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Done his knee twice and Adelaide have withdrawn their original offer.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: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
