I often find myself reaching for my Leather Bound Merriam Webster, trying to decipher what in the actual F____ Whateley is trying to Poind-tificate on this time.

Tonight he referred to Jessie Hogan as a "Goal Kicking Tyro"

Tyro - An amateur, dilettante, dabbler, tyro means a person who follows a pursuit without attaining proficiency or professional status.

Woof.

A rare miss from 'The Voice'
My only guess is he was still shaking a, bit after sitting so close to (and creepily touching) Chris Scott

will officially miss the rest of the season after opting to undergo knee surgery while recovering from his calf and Achilles tendon injury.

Allen damaged his calf and Achilles during last week's loss to Carlton, with the Eagles initially holding out a slither of hope he could still return this year.

Perhaps West Coast are considering changing their mascot to a snake?

I'm counting this one by Luke Hodge: "Steve Johnson came back from career-finishing injuries to play in premierships and win a Norm Smith Medal"

That's some effort by 'Steevee'

Are we laughing at the apostrophe?

I think this is actually correct. It is the white out of the Cats (plural). Apostrophes indicate possession. The cat's whiskers, the dog's bollocks etc. In the case of a plural noun (Cats) you put the apostrophe after the 's'. Or does the missing definite article change things
