The focus on the Shield is one of intrigue considering it isn't the barometer it was once was for selectors considering Bancroft has been leading runscorer for the last two years.
Whoever decided to introduce barometer into the Aussie sporting lexicon needs to be shot to the moon.

Just trying to parse the double negative here, perhaps they are talking about introducing a "bay 13” to the SCG?

Pierik's fixture article today has the old "poured" vs "pored" error.
If you pore over the fixture you will become an expert. If you "pour" over it, it will get wet.
Mind you, this is a mistake that is becoming very common. Not long before it is in the dictionary is a new meaning. But not yet.

Congradulations, congradulate is now official. I haven't heard congratulate for a long time.
Another one gaining popularity is "impordet" (important). Albo especially likes this.
I'm also hearing "secketry" for secretary, quite a bit.

Gerard Healy on Sportsday tonight asking if Geoff Raines moved to the Brisbane Bears, or was it the Gold Coast Suns?, at the tail-end of his career.
Given some of the Suns early recruiting decisions, it's not an unreasonable question.

Poor Gerard is the Joe Biden of football commentary.

At the risk of spoiling our fun, 
what Healy said about Geoff Raines was, "...and then he moved to the Gold Coast".
Edit: I'm mostly wrong here
