Of course not. You treat the kid with respect. In fact, it's a good opportunity to model the type of respectful communication that you are hoping to see in your students. Teaching is about building positive relationships, not combative ones.

Fair enough. I'm not not entering into class warfare here. All I will say is that I teach kids in the western suburbs for a living. And I do call out this type of language when I hear it. The same as any other teacher would. It's about reinforcing the pillars of respect. If this comes across...

That's quite an extrapolation.

Just, no. I'd be mortified if this were true. Let's not normalise misogyny.

Nothing in it. Let them and their supporters be happy. It's an awesome feeling.

I think that my own team, the Doggies, will be heavily in the mix. But I think that Melbourne have done enough to warrant being taken very seriously as a premiership contender. Not sure what more they could have done. The only wildcard will be injuries to key personnel, as undoubtedly some of...

True. Weitering is an out-and-out gun. I think that we're in for another decade of these two gladiators having epic battles against each other. Worth the price of admission.

Dusty is an amazing footballer, and definitely in the conversation.

GWS did have a bad run with injuries this year, but people forget that they had a charmed run in 2016, with amazing continuity in their best 22 line-up and really - of their better players - only Devon Smith missing a substantial number of games. They couldn't get the job done under those...

School holidays are in.

This. Obviously stoked with last year - a real dream come true. But unexpected, and I think ahead of schedule. Looking at our list, I still believe that we are a work in progress (e.g., we have three very big retirements pending in Murphy, Morris and Boyd that will have a significant impact...

Didn't Jack captain Victorian Metro back in the day as well? He must have some leadership skills, which either Queensland team could utilise.

Yep, Lobb robbed. Trying saying that ten times quickly after ten beers.

Just like the walkover many tipped in the Elimination Final in Perth? Or the spanking we were going to get by GWS?

Except that this isn't the precedent set by the AFL. Rewind to last year's final between the Dogs and Crows, in which the Bulldogs' plea to have the match played at Etihad fell upon deaf ears. We played it where the AFL directed it to be played, with ground capacity being the pivotal issue.

The idea of the Giants having been robbed of anything is pretty laughable.

Our absolute top-end talent is as good, but we don't bat anywhere near as deep. How could we? Not a level playing field.

Why are posts from GWS supporters on this thread so consistently arrogant in tone and abusive? I have some sympathy for the GWS cause, but the proliferation of cheap shots and condescension coming from their camp is counter-productive and actually clouds the debate.

BT can be painful at times. He seems to want to be Rex Hunt incarnate - and by God, one Rex Hunt was 1000 times more than enough.

Won't watch it - no interest.

Wow. Pretty short memory of Cooney. The poor guy's career has been decimated by injury, but his Brownlow season was elite.

I think that it is pretty clear that Pearce complained, and I'm not sure how these articles explicitly contradict that. In the first, Pearce is described as having "taken a stand." In the second, all it states is that Pearce's club did not initiate a formal process. However, somebody did bring...

Oh, I'm sorry. You said, and I will quote you directly, "Find us a proper source." You didn't ask for a direct quote. Let me make this simple for you. The newspaper is the source, ableit a secondary one. Pearce's father has been reported, by the Herald Sun, to have made the claim that you...

http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/probe-into-will-minsons-mother-sledge/story-e6frg1xu-1226399207354 And the most relevant part: Pearce said he was pleased his son made an official complaint, rather than leaving it on the field. "He's standing his ground, someone has insulted his family...

And it was here that I stopped reading.

A few of their free kicks against the Dogs last week came about because the player collapsed at the knees just before getting tackled. You've raised a good point - I was thinking the same thing (i.e., that it could be a deliberate tactic). If so, then it's pretty smart...that is, unless someone...

I loved Plugger. I would always watch the Saints just to see him in action if the Doggies weren't playing. Kicked ten against us at the Western Oval one day...I still couldn't hate him. :D

Agree x 1000. For this reason alone, I am now hoping for a Cats gf victory - the triumph of attractive, exciting gameplay over painstaking, defensive strangulation.

Re: Did the saints just play there grand final? And how far would that be :rolleyes:? Pretty smug comment. It's all about spin, isn't it. Conversely, one could say that, if not for your one superstar (and he is an unbelievable player), the Saints would have lost by the length of the...

Re: Can someone tell me what the point of keeping Terry Wallace on as coach is? Is Gary March afrai Terry's influence at the draft table created a legacy of structural problems at the Bulldogs that only now look like being overcome (and that's not for certain). He has this strange...
