#28 Ned “Cahl” Cahill - Fark Carlton lover

Especially when we play Gold Coast.

I’m going to scream “CAHILL… CA-HILLLLLLLLL! CAHILL has done it again!” every time he kicks a goal.

Congrats Cahill… Officially holds the new record for the shortest legs in the AFL… Previous record was held by Alan Didak. This is no mean feat guys :stuck_out_tongue:

A teenage co worker of mine who sometimes gets to train with the stingrays said that Ned is the best player he’s ever played with and one of the smartest.

The guy is a Melbourne supporter so we’ve had some conversations about Hibberd and Melksham.

Anyways really excited for the lad after hearing that and can’t wait to see him play

At the start of his career, Richard Osborne’s surname was pronounced the correct way (rhymes with Melbourne) but by the time he retired all the commentators pronounced it the American way (OzBORRN).

** realises he has been pronouncing Melbourne incorrectly **

depends on whether you are American or English

Yes. Melbin ban bun,. but I’d wager that is a standard British contraction of what was actually originally pronounced Melborn.

Also, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, the way Americans pronounce it is the same, … but they would refer to the Educated ones, … and definitely not red necked Southerners.

That’s big impact for a small fwd

Could be a gem of a pick!

Speaking as a Cahill, I hope Ned goes on to win the Brownlow, then Australian of the Year, and become our first president.

Only then will the damage caused by Tim Cay-hill be rectified.

I so long for the day where i don’t have to correct someone on the pronunciation of my last name. Only for them to say oh Cay-hill…

GO NED!!!
