Speaking of greatest of all time Dane Rampe, his comments to an umpire... "You talk like a little girl."

If it was a North player, there would have been a 6 month investigation including regular anal probes before finding us not guilty but fining us $80k for the hell of it regardless.
 
With the hard A's they are using, no, it's not, regardless of what Orazio insists.
Of course. English orthography doesn’t make it easy to represent in writing the flat 'a' that all the Romance languages share. And I cbf doing it in IPA.

A song about footballers showing courage, unselfishness and imagination contains good examples of correct pronunciation.

A lot of the disrespect for umpires comes from the AFL never admitting they sometimes get it horribly wrong.
Look, I hate * as much as anybody, but this was a clear-cut indisputable free that was missed. Every umpire should have seen that Sydney bloke climbing the post, and there is no excuse for them ignoring it. For the bloke in charge of the AFL to go on the radio and say it's a matter of context, well that's also inexcusable.
 
Dees have played absolutely awful 2 weeks in a row and somehow won both.

They have West Coast & GWS over the next fortnight, and then Adelaide & Collingwood before the bye, so we'll get a good look at the real Melbourne.
