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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
