    They were kind of like ‘A Beautiful Mind’ minus the chalkboard but with a greater emphasis on manly handshakes, the Northern stands, social clubs and multicolored and uncountable varieties of different font types.

    Yes Col, the immoderators on this site have much to answer for.

    Such beauty, such eloquent prose, such insight - a postmodernist genius destroyed at a stroke.

    [censored] vandals!

    I'll add a PS here. No doubt you are familiar with Seldon's commentary on Roland Barthes. I think it applies equally to ' luded.

    " The virtuous writer recognises the artifice of all writing and proceeds to make play with it. .... Avant garde writers ( such as 'luded) allow the unconscious of language to rise to the surface ... (they) undermine the censorship of the signified and its repressive insistence on one meaning."

    I'm sure you will agree on this fine point Col.

    Luke 4:24 in the New Testament holds more weight than most would ascribe to it, Uncle Bitter.

    You can't destroy something which only ever existed as a societal construct in the first place. 'Luded was just told to Foucaulf.

    i just love it that roland was a semiotician. such a wonderful word........very 'woody'

    Semiotics is the study of meaning-making, the study of sign process and meaningful communication. It is not to be confused with the Saussurean tradition called semiology which is a subset of semiotics.

    You dare to compare the great man to a mere artifact, "a societal construct" ? You deserve a jolly good thrashing Skuit.

    From what I understand Michel Foucault was quite partial to the administration and reception of, as you so eloquently put it, a jolly good flogging.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
