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    Done his knee twice and Adelaide have withdrawn their original offer.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 🤣🤣🤣🤣💩

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
