I'm now a bit less positive than I was to Huffington Post given its use of "less" when it would be better (ie, correct) to have used "fewer".

I thought that I would insert a GIF here, so stupidly I searched analGIF.  Might have to delete my search history.

    Yes, I was wondering how long it would take. I thought I had a cute accent, but I couldn't be bothered.

    Ok grammar nazi nazi, just seeing you seemed to have missed it the first time, it was actually a spelling mistake rather than a grammar mistake, but hey, you know, keep going buddy, post after post complaining about pettiness is pretty ironic.

     

    Too funny.

    Actually, it was a grammar mistake and not a spelling mistake. He spelt the word correctly, but used the incorrect word. 'Then' relates to time, whereas 'than' is used in a comparative situation.

    There are so many anal retentive's here, myself included. I cringe when I see bad grammar then I go and do it myself. We are in such a hurry to get our thoughts out there that sometimes we make mistakes. It is important to laugh, especially when we stuff up whilst correcting others. Guilty as charged your worship!

    I reckon Ken Hinkley might well be up for grabs at the end of the year, i can easily see Richmond, Collingwood, Port and Brisbane all sacking their coaches before the year is out.

    All I can say ManDee is that if you are into ornithology (bird watching), do not do a google image search for 'swallow'.

    The guy in front of me ordered a 72.

    There was no 72 on the menu, so he explained it was a 69 with 3 fingers up.........   Can we say that here?

    PS:- True story. At a Chinese restaurant in Bridge Rd. I think it was after a Melbourne V Richmond match in the late 70's- Was that you?

    Footy Classified tonight.  Caro is trying to defend her stance that Clarko will be coaching Collingwood next year.  The other panelists challenged her on whether she has any actual sources on that stance.  Well, no, but the facts are that Clako is unsigned and Buckley's position has never been shakier and while Hawthorn refuse to announce a new contract for Clarko they are contributing to this sort of speculation.  That right there is quality journalism.  She takes one fact, some completely unrelated speculation and makes up a story to bignote herself. 

    She makes a lot of stuff up about footy clubs that she hates (everyone except Richmond).

    I don't think she makes "stuff up". What she's good at is turning "stuff ups" of others into stories which don't always warrant the coverage that they're given.

    I can see you are trying to steer the thread ship here Pete, so I will add why would Clarkson, who probably doesn't need lots of it, go to a Maguire madhouse with him

    looking over your shoulder all the time, and the crew out of Z nation behind him.

    I don't think Clarkson will leave Hawthorn, why would you? they are a huge chance to make it four flags in a row and no signs of slowing down just yet.

    I do think the pies will look at someone with that Hawthorn style though, maybe that puts someone like Brett Ratten or Cam Bruce in the frame.

    I can't see Clarkson leaving Hawthorn.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
