While  of course winning this year is more important than a pick, I can walk and chew gum at the same time.

    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.

    @Bitter but optimistic I applaud you for your tuppence and your kindness.

    I do have a different perspective though. Accuracy in language and writing is very important as even the slightest of errors/omissions/misinterpretations can lead to a profound miscommunication.

    Take, for example, the Crowded House classic "Weather with you". Is this a misspelling? Has the music publishing house applied an interpretation that misconstrues what these New Zealanders might actually be saying? As Kiwis, it is possible that the song may actually be about the constant companionship between a person and their male castrated sheep..."every where you go you always take the wether with you". Looked upon it from this perspective, there could even be a hint of resentment from the original lyricist towards this sheep; take 'the' wether with you, as opposed to the less hostile 'your' wether with you.

    Hopefully I have illustrated how a tiny misspelling of one word, an additional 'a' in wether, has the potential to dramatically alter the narrative.

    I couldn't help myself seeing how Freo fans are coping on BF (I know I know).  One of them had written on their "vent here" thread:

    "Who would of though after a decent year where we win 15 games and a final that we would sink to the same old [censored] we’re used to the year after."

    I wanted to reply with "Melbourne?" but just thought its rubbing too much salt into the wound.

    Is it is or should it be are? Asking for a friend.

    Perhaps I should direct the question to Pitty.

    I hope it does 🤢, makes me feel sick just to think about it but it's the best for us.

    Daicos to have a bad game so Petracca can be leading the Brownlow.

    This morning I find myself swimming against the tide.

    I will be supporting Freo today!

    Why because I hate the Pies way more than the chance of an earlier pick in the draft.

    I understand that OD. I couldn't barrack for the Cats when they played Freo earlier in the season.

    Pies will finish top 2 regardless. Perhaps a compromise of a big loss for Freo but the pies sustain a couple of important injuries? Not bad injuries (i wouldn't wish serious injury on any player) but a 2–4-week type injury that means they lose form at just the wrong time of year.

    I am happy if N Daicos gets zero votes tbh 😂

    Go Pies. Go Blues. Go Suns. Go Hawks. Go Tiges.

    Lets hope Swannies appeal the Dane Rampe suspension and he plays next week!

    Pies starting to cut loose now. I'll be surprised at anything less than a 50-point freo loss.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
