I thought Shiel was by far their best player last night.

Yep , nothing wrong with these stats

I'm more OCD about the bastardisation of language. Well and I am smarter than everyone else so perhaps you are correct.

Is trusts an acceptable plural in anything other than law? It certainly isn't common usage. People don't generally say "I lost the trusts of my friends when I talked them into a pyramid scheme". Certainly in law you would say "my family has set up multiple trusts".

You’re living way in the past mate, we’re onto big truss now

Just realised the Sandy game is on at midday today, streaming on the AFL site. They're up against Southport, so we'll get a look at Goober's mum form.

Something to this. They've gone into preservation mode. Don't take any risks and are looking like their reason for playing is to minimise damage rather than win. Richo played his whole game around not exposing our shit players to thrashings.

To me they looked like they were running down the clock starting first quarter.

I don't know how you can worry about the death of our language when you should be concentrating on Brisbane versing the Saints tonight.

is in big trouble. Big big trouble

O Dear bailey smith is in big trouble. Big big trouble

 

[my name was taken]

Doesn't matter how many make the mistake, the next batch never seems to learn from it. Willingly filming it is probably dumber than doing it in the first place

I still don't rate Goodwin as a coach, I reckon Choco Williams is more responsible for the Dees winning a flag than Goodwin, they improved considerably when he joined them as an assistant coach.

I always wished we got Choco Williams to the club

Bailey Sniff.

Lets hope so , might be the only thing that makes it worth watching

 

[Barrels]

Wandered over to the Bullflogs forum for a gander…

Apparently this is “all a media beat-up, they love to pick on them, it’s not big deal, and anyway other clubs/players are worse”…

Pretty standard victim mentality stuff from them.

I know someone who worked at a company associated with Essendon's management. That place had a toxic corporate culture where they had spies that were there to report on the staff to the board and shit. Before this guy got there it had been a great place to work and it eventually became so oppressive that only the toxic people remained in the end. It was like a pool of acid with spies, hostile management and board members all out to get each other. They eventually sold the company to an overseas corporation who couldn't believe what they'd bought. They seem to have imported that to the footy club.

Yeah Toll was ****ed up for a long time

 

[Barrels]

Stunning, brave, and jazzy.

That's not a good look , You PDC Bailey

Well it seems both grand finalists from last year think their sh!t don't stink!

 

[Hubnester]

Complaining about the natural evolution of the language is something people do when they think they're smarter than everyone else and want to show it. It doesn't work.

Trust has been a noun as well as a verb for centuries. Here are some of the senses in which the noun trust can be used:View attachment 1421310
Learning has also been a noun for centuries, in these senses:

Go nuts pretending you're smarter than everyone else because you know the english language better, but it's probably not giving people the impression you're hoping for.

This post literally grinds my gears

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Geez this Sandy/Southport game is pretty hard to watch.

 

[bergholt]

This post literally grinds my gears

Yeah exactly, just because the word literally sometimes now also means figuratively doesn't mean that we don't understand it as an intensifier when it's used.

I would say, imo, from a creative sense that in context of a team being made up of multiple individuals you could refer to the idea that there are 'trusts' being those individually defined and broken and trust in a collective sense being ruptured. The individual trust applying itself to the collective and the collective trust being inferred upon the individual. In that sense I find the term 'trusts' very evocative and interesting. ha! ha! its all fun!

Cracker of a day up here in Brisbane today. Has been unseasonally cold for the last week or so, today the wind has dropped and is a little warmer. And crystal clear. Tonight will get a bit cooler but there's none of the humidity one might expect. Will possibly get a little dewy but really it should be perfect conditions for footy.

Anyone still dumb enough to film themselves with it deserves any suspension/fine they get.

How do they never learn.

What a clown. He should know that only moderators on football forums can pull these kinds of stunts off.
