Boderline acceptable eg "hey you guys" to avoid that horrible 'yews'!!🙂

Too American!🙄

Need to convince me of that one🤔

Yuk, yuk, yuk!!

OK.

 

Guys and gals will do just fine.

I recently did a project with young Trans and Non-Binary folks and they were actively trying to get ‘youse’ used as an inclusive, uniquely Australian term.

I just kept thinking of Jeff Fenech (but didn’t bring it up because nobody else in the room knew he was).

Language changes, constantly. I don’t think trying to keep up with it is as important as using it with grace and good will.

This is going to be an absolute smacking coming up here for the Dockers imo. The signs are there.

Running towards that top 5 draft pick

Sydney seems to have forgotten what made them so good towards the end of last year. Midfield is not attacking in a wave like they did.

Brisbane are just a completely different team at home than they are away. Downhill skiers that lot.

Dockers waving the white flag.

Their injury list is absolutely [censored] 

They are pretty much cooked for the season

May as well get the early flight home. 
 

We could use some of the Lions ruthlessness when they’re playing good

I like the idea but hope we come up with a better term than 'youse' or another spelling otherwise it will be mispronounce and rhyme with 'mouse'!!😐 

I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to the English language (and for a few other things).  But happy to embrace the new ideas.

How did they go against us in the finals last year?

[Winter Dan 470]

Lets go GWS, put some distance on Freo.

Please, we were running on fumes by then. Not to mention we were popping pills on the bench like there was no tomorrow. We might’ve been at 60% freshness during that game. We threw all our chips into the Swans QF which was a brutally physical match for us.

We even managed to be up by 30 odd points at half time too. Not bad for a team running on empty

There you go brightening the mood again.

I'd have to be the worst super coach ever. Fancy having Jackson as 2nd ruck. 25 fantasy points nearing 3/4 time. He needs to put a performance in the last like the 3rd qtr in the GF to even get above 50 points. He is struggling big time at the Dockers.

He seems devoid of confidence, and doesn’t seem to know where he needs to be to get himself going.

Is it just going to take him time or is there something very wrong at Freo. There's the answer, Jacko kicks a goal and no one gets around him.

Jackson brings it to within 5 goals. Brisbane have been very disappointing after pretty much locking the game away in the first quarter and a bit.

Joe????

How was that not high if the last one was,

Swans in front. Won’t lose it from here.

Please don't make excuses we had a dysfunctional forward line all year, they even tried to change it towards the end of the year, blind Freddy could see that, well not you it seems.
