Why is it some people have to be grammer police. Won wonders what they do in there spare tyme.

First, spelling ain't grammar.

For the record, something else that gives me the irrits is the fact that almost no-one knows the difference between "less" (which relates to quantity), and "fewer" (which relates to number). These two are messed up constantly, as in "we have less games at the 'G", or whatever.

And, BBB, rest assured it doesn't take any spare time at all, merely seconds, and most of the time I let it go but every now and then I can't resist. I'll try to avoid policing you next time.

    c'mon now, demonster, pull your socks up.   someone with sloppy spelling/grammar is well on their way to becoming another car salesman, estate agent, drummer or green's senator ... and we wouldn't wish that on you. 🥴

    Here's my tuppence worth on this matter.

    If you are writing some sort of formal document or academic submission then accuracy in spelling and grammar is vital.

    However, on platforms like Demonland it's more about people being able to comfortably and confidently express their opinions on a subject they are no doubt passionate about.

    Provided the meaning of their submission is clear, I see no good reason to dampen their enthusiasm with unnecessary pedantry.

    Freo now 4th last on the live ladder. 

    Who on here had them as a sleeping giant after we lost to them? And was like ‘they won’t be worried about the 70 point loss to GWS?’

    They are soon to be 7 and 10 unless they pull off their best H&A victory ever Sat arvo.

    Not a chance, they are missing 3 - 4 players from their best 22.

    Edit: wrong thread

    Interesting result for Fremantle. Competition might start to worry about Sydney?

    Superb result on both the death riding and top 4 front.

    Cheers Swans!

    Dogs’ next 3 are Essendon, GWS, Richmond. 

    Are they in danger of missing the 8?

    Let’s hope so. I cannot stand them. On the other hand, I would love to play them in a final…

    The only team that can finish below Freo is GC. Let's hope their new coach motivates them to fight for the Dees draft pick.

    Hopefully Wagner comes back in for the Freo game next week. Extra couple of days rest can’t hurt their chances of getting the job done over in Perth either.

    If Fremantle sink any lower they'll have to send down another one of those submersibles to find them.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
