hopeless at remembering people's names and so so at spelling them, but when it comes to players names at Melbourne I like to know them correctly.

Hardly a big deal but.

spelling mistakes arent the things that annoy me, what annoys me is when someone has made a good point or have a good opinion on something but they have slept a name wrong then the next 3 comments are, awww it CLARK not CLARKE!! if you know what they mean just get on with FFS!!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
