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.

Happy Homer Simpson GIF
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.

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?

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.


Bears sleepwalking their way through this one.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
