Good one.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around:

James AISH

AISH McCarthy

Same spelling, different pronunciation...
Got a few Irish friends and it seems the "S" is pronounced "SH" depending on the vowels around it...so with the "IS" Aisling is comes out "Ashling", Roisin pronounced "Rosheen". Then we do have Sinead, which is "Shinaid"...so it works in reverse too.

That's awesome. I was trying to figure out how that works.

Aisling = Ashling
Aish = Ash
Irish = eye-rish

haha. Makes perfect sense now...well, makes sense in an Irish Gaelic sort of way.

Try Saoirse - there's a whole cottage industry built on how that's pronounced.

Aish is from Norman roots apparently. Mortal enemies of the Gaels.

omfg geelong

lead at 3qtr time

3 behinds in the last qrtr

top 4 would have been massive for us
Geelong are just about every type of hopeless in defending a lead. It's horrific watching them go the deathride protagonist role. Especially those last quarters.

They do have something that gives them the wood over the top sides though. That's worth studying.
 
The inclusion of Haley and Madi is going to have a significant impact on today‘s game and the finals.

Brisbane won a Premiership from fifth position and we can do it too.

Come on girls. You can do this!
 
This competition is so weird that I'd think we have significant advantage if we tank today


Puts us on the hawthorn side of the draw as opposed to North/Hawks
I think the biggest advantage we get is if we click up another gear. It's also almost our best path the more we're on the road.
