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.

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
