So you throw a word like schadenfreude into a sentence but you do not know the difference between there and their!!!!!!

 

Can't wait to see Trenners out there again, going to be a massive crowd at the game i reckon.

Thanks, I hate it when people get their there's mixed up. It started out as their schadenfreude moments and when I changed the sentence I missed the error.

lol, you realise you stuffed it up there as well? You've used a conjunctive apostrophe where you shouldn't have.

I'm not usually someone who likes to correct grammar on the internet, but this one was pretty funny.

Damn, I give up, no apostrophes for plurals, not sure there's* is conjunctive but I'm batting zero so let me have it

Edit:- theres - a made up plural form of their they're and there. Sometimes English fails more often my English fails.

Been a long time coming with a list this long but take your pick and with apologies to ANB, Brayshaw, Stretch, Vanders and Oliver (How good is it not to expect a 1st year player to be our saviour and shining light and allow them to develop)

Salem - think we landed a beauty in him

Kent - I think the penny has dropped, he has the tools and the speed to really hurt opposition

Petracca - loved what I saw in 2014 Nationals and the pre AFL willingness to knuckle down

Trengove - obvious reasons and many forget the footy smarts, discipline to adhere to team structure and ability shown before injury

Hogan - 2nd season and has everything

Viney - jumped up a class last season expect him to become our number 1 mid by seasons end

Tmac - can he make the early season form of 2015 to a consistent and regular occurence

Gawn - Has the preseason and miles into the body to go with the ability and the ruck craft he has learnt, could be a big year

The Trac for mine. I am as excited about what he might bring to the table as i was with Hogan.

Because he is not a KPP i don't think people have really considered how big an impact he might have, unlike Hogan who everybody thought would impact straight away (admittedly also because of his big year at Casey not just he was KPP). I really think, if he remains fir, he could be huge factor for us in rising up the ladder.

He will be a really difficult match up on the HF with his size and strength and us loading up on talls in the forward line will make the match up even trickier. And they will have to blanket him because he will damage sides if not. He also an X factor and all teams need one or two of those in the forward half. 

Kent is a close second, for much the same reasons actually and in particular because he also has an X factor. He also has a bit of a strut and a bit of mongrel about him.

Trenners for sure. What a bonus it will be if he can come back at full running capacity. 

Trac a close second.

Others I am most excited to see in terms of what level they can go to this season, in order, are Tyson, Kent, Vanders and Salem. Those four go up a gear and we become a much more damaging side.

I voted Hoges for his sheer will and ferocity....his demand for the ball is something I havent seen since the days of Jaka....

But there are many others i could choose....Dean Kent will arrive this year...I feel it.....hes just got that X factor and outstanding pace which i love.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
