Are we witnessing the early stages of the demise of another talented player's career? He has already used up two lives in just over a month at Seaford.
Stop pussyfooting around it.

So apparently the Talia situation was based on a joke by Kyle Cheney.
Because having a club essentially turn it's back on you and potentially ruining a career is hysterical.
Michael Talia has a few good reasons to be annoyed.

I'm sceptical. Sounds like a neatly engineered solution to make everything go away.
If Cheney had actually said it as a joke, no way he waits this long to come out and say so. As you said, careers on the line and all that - if it was a genuine joke you'd clear it up the next day and there's no real harm done.

Interesting point of view - about which the majority would no doubt agree. However, good luck reading fifth century Attic Greek without a deep understanding of grammar. So what you say ...indeed ...so what..

I can't say I have as yet found a need for fifth century Greek dialects.
Translations of Plutarch generally suffice for the ignoramuses among us.
(Not ignorami as this us grammatically incorrect if we consider its Latin root).
The point is that grammar persists merely as a an adjunct and even abstract aid to communicating meaning. Adherence to its edicts Is in no way a measure of intelligence, which IIRC was the point of the "smartest supporters" survey thingo.
Ain't nothing wrong with a bit of punctuation and spelling.
......or in today's parlance......
Whatever in the blue **** that means.

Meaning is contextual and without grammar - there is less context, poorer communication and we are all poorer for it - whether we know it or not. The less grammar - the harder it is to share context. Maybe the digital age is changing the rules...anyway as far as this topic goes for mione anyway - Ochlocracy doesn't work any better than Tyranny - both forms are cut from the same cloth.

I don't sit at the extreme of either position. But you're right language and meaning is contextual. As long as that meaning is conveyed adequately does grammar really matter on an Internet forum?
It was the measure used by some "journalist" to find what he termed the "smartest" club supporters.

The standards of what passes for journalism these days has fallen so far, anyone who manages to avoid being overly bias, obviously incompetent or clearly plagarising the work of others is held up as a beacon of brilliance. Not sure a journalist has any credibility when measuring anything other than how many times they can rewrite a story and pretend it is something new or different.

I felt for BB last night. He is going to have serious neck trauma by the end of the season. How good did Weitering look in the Carlton Guernsey. Born to wear it. God I hate Essendon......

One of the major problems is there is just too many of them.

That's a lot more significant than Boek's faux pas. I'm sure there's a good news story coming out of AFL social media usage but I won't hold my breath.
Manton's boy is coming up but is a very good basketballer.

Last night was a fantastic draft for us and what made it a little bit sweeter was watching The Filth crap the bed with their picks
I hope Walker surrenders #1 to Jack to keep this proud tradition alive.
If he does my 13 week old son will have a long sleeve #1 jumper by xmas

Isn't it a great feeling being drafted by Essendon :
