His manager should be asking for those jobs to be reinstated. By the time the next footy season rolls around, it's seven months down the track and the whole thing is a non-event anyway.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Damage done. Lost his radio gig and tv gig.

Wonder what’s next for Duck?

He gets the gigs back in 6-12 months, guaranteed.

The bar for losing your job is much lower than the bar to get legally convicted. If nobody got to run tests on the powder (which is my understanding), what on earth could he be convicted of? On the other hand, private businesses can cut you loose for “bad optics”. It’s much the same really as the Bombers new ex-CEO, in a way.

He'll get back to the job's he wants to. Maybe save some time to be specialist forward coach at the Roos too!

Bloke was a generational talent, now look at him.
Surely we can get him down to the club to work with the forwards……

This is what Bali blast survivor Jason McCartney wants you to know about trauma, recovery and grief

The former AFL star bears the scars of that fateful night when a suicide bomber entered Paddy's Bar in Kuta. As Australians approach the 20th anniversary of the tragedy, he has some advice.

[Rod Stroker]

With no media gigs, and he had a lot, you wonder what he's going to do with all that spare time, no place of work to be, no schedules to work towards, no games to prepare for...
This could send him off the rails. It's known that he likes Clarko's 4 P's.

Let’s not just correct; let’s educate. That being said, it is very hard to explain because we don’t actually learn grammar in a pure sense in the Aussie school system. We are often told the answer but not the reason.

Let’s use the verb drink. Excluding the continuous form ‘drinking’, there are three forms of the verb: drink, drank and drunk.
These are the present, past and past participle respectively.

Eg. Present simple tense - I drink on Saturdays (habit).
Eg. Past simple tense - I drank too much last Saturday (finished past action).
Eg. Present perfect tense - I have drunk enough thanks (past events connected to now).

The above phrases CK wrote are actually abbreviations of longer sentences.

Eg. I must have drunk too much last night. (Present perfect tense with modal verb ‘must’ for deductive certainty).

Eg. I should have drunk less last night. (Present perfect tense with ‘should’ for regret).

Eg. I could have drunk more if I had brought more beer (Third conditional with ‘could’ for regret but with options)

Kind Regards,
DDH

Which brings us to bought vs brought.

Bought is the past tense of buy and brought is the past tense of bring.

I bought some beer from the bottle shop.

I brought some beer to my mate’s barbecue.

Well done, after 20 years of reading Bigfooty, I think I've actually learnt something. Had to happen one day.

Of course, the golden rule warrants a run ...
... i before e, except after c ...

Although our beige neighbours weigh against this rule, perhaps it is just a guideline?

You didn't mean "bought" perchance? You could have done either, just depends on where you were. Just though I'd arks If you'd have done either, you could have drunk until you were drunk and had drunk all your drinks, unless, you didn't need to drink all your drinks to get drunk. If you have no drinks left, then either you, or someone else drank all your drinks. I think. Thanks

Which brings us to bought vs brought.

Bought is the past tense of buy and brought is the past tense of bring.

I bought some beer from the bottle shop.

I brought some beer to my mate’s barbecue.

Yeh, but did you drink it or someone else drank it and they became quite drunk drinking it ?

Maybe you should not have brought it after you bought it ?
