Urquhart or Farquhar.

How do you pronounce these in Scotland? I swear I went to (ERK-ERT) Castle at Drumnadrochit 20 years ago, and funnily enough climbed in there at night... as I was walking up from the Drumnadrochit Pub with a Canadian lass, - there was a Ford Fairlane, yes a Ford Fairlane blasting out 'Beds are Burning '... it was pretty "farquharing" surreal! Anyway, she got bored of me explaining the significance of that song in the culture of Australia...

    Love it. 

    It's actually quite difficult to try and write how they are each said. By pronouncing ch as you would in the word loch (or Strachan 😉) the closest I can get is probably uchert and facher.

    Doedee, is of course, of Dutch origin. The Cloggies pronounce double 'e' as 'ay'. The town of Beek, is pronounced 'Bake' for example. 

    yep. his family has kept the original pronunciation as opposed to the also dutch De Geoy which should be pronounced De Hoy but has now been butchered into Go-eeee

    I came here to read a thread about a potential FA and it’s fair to say this thread has taken a sharp left hand turn

    Apparently is contemplating an offer from Bris, If he is gettable we should 100% have a crack.  really like the way he plays footy!

    What role do we want him to play though? Intercept defender? We have Lever, we have Turner as back up.

    Done his knee twice and Adelaide have withdrawn their original offer. That rings alarm bells to me...

    5 year deal at $600,000 per year.  Lions must have a very different salary cap to others !!! Apparently were squeezed to fit in Daniher then added Dunkley and now Doedee.  Rich must have been on $800,000 a year 🤣🤣🤣🤣💩

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
