ManDee

"Goat-rooters from Essendon", seems far more colourful than merely a noun, but I will concede.

Biff, you take the prize for modern auto censor beating adjectives! Well done, respect.

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed Then one day he was shooting for some food, And up through the ground come a bubbling crude (Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea) Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire Kin folk said Jed move away from there Said California is the place you oughta be So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly (Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars) Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in You're all invited back again to this locality To have a heaping helping of their hospitality (Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now, Nice folks Y'all come back now, ya hear?)

Off of ! Cannot understand that when butchering the language, shortening and misspelling words the Americans decided to double up, off of. One gets off the horse. Not off of the horse.

On that basis they are still wrong. If it is a ranking based on previous performance it is almost pointless we have the end of season ladder for that.

Maybe it's Mrs Brownless' cooking. Too soon?

And you may find yourself Living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself In another part of the world And you may find yourself Behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house With a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, well How did I get here?.. How did I become a Melbourne supporter? Brian Eno Talking Heads

Did you photograph his ankle?

Really? So 11 players are selected before Kozzie and you argue he is top 10!

Question or statement?

Luxury! I had dinner with George Harrison, Damon Hill, Barry Sheen and Murray Walker. What a great night, George, what a gentleman, Damon was surprisingly classy, Murray can talk and I refuse to speak ill of the dead. The only shame was that they were sitting at the next table and we hardly spoke.

Urban myth. Hogan has never kicked 50 goals on an AFL season.

The angst about speculated picks amuses me. I suggest that no one on this forum knows who Melbourne will pick. I doubt that anyone in the media knows. It is possible that we have not even made a final decision yet. As a club we don't leak anymore and if news comes out it is intended. So why the angst?

girl /ɡəːl/ noun 1. a female child. woman/ˈwʊmən/ noun an adult human female. A girl is a female child. My point was that you referred to women as girls.

Too racy for me, how about baguettes and coffee at half ten? Edit: Sorry Hayden Young fans I digress.

Just checked the etymology, it is baseball slang! Now I know why I dislike it. That's it for me i'm getting off of this site, my dolorous state has me upchucking.

I was actually interested when it became a word as it was never in my lexicon. Personally I find the dumbing down of the language fraught. And for goodness sake Skuit there are two e's in ManDee and I also think that Young IS a (censored) bloody good kick.

Phenom, when did that become a word? I despair at times or should I say I desp?

So now you are using an archaic monarchy to defend your sexism. Okay

By using girls it appears that you are trying to diminish the feelings of women. Actresses is archaic, they are all actors. I understand why some people think it is 1964 but it is time to move on, we live in the now and it is almost 2020 (no not your vision)

Would that be the 50 that Jesse never kicked?

I often find one vant is too many, why would anyone want an extra one.
