Eddie Betts opens up on the weird camp
WalkingCivilWar replied to John Crow Batty's topic in Melbourne Demons
I remember this because he was so flippant at the time saying that after meetings the coaches etc. would shake hands and say, “TANKS for that” and the like. He thought it was funny until as you said he was persuaded to change his tune. -
Curse you, BBO! You’ve put the mozz on me… I bought one this morning ($1.90, for just one!), just cut into it and it’s all green and gross on the inside. I should’ve gone the soggy newspaper route. 😡

On a lighter note: it seems tomatoes are the new bananas… ❗️❗️❗️

Trying hard to not put too fine a point on this but perhaps it’s a corked lower buttocks? I mean, in terms of applying an ice pack, where does the buttocks end and the upper leg begin? And does it matter? Ie, is there a difference regarding recovery of such? Serious question as I’ve never had a corked anything. Regardless, I hope he fails the fitness test today.

These grind my gears: Dessert/desert Councillor/counsellor Principal/principle These keep me up at night: CHAMPING/chomping at the bit. One FELL/foul swoop. EXACT/extract revenge. These make me forget all that’s good in the world: Lackadaisical pronounced LackSadaisical. Often pronounced off-t’n (there’s a reason it’s called a silent T). Succinct pronounced S’sinked Appreciate pronounced app-reese-iate Penchant pronounced pen-chant. (Yes, it’s a French word, but so is genre and we don’t say Jen-reh, now do we?) Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrnd robwllllantysiliogogogoch pronounced Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrnd robwllllantysiliogogo-gotch. (Have some respect for the Welsh!) 😁

She’s always sounded somewhat hoarse but yeah, last night she was struggling. She was once described by a caller on 3AW as having a “bloodshot voice”. 😁 -

Seems any opportunity to mention Melbourne tanking she grabs with both hands (and both feet). Worse yet, even if it’s not an opportunity, she’ll somehow turn it into one. -
The AFL injury report states he had a corked upper leg.

Howe is… I mean… Howe HAS a pain in the ar*se (corked buttocks). 😁 Surely he’ll be fine to play this week (?)

If you didn’t read this when Mazer posted it, you really should now. It’s outrageous! How these camps are allowed to go ahead is inexplicable. The camp described herein sounds way worse than what the Crows players endured, unless Eddie omitted the bit where a group of naked, blindfolded men held hands while verbally abusing one another, with the objective of reclaiming their manliness. 😳 -
Actually, you’re right, OD. And it shall remain so unless and until nearby Ravenhall Correctional Facility grants day release on weekends/evenings. 😃

*sigh* …would thou couldst, deebunked, would thou bloody couldst. Sorry, that’s Old English, not Latin. I can’t speak for other teams’ banners but in our case you’ll likely never see a mistake. This is partly because we have an elevated platform, the view from which makes it easier to spot anything untoward. It’s also because we’re Melbourne supporters and therefore our I.Q. is not in single digits. Nor is our tooth count, for that matter. 😁

Only Frankston? How about girls with tatts from St Albans? Asking for a friend. 😁

I’m pretty sure Dr. G’s comments weren’t directed at you, OD. He said, “if you can go to games like this and don’t…”. It’s well understood that you and many others in your age group/state of health would love to attend but simply cannot. You are clearly a loyal and passionate supporter. And you’re by no means redundant. 💕 I hope you enjoy watching our boys make minced meat of the pies on TV!😁❤️💙

That’s just one example of what makes the English language so hard to learn. But it’s not the only language that’s hard to learn… I lived in Warsaw for eight months in 2020 (cheers, Covid!) and during a period of vey harsh lockdown, to avoid early onset dementia, I taught myself the NATO phonetic alphabet, Semaphore, Morse Code and the sign language alphabet. Ppl asked me why I didn’t use the time to learn the Polish language. I said because…
