It was Maynard, so it was deemed a “football action” 😬
-
And roaring and cheering Maynard in support, to drown out the Melbourne boos, every time he ran to or from the interchange throughout the rest of the game.

Couldn’t care less is correct, as it’s suggesting that it’s not possible for you to care any less than you already do, which is what people are trying to say with that term. Could care less suggests that you do still care somewhat and that it’s possible that you could in fact care less than you already do. But who cares I guess 😂

I didn’t get it either, but it’s explained here: https://campaignbrief.com/telstra-launches-new-national-brand-campaign-more-reliable-than-family-via-the-monkeys/

Same sort of reasoning, I would think - they assume that they’ll largely fill their stadium, no matter who they play, including Melbourne, whereas a home game at the MCG against those teams might only draw 20,000. Not saying that I agree with that thinking at all, but it’s perhaps along those lines.

Good to see that your heart still skips a beat when reading an article about “sex acts” OD - there’s clearly life in the old fox…

Their headline report card table gives them a C, but their related club article gives them a C+ ?

Agreed, now that it’s all wrapped up, I’m rapt for him as well

Although Hale is a triple premiership player, compared to Lloyd’s one; but admittedly Lloyd has a higher profile.

Seems to be a cynical white knight exercise to come to the rescue of the netballers ahead of the Victorian election - not sure why the state of Victoria’s taxpayers should be roped into paying for the sponsoring/baling out of the national team.

Incorrect use of: Set up vs setup in line vs inline Also: “Im going to lay down for a while” should be lie down. You can lay a towel down to lie on, but you don’t lay down.

It should more traditionally be “I”, as you are effectively saying “my brother is taller than I am…” i.e. “he is taller than I am” hence “he is taller than I…” but “me” seems to be the more commonly used these days. https://onlinewritingtraining.com.au/than-i-versus-than-me/

I believe it formed part of Burgess’s method: https://www.afl.com.au/news/686425/fitness-guru-reveals-secret-to-dees-incredible-injury-free-run/amp

From the footage, the way he was so confidently and casually taking it, it didn’t exactly appear that it was his first experience.

If it’s any consolation DD, I too am in the over 60s bracket, just, but thankfully my symptoms were mild and I’ve had common colds that were worse! But I still appreciate the risks and that it seems to have varying effects from one person to the next, so good for you to be somewhat cautious while still attending. Monday will be my last day of isolation, so I won’t be going, so please do some of that gentlemanly MCC barracking on my behalf as well!

I attended Saturday night’s game against Sydney, which included some time in what was a busy Frank Grey Smith bar. A few days later I came down with what I at first thought was a cold, then tested positive to Covid. Don’t know for sure, but my best guess is that I got it attending the football. Not meaning to put others off attending matches, but the potential to pick up covid at the footy seems a contributing factor to lower attendances.

Agreed - probably needs a question mark after it. I fell for it, assuming that there actually was some news.

It seems that Collingwood and Richmond have their own Aboriginal names, so no need for them to assume ‘ours’. Ten previously forgotten Aboriginal names for 19th century sites and suburbs of Melbourne have been recently unearthed at the Melbourne Museum. These include the names for Fitzroy (Ngár-go), Richmond (Quo-yung), Collingwood (Yálla-birr-ang) and Brunswick (Bulleke-bek).

Maybe it’s a positive omen - that Melbourne will be anything but “pedestrian” tonight.

Scott Thompson to Adelaide?
