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. ðŸ¥´

    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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
