Can we please place all our grammar lessons into the one post, so we can all easily refer to it when we are unsure of our apostrophes and our colons, and our spelling of players names. At present these gems are spread out over hundreds of separate topics that makes it too hard to reference in our time of need.

I would also advise that posters don't use a big word when a singularly unloquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity.

At this stage, I should put my hand up and confess that I sometimes use big words that I don't know the meaning of in an attempt to sound more photosynthesis.

 

too verses to please!

 

 

He's a Melbourne supporter.  His team is Melbourne.

I'm going to the footy.  My son is coming too.  The two of us will see you there.


You're quite right.  Some people don't think it matters.  It shows.

Others would say that anything worth doing is worth doing properly.

Different strokes and all that.

And please, people, remember that it's a possessive pronoun with a gerund, always!

And don't get me started on the subjunctive  ...

Don't you mean players' names?    :lol:

I was disappointed that you didn’t point out the use of a period and not a question mark in the first sentence. 😄

I hope you monitor your BP on a regular basis.

It's been a rough weekend but you have given me some much needed laughs Demonstone! 

Oh I forgot to tell you guys but the other day I finally brought my limited edition Dees memorabilia. I can't wait to see the looks on faces of all the loosers who missed out.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
