Women's Footy AFLW Season 2024

Good one.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around:

James AISH

AISH McCarthy

Same spelling, different pronunciation...

She should merry him. Then she is Aish Aish.

 

[Bigger]

Aish McCarthy is from Aishling of course. Good Gaelic name, pronounced however the **** the Hibernians are feeling on the day.

James Aish is South Australian. The Lord alone knows what sort of free settler nonsense is going on there.

Good one.

AISH McCarthy

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.

After these Irish girls with their complicated 'S's along comes Gabby with a surname that really glides off the tongue.

 

[Dump Truck]

Drisco too.

This will be absolutely hyberbolic, but I swear I see shades of prime MJ in Drisco this season in defence. Constantly negating forward entries and propelling attacks with precision kicking. She doesn't point as much, but she's been such a gun!

Good one.

Different countries maybe

 

[stax on the mull]

Biedenweg-Webster is Bee-den-weg, not Biden-weg as the commentators say it. I found this out from the podcast with Miller and Drisco.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Woot!

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

that norman got around a lot..

He is like a Wombat

Eats roots and leaves
