You can't be serious. "The dog bit the man" had 5 words but only 2 nouns. It has one verb and two definite articles as well giving a total of 5 words. Tel me you don't think that a noun and a word are the same...

Garrr!!! There is no difference. It's like knowing the difference between a rooster and a chicken!

I thought Nicos kicking had improved tonight.

Don't get me wrong he still needs to work on it but there was improvement.

Glad to hear he kicked better tonight DemonOx. I didn't see, just heard the game. Nicho would really step up if he worked hours daily on his kicking. Remember how lousy Howes kicking was before this year? Howes kicking is fine now. If Nicho could do that...

A rooster is a noun right, and chicken is probably a word?

Have I learned well today or what? :)

 

I love the English language, and enjoy a bit of grammar, but please.... we just won a game for goodness sake.

That's either hilarious or very very embarrassing.

EDIT: How 'bout those Dees, eh?

Even though his kicking has improved its his major flaw in his game.

All other aspects of his game i really like and I am sure he is working on it.

He's already got the engine and speed, now for his kicking to come up to the same level.

That's either hilarious or very very embarrassing.

Dees great. Your knowledge of grammar not so good

I am rapt, mainly because i seem to have some sort of psychic connection with Neil Craig.

He is playing the players in exactly the positions i have been wantingthem to play for ages.

nicholson as a tagger and Watts up forward mainly.

 

Fitzy is edging ahead in the race for a regular spot against Pedersen and Sellar.

I actually thought his decision making tonight was pretty sound and his skills had improved notably. His confidence is growing along with the rest of the team.

Jaded used the term r$$ted. When I did that I got banned for a week.

She probably used the term in a proper and descriptively-correct context.


A rooster is male and a chicken is female isn't it chook!!!

U should know CHOOK!!

A hen is female. A rooster is male. They're all chickens.

And yes, I SHOULD know. And I do.

Again, how 'bout those Dees?

This might sound crazy but that last quarter might be good for them. The game is never won.

Agreed. We should have been further ahead at three-quarter time, and seemed to relax in the last quarter, thinking we had it won. To the Dogs credit, they kept coming and almost pinched it. The fact that we held on makes it a highly significant lesson, thankfully with a happy ending -- never, ever, slow down or take it easy. Go Dees!

Mate there are a few positions going at the Dees at the moment, maybe u should apply for assistant coaches role!!!

I know mate but u made me laugh.

Don't be a smart arse I got your point and I understand what u are saying but hey it could have been worse we could have lost.

Yes we had a big lead, yes they kicked a bag full against us like the other teams u have mentioned above but we WON

We have to enjoy it for what it is and work on the bleeding goals side of the game.

who's the smart ass u sounded like a smartass in your 1 st reply to my post, you sounded simple with your 1 st reply, by the way i am happy with the win, just pointing out one of the teams weakness


Can we mathmatically still make the 8??.......yeah yeah ok...ha a win!! Who would have thunk it!

Those Dees are awesome Chook but now I'm worried, WTF have I been eating all my life, Hen's or bloody Chickens??

I don't for a second understand the Nicho hate.

Here we have a kid who isn't afraid to take the game on, is the fittest on the list and has never to be questioned desire. He's going to make mistakes but that's all part of developing kids. I also believe his skill execution will improve when his team mates have the work ethic to spread into space.

Support the young lads. They're out future.

There you have it folks.

It's because Neil Craig isnt an idiot like Mark 'I wouldn't do anything differently' Neeld.

I liked that fact that Watts took the critical mark in the last qtr.

Showed leadership and strength imo

U smart ass, me smart ass we all smart asses.

Agree though its something we need to work on along with a few other things but hey it could have been worse.

Yep....

in 2014!

U smart ass, me smart ass we all smart asses.

U smart ass, me smart ass we all smart asses.

smart ass are only the one who is smartass 1st, me no smartass, just ask my wife who thinks i am dumass

You've probably chewed your way through quite a few Capons. Hens are useful egg-suppliers, a C0ck is less-useful.

Not getting ahead of myself and I realise a lot depends on what happens over the final 9 games or so, but I hope we keep Neil Craig as coach. He is already showing he is building something to work on. Bringing in a new coach next season means reinventing the wheel yet again to another coach's philosophy and style. As long as we remain competitive and win a few more games, and the players like playing for him, I think we are on a read winner here. .

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
