Turnovers continue to crush us. Maybe kicked a goal... Hopefully he starts kicking more but I'm not confident. Suban was crap again. Danyle went backwards from the positives of last week. Barlow doesn't have nearly the impact he used too.

Hope Suban is an out for grey.
 
Let's hope Ross doesn't consult Paul again, he isn't the best coach to be seeking advice from
 
Absolute worst was when I had to work on a Saturday morning hungover with a smug Essendon supporter after the 2003 EF.
Over half of the blokes and ladies I work with are West Coast supporters and they haven't stopped calling me Owen.

Owen 4.

0 - 4.

Yeah I've heard the knock knock, owen joke maybe 50 times already. Funny, I barely made at joke to any of my Eagles mates when they lost the GF or the rematch by the same margin or when we won 6 derbies in a row.

Swings and roundabouts I told them yesterday. Just wait until the Eagles hit a rough patch. I'm going to have a ****ing merry ol' time.

So on the topic of online meltdowns.

I am told that being a glass half empty type just jacks people off and leaves you with no friends. I maintain that I am an Engineer and consequently the glass needs to be realistically sized but hey tomato tomato. Consequently I have decided to adopt my grandmothers mantra and If I can't say anything nice I will refrain from commenting.

This week I am specifically not commenting about Suban.
 
Whenever we lose my wiggles supporting boss texts me with annoying messages and i ignore him. When they lost the gf i took the high ground and didnt hang shit on him. We lost this week and of course got the texts.

I then reminded him of The Great Grand Final Choke of 2015 and the 2016 replay.

Amazing how fast that puts them back in their pathetic little boxes of insecurity.

Good on you should be in positive thread.

Just ask him who had 18 possessions for the weagles in the grand final?

The answer is of course : Natanui, Yeo and Kennedy combined
 
People who say "oh" instead of "zero" can GAGF anyway. It's a number not a letter.

I say 'oh-four-oh' at the start when reciting my phone number, but then say 'zero' for the couple of 0s in the second half. Don't know why, but it just seems to roll off the tongue better mixed up like that.

AND IT'S oo7, not 007. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: This is evident in the fact that the other code names are Q and M, letters, not numbers.

Interesting... I'd never heard that before so I did a bit of googling. I found these tidbits on a dedicated James Bond chat forum (they have forums for everything these days!).

It's 007, as in two zero's followed by a seven.

Someone (Evan I believe) explained it to me recently. From memory (which is weak at best), when Fleming wrote the novels typewriters did not have the numeral 0 so Fleming was forced to use O, though 0 was his intention. He uses 'zero' in his text when spelling it out at times.

That’s right, Daniel.

And as proof to Fleming’s actual intentions I offer a quote from From Russia, With Love

‘The double 0 numerals signify an agent who has killed or...’

The key word here is ‘numerals’. Fleming intended it to be 007.

Has anyone mentioned yet that throughout You Only Live Twice Tiger calls him "zero zero."

There's also a guy that wrote a 15 paragraph long essay about certain printing fonts used back in the day making zeros appear like 'o's but I'll spare bigfooty that one.

Meh, but i'm in an argumentative mood. Do you know what 0+0 = ? Hint, its' not 2. If the 0's before 7 were numerals, shouldn't he be 27? Or 117?

And if Fleming intended it to be 007, and the typewriters of his time led to ambiguity, why add to it by constantly referring to him as double o?

However, I will concede to Fleming's admission.

But o+o doesn't equal 2 either? Maybe it's just a general code to signify the kills rather than something to represent them literally.

Anyway, I don't know which it is, I was just presenting the viewpoint of some hardcore Bond nerds.
