Review Cats sink Dockers by 11 points.

[Mattlock]

Some of you would go insane working in the school system now.

I'm a secondary school teacher and literacy (spelling and grammar) are scarily low and it's really hard to teach, among other reasons.

Thank **** I resigned though

 

[Mattlock]

Also, that's a real good win tehehe.

 

[allrighty]

I was going with the more recent option

I never saw Clarke Snr play, but if he was the better player then I'm happy to really roll out the retirement village mantra

Nice. Snr was a great player, consistent and versatile. Legacy tainted as a Director in the Pyramid shitshow.

I’m torn between both valid points of view.

Banfield had his arm under Zuthrie’s shoulder + deliberately moved his elbow to Zuthrie’s head. Not a slip, not a brain fade to me.

Consequently, if AFL were serious about protecting players’ heads, the penalty would be more severe. Further, AFL should add elbowing as a classifiable offence. As it stands, if challenged, the stronger charge would be dismissed as it’s not within the rules.

cats_09 is right......under the current rules there's little else that can be done but slap Banfield with a piffling fine.

However, like Cats_09 also said, the elbow needs to be written into the rule book and punish grub acts like this harshly. Such actions simply can't be, shouldn't be, condoned. It needs to be eradicated quickly.

We have a sub-club of three now Zouz Kitty - life is good.

The bolded is me too, but I know I can be a bit OCD on this at times.

Same.

I'm known in my close circles for my OCD's, with grammar and spelling being two of them

 

[Hinkley29]

Completely agree.

Poor grammar and poor spelling are bug bears of mine.

I really have to bite my tongue at times and let it slide, but it curls my toes to do so.

Like you say, there are no excuses, but phonetic spelling seems to be the way for a lot of people.

Proper grammar and spelling seems to be going the way of cursive writing.

There actually are plenty of excuses. Some of them are even valid.

Not worth stressing about though, it just seems like pissing into the wind to me.

There are some valid reasons, yes.

But not enough to explain the widespread inability to speak and spell properly, or the poor literacy rates in our schools as Mattlock referenced above.

And yes, whilst a personal bugbear, it's not a crusade, which we've made clear I believe.

Oz is ranked 34 in the 36 top OECD countries for education standards despite ... etc etc. We should move on from this discussion before Daz wakes up and cracks it

 

[Zouz Kitty]

What were they discussing?

Boot studs + if players choose them, or if the Club decides which studs to wear.

 

[K rock Football]

Been some great goals this year, any big name kicks it and it would be there abouts, but Krock and 3AW unbelievably didn't even give it goal of the day!

Gryan probably didn’t sell it enough

Just a heads up. We don't select Goal of the Day - it's actually done by the panel operator back in the studio.

Oh so its like being on Carlton Twitter atm.

I said it was scarily bad, not unsalvageable hehe

Clarke alongside Homes, Bruin, Demsee, Manner, Cornway, Neil, Henri and Humfrees would've been great to see though.

Don't forget Bayley Smyff!

What about Ocean Mulan?

He had the hair and everything.

How rising Mannagh responded to latest VFL snub — Adelaide Advertiser

Shaun Mannagh was stuck in the VFL — again. But he is finally seeing the rewards for his work on and off the field. He reflects on his at times challenging first year and his stellar form.

[Heckler]

Hope allrighty doesn’t this or his [sic] going to blow a gasket.

My absolute bête noir is too many people are unaware that the plural for there’s, is there are! Always write there’s too many stray cats, instead of there are too many stray cats.

Sadly even basic punctuation is diminishing.
Let alone understanding proper use of :-
Colons, Apostrophes, Hyphens, Tilde etc.

My absolute bête noir on this Cats Forum is
Reply's with pronouns rather than using a name
Each post should be understood; Stand Alone
Instead needing to link back from He to find Who

Guilty of using brief Bullet Points needing inference
In defence of breaking conventional grammar rules
I'm claiming Poetic License

 

[Heckler]

What do critics expect of Neale? He’s played 16 AFL games and is 22. He’s starting to be more comfortable and clunk some big marks. He’s kicked 18 goals in 11 games this year and has 5 GA. I would say he’s developing nicely.

AFL level is way more physical than VFL
Still needs to use his strength to advantage
It's not just about him taking pack marks
Also must prevent opposition intercepting.
Once Neale learns body use, he will be a beast

[And_ROOS]

Gryan Messi
Barely celebrating exceptional goals because its the norm for them

 

[juzcat]

Really illustrates in my eyes at least, just how valuable a quality key forward is. We are witnessing it with Hawkins and hoping to hell Neale works out but guys like Hawkins & Cameron are generational. You can get lucky like Collingwood with no forward but it is not sustainable.

Cats should try and throw the kitchen sink at Lukosius. An aerobic big man similar to Cameron who just needs a new environment to hit his straps.

Why? Knowing Ess they will **** up his development at the very least or he will request a trade

COS will be a good player and is an actual need down back for the next 10 years, Caddy is just looking good because he is getting more game time atm.

agreed - COS looks very good at VFL level and is developing nicely IMO.

You can see her reads the play very well, goes when he needs to and is very well skilled.

But he's been given the time to learn. Caddy is doing great too and we got Mitch Edwards who could be anything as well.

Tracking Curtain, C'OS and Caddy will be an enjoyable watch if going on what each are showing depending on each clubs development path.
