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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
