Demonised

I understand that some people would stongly disagree, but a blanket declaration that it's wrong for non-living things to have possession is just ... wrong, in oral or written English, in common usage or formal. It serms to be a style guide thing in a particular circle.

Sorry, can't go with you on this. Non-living objects can have possession and 'the table's legs' is perfectly correct. It may not jibe with someone's style guide, but that's just a preference.

Another quality episode. Incisive, thoughtful, passionate. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Injuries.

And please, people, remember that it's a possessive pronoun with a gerund, always! And don't get me started on the subjunctive ...

Be careful. Unlike previous New Balance sales, this is on "selected products only".

A good film's a good film, in any decade. And this one had Ingrid Bergman. Well worth watching.

Err ... Gaslight (1944)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_(1944_film)

They don't make 'em like that any more.

I think our our goal scoring finals series last year is lingering long in the memories of pundits ... They want us to do that again, which would be fun, but I'd rather we did it in finals this year rather than now.

I grew up in Geelong. I find them hard to like.

Genuine question: do our 9 free kicks include OOB on the full?

Tomlinson?

It's announcements like this that tell me that our club, right now, is being well run. Hasn't always been the case, and it's extremely reassuring.

The new streak. So it begins.

Nice block by Sam W for BB's second mark.

As I entered Gate 3, three old women were spinning, measuring and finally cutting a thread. The cutter held it up, squinted and said, 'Dees by 31 points.' I took it as an omen.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Demonland podcast is the best, most measured analysis anywhere.

You know who we're really missing? I never thought I'd say this, but Joel Smith would have been very handy to have on hand the last few weeks.

And whatever happened to Ben Brown taking marks on the wing? Has that part of the game plan changed?

One too many injuries and our systems broke down. That second half ... I haven't seen as many panicked 'just hoof the thing out of here' kicks for ages.

At the ground, I was watching Weideman closely. As the ball came into the forward line, a Freo defender would make body contact with him. As soon as that happened he was out of the contest.

El Dorado.

I had this weird feeling before the game, one that I'd never felt before. I'd heard other supporters talk about it but I thought it was a myth. 'Confidence', I think it's called. I was 'confident' going into this match and it turned out to be well placed. Weird.
