Fanatique Demon

I’m with you, Deever. Health workers are under appreciated. Had my two Pfizer shots a couple of months ago. Apparently I’m a Bi-Pfi now.

I was going to mention that (and the obligatory apéros) but thought it might sound a bit snobby. ? GO DEMONS!

Game day already? It’s 6:45pm on Friday here. I’ll have to eat dinner, watch TV, sleep, have breakfast and vacuum the pool in my Demons scarf.

Serious question… I always thought it was dump kick. What do others think the term is?

Max hit it straight to Petracca running through.

Thanks. Love the icons.

I have a great memory to share. In 1989 at Leicester Square London, I was standing behind Hassa Mann in the queue at the half price theatre tickets booth. I said, “Excuse me. You’re Hassa Mann.” He turned and immediately held out his hand for me to shake and said, “Yes, pleased to meet you.” He could easily have thought, oh no, can’t a guy have a holiday without being recognised. We had a very good chat while waiting in the queue. Turned out my sister and his wife were good friends and I got to meet them at my sister’s house a couple of times years later. It’s a wonderful memory for me because Hassa Mann was one of my favourite players when I was a kid. I also met Ronald Dale a couple of times but neither time was as memorable as meeting the great Hassa Mann.

Sorry, my response was to Binman regarding monopoly.

Is that true? Or has Champion Data bought a licence from the AFL? Or is it just that the barriers to entry are too high for competition? What is to stop me from counting kicks etc and publishing them?

Um, I think Champion Data is a business. Why would they give away the information they generate?

Did anyone notice when a free was paid to the Dogs and the ball went out of bounds? A Dogs player picked it up over the line and played on. The umpires let them take the advantage. What?!

But there is in Weiderman.

Probably going to be difficult now, but I get your point ?

How about this one… “they had more numbers at the ball”?

That’s the second time I’ve been censored. Both times for calling BT an id….!

How about the commentators suggesting each other for roles at the AFL or clubs? Who will replace Hocking at the AFL… You interested, Garry? They need a goal kicking coach… Browny? Rooey? Lordo? They need an [censored]… BT?

The cliches, tautologies and superlatives do my head in. All of them… “took it at its highest point” (that must be at about 30 m high); “lower the eyes”. Brayshaw… “he’s done brilliantly well” Macguire… “fantastic”, “superb”, “brilliant”, “superstar”. Plus his shoe-horning into the commentary of anything remotely related to Collingwood.

The past is done and nothing changes what has gone before. Probability is about expected future results, so the future expected result is 50:50.

Yes there is a law of large numbers but I’m not sure your interpretation is correct. It’s like saying that because heads won the last 5 coin tosses, the next is more likely to be tails. The next toss (next game) is independent of the previous tosses (games).

I dont want to get into an argument with someone who is obviously so much smarter than me. But my simple view was that the saying is “bull in a china shop”. If the original poster thought the saying was bull in a Chinese shop, then that was simply through a lack of knowledge. Hence my original question about whether the change was deliberate. But if it was purposely changed to Chinese shop, then that is unnecessarily bringing race into it. And then we saw comments about noodles and chop sticks. If you can’t see how this works, then I am sorry. BTW, having a Chinese wife and speaking the language doesn’t mean someone isn’t racist.

Who says I’m an other? Racism is racism. It isn’t about whether I am Chinese, or any other race.

Bull in a china shop has nothing to do with race or nationality. This version is bordering on racist and is such a cliche.

That’s a new take on an old saying. Deliberately?
