My bolded words are just putting fuel on the fire and are surprisingly ill-judged IMHO.

I imagine that the Ancient Greeks did not give a stuff, with Constantinople having fallen on April 29, 1453. (Yes, desperate but certainly not dateless). However, the educated class in the 19th Century, was mad for Ancient Greek (as well as Latin). They coined new words based on the Ancient Greek language, e.g. phonogram, telephone, phoneme, saxophone. The alternative explanation that those were just the letters that came out of the scrabble bag, seems rather far-fetched.

If I may have a attempt Old55, the AFL should have wrapped this up more rapidly. First up, their investigations officer should have interviewed all parties individually asap with or without their lawyer as they choose. When it came apparent that their stories were incompatible and one side didn't want to meet the other side, the AFL should quickly have said that the basic facts could not be agreed and no further action was possible. The appointment of a panel of lawyers had no prospect of success. Gill's statement that "this is what they asked for" ducks responsibility. So no further action unless someone sues. Then the jury will be able to look into their faces and work out who was gutted and who is defensive/ashamed. I suspect that there won't be cases. The interview with the former Hawthorn football club welfare manager Jason Burt suggests that they should keep their heads down. So Gill that is another big fail after Lamumba, Goodes, Rioli(?), etc. The system to support indigenous and/or immature and/or isolated players is broken and you do not seem to care. Sling me or many others some of your salary and we would tell you how to fix it.

Too much information perhaps but "p" run into "f" does sound a bit like "f". It was the best that the ancient Greeks could do a couple of thousand years ago last Tuesday, when the "f" sound came back into use in their language. The dedicated letter of diagamma had disappeared due to lack of use. Phono-etc words come from the Greek words φωνή (phonē, 'sound' or 'voice'). Hence the odd spelling. Similarly, the naughty frenchies spelled the Anglo-Saxon "ch" sound as "tch" i.e. catch, hatch. They ran together the "t" sound with the "sh" sound that they rendered as "ch" e.g. chalet, mon petit chou.

Looked Verrall up on the MFC website. Bronze Sponsor => Clayton Oliver Should be a couple of threads about conflicts of interest in there 😃

She'll be right mate. Maysie will push Curnow off the drop off the ball before the umpires are watching.

But only 23, playing at the club where coaches go to die, TMac has seized up. We need the kgs. Sign him up.

Just an oddity but he runs exactly like his old man did.

Has there been extra video yet? If not, Sparrow released Day earliy and he stumbled over the umpires' guide dog as far as we could see in the partial video. Woofy was too cute to charge.

Still worth a thread but the records are no longer a dagger to my heart. We won a Premiership. We crashed out of the finals last year but we won a Premiership. We gave Roos a very MFC send-off with his greatest ever loss. But we won a Premiership. Hopefully others found 2021 as therapeutic. 😃

This is not a Tim Tam.

God bless you Mansell. Still looking forward to Scott's presser. He may collapse inwardly like one of those blackhole thingies.

The ALDI timtam knockoff is better than the real thing!!! The firmer biscuit lasts that little bit longer when dunked in the coffee. (lobs grenade and scurries off)

We need to give Petty some time to learn the Forward's craft as we did for Van Rooyen. Possibly some less flaky coaching will train up the Love Shack for a key position. We need the extra kilos. Our new guys are lightly built. Van Rooyen floats like a bee but dropped a lot on Saturday. Half a century ago, a much taller friend was coached to tilt his hands forward. Anyone out there with an updated diagnosis and cure?

Who do you want to dig you out of the snow, a St Bernards or a beagle with ambition? The political system has thrown up Prime Ministers Morrison, Abbot, Rudd, Turnbull, Keating, etc. Shrinking violets to the man with hubris unknown. Be Afwaid be vewy vewy Afwaid — (Elmer Fudd c. 1956) Any mention of a recent State Premiers will cause this thread to self-combust.

The chocolate on a violet crumble sticks too firmly to the honeycomb. The choclate on a crunchie can be nibbled off leaving the honeycomb to be wolfed down. This is the correct way to eat a crunchie but don't let anyone watch you. They may come over all unnecessary.

As a dislecksick baby boomar, I will one at the back yelling "JUDAS".

Very percussive. A friend reckoned that standing up near the stage was like being caught in a pin-ball machine. Possibly when they first hit Melbourne from Dubbo. Still loved them.

Warner Bros owns the trademark, Tasmanian Devil. The AFL applied for a Trademrk, Tasmania Devils, in 2019 but it has not proceded. This has been reported on several news sites. I favour "Tasmanian Tigers" to ignite another team.

Until we apologetically stop, slip in a few "Mexicans".

Big tick

Newcastle has the population but rugby-mad.

Why is Grundy/Gawn working when Preuss/Gawn failed?

It is official folklore of the Eighties (and from ex-players, too) that rugged Essendon full-back Ronnie Andrews would toughen up the downy-cheeked recruits by taking them pig-shooting. Now we know where we were went wrong.

JVR listed at 193 should be 2 or 3 cm shorter than Lever and Petty. I saw him coming up the race next to Lever and standing next to Petty. Instead he looked 2 or 3 cm taller. Maybe he has grown. Just curious really but will claim that it is compromising my football betting so that I may spit the dummy.
