Yep, but not for versing unless it's used in the context of poetry; and even then dubious. "Yep", on the other hand, is totally legit. As is "legit".

maybe they were the ones booing?

You said: "I think with servicemen present with Pendlebury, and being awarded a medal, I personally think it comes across as disrespectful." So you were equating Pendlebury with the servicemen who were there because it was Anzac Day and saying it was disrespectful to both Pendlebury and the...

Yeah, nah.

It was an Essendon home game within the AFL season which has been marketed as the Anzac day match by the AFL. Everyone at the ground respected the Anzac tradition at the start of the game. The negative emotions at the end of the game were entirely about the game not the Anzac tradition legacy or...

There is no doubt that some Essendon fans were booing that. Others were booing the umpires and others were booing the Collingwooood chant that followed the booing of the umpires and preceded the medal announcement. It was a chaotic mess and to say that all supporters who booed had a common...

I'm a Buckley supporter. There's no denying that Eddie was in the firing line about Goodes, given his broadcast comments. That, without doubt, impacted what Buckley could and couldn't do. And also explains Eddie's comments on the booing after the game yesterday. Buckley was perfectly entitled...

He was between a rock and a hard place re Goodes, given his chairman's comments on the issue. I'm guessing he needed to keep his head low.

And I agree that the Pies' disposal efficiency was better than Essendon's.

I'm not going to compete with you on a "lets compare injustices and hardships". It's boring and pointless.

you didn't hear it from me...

Of course it's possible. And it's similarly possible that you've lost the argument and so are resorting to snide comments.

There were about 5 frees for high tackles which could have been paid to Walla which weren't paid. And yes, many Ess fans weren't happy about it. One of the reasons there was booing, you might have heard about it?

Well, I was reading so not listening to myself but, yes, I can read. I did not say that the Pies were not deserving winners and I was not complaining. Why don't you go back and read the posts I was replying to and then come back with something sensible instead of saying that I was complaining...

I didn't tell you that umpires lost the game. I said that players can only control the ball if the umpires control the game in accordance with the rules. Your stats mean nothing in the context of yesterday's game.

So now you are saying umpires do impact the game but not as much as players? And the example you give is Ess being given a questionable free which led to a goal. As if only frees which result in goals impact the game. What about the free for HTB which was not given in the Collingwood HF zone...

Is that the same logic as the NRA's guns don't kill people, people do?! Of course, umpires impact close games.

which part?

Interesting idea but one that is unlikely to be implemented in my lifetime. It would require wholesale change to the comp but could result in a more even competition and is more likely to result in the best team over the season being the premier. To create a level playing field, you'd have to...

Glad for the tiges, sad for the crows, disappointed the game was not an exciting contest and strangely relieved that the season is over.

It takes time to adjust. He was only delisted in October 2016. It is still early days and there's been a big change to his life. Go easy on the judgment.

As someone who retired early (from a more mundane but well paying profession), I'd say its fairly common to struggle with early retirement. It's not about money, its about the effect that a work routine has upon an individual's self esteem and social identity. Our jobs are a large part of what...

No worries, I think I see where we differ - i think grief is a relatively simple emotion. It's overwhelming pain that can't be fixed or cured or jollied out of by thinking that it's happened for a reason and that healing/good will eventually come out of it. In my experience, the person in grief...

ah, yes. I see. Again, the writer makes the point that we've all done that. Given advice and platitudes trying to help our friends in need. I know I have. But the bigger point is that it's not about us trying to help, even if we fall short. It's about actually providing help, not about our best...

Interesting, I found it extremely empathetic. The writer says, "The ones who helped—the only ones who helped—were those who were there. And said nothing." So I think you're saying the same thing as the writer. Empathy is all that is needed. As he says, all you need to say is, "I acknowledge...

A Facebook friend recently shared this article, for the second time since it was published in September last year and, this time, I read it. It is the best thing I have come across for supporting someone in grief. The advice that, "some things in life cannot be fixed. They can only be carried."...

who doesn't love a bikkie or two with a nice cuppa?

Sanderson is from Adelaide - played for Sturt in the SANFL. But yes, MR didn't like his coaching.

after yesterday's effort, you must be ecstatic

and Gaff also made himself "vulnerable" by refusing to let go of the ball (and possibly pinged for incorrect disposal). He was able to protect himself and avoid his head hitting the ground but elected not to do it.
