FCS, weren't you about 21 when you started posting here ?

Demon supporters tend to age quicker than most !!

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

should we start a seperate thead for gramatical errors?

[dee-luded 2,959]

This just reaffirmed my belief that half of the posters on this site just need a go out and get a good shag....

yes please, are you shouting

[jazza 1,323]

should we start a seperate thead for gramatical errors?

N":o

[dee-luded 2,959]

That might be good, but it won't help their spelling or grammar...

does it help with the ADD, we could all do with it then. & who's counting anyway. I lost count years ago.

[dee-luded 2,959]

I have four kids, and I'm more fussy about grammar than ever.

... you sayin, your not gettin it, since?

[dee-luded 2,959]

Grammar is what separates us from the filth supporters.

what, makes the club poor. $$$

[daisycutter 29,613]

should we start a seperate thead for gramatical errors?

no, just a separate thread for grammatical errors and those who refuse to load a spell checker

Use anything but Explorer

[markc 975]

should we start a seperate thead for gramatical errors?

[Sir Why You Little 37,034]

Has Roos said no yet??

[McQueen 17,864]

That might be good, but it won't help their spelling or grammar...

Maybe several shag's will benefit?

[beelzebub 23,364]

should we start a seperate th_ead for gram_atical errors?

Should we start a separate thread for grammatical errors ?

Yes; I should think that's warranted.

(Sorry, I couldn;t resist ! There's a distinct irony in I doing that though )

[frankie_d 1,471]

that's alright rpfc, i make allowances for you, seeing as you never had the benefit of a private school education

You mean a Public school education, don't you? In the Harrovian sense....

[Machsy 2,858]

No it wasn't "dumb luck" as you call it.. His Father was up in Sydney the previous March, before the season proper started, actually negotiating certain terms and conditions with GWS.. That was published just after he left MFC...

Exactly.

If that had've been published prior to Scully leaving, it might have been a valid cause to believe he was going, but even then, not in all certainty.

He could've been there to have a pitch made to him, but still far from decided.

This is my point - no one knew with any certainty, so those patting themselves on the back are doing so based on a largely uneducated punt.

[PJ_12345 1,098]

Some supporters have instinct, intuition, astuteness, knowing the way the wind blows, reading tea leaves, reading between the lines, filter out irrelevant information and sniff out the truth etc, etc to develop a sound educated opinion. Others like E25, Artie, Jose, Keyser, Jens etc, etc would call this dumb luck because they dont know anything else other than dumbness. Edited August 7, 2013 by america de cali

It was in a sense dumb luck.

His extremely high offer wasn't initially on the table and was increased significantly at the last moment.

A combination of the AFL not wanting GWS to look bad considering the majority of players rejected their offers (such as Thomas ect.) and they wanted to get a more high profile player compared to Ward + an extremely high salary cap which was only partially filled due to GWS having 15+ under 18 year old players on the minimum wage hence his $2m in the first year, and a reduced amount after.

Before the last minute increase the only person who would have known if he was going to go was him. We were just all speculating and the amount of private variables (such as his father getting a job at GWS) does make the result dumb luck.

not really frankie, the origins of the terms "public", "grammar", "private", "church", "state" etc bear little resemblance to today's reality

those who wish to stick to the historical notion of "public" school are dinosaurs (or anglophiles)

[dee-luded 2,959]

Has Roos said no yet??

No! No, not yet?

[Sir Why You Little 37,034]

No! No, not yet?
