#9 Dylan Shiel (Part 1)

[Gnik]

Dylan feels his main purpose as a footballer is to inspire people to lift their grammatical game. He chose Essendon after reading Blitz. Ever the professional, he thrives on a challenge.

A little off topic but I have been informed Ben Rutten was the real ‘brains trust’ behind the Tiggas success, not so much Caracella. Here’s hoping!!

I have no truck with that assertion.

Hopefully he can B-Special, and we’ll be in the van.

[stander2]

Out of curiosity for the unaware, what’s your translation of “in the van” ?

[chris_64]

Lets hope he will B-Double what we expect.

I just came across 28 unread comments in the Shiel thread. I casually wondered in to read 2 comments about Shiel and 26 comments about the decimation of the English language.

What the actual ■■■■.

In front of the pack…I assume derived from vanguard

[RM_7]

swimming and ■■■■

[miss_ellie]

Have you forgotten this is Blitz ?

Makes sense, listening to the radio always thought it was a player in the right spot and about to dob one.

I mean more at the front of a group, as in leading the race for the ball, rather than something like standing front and square.

Rubbish! So because a bunch of US newreaders totally misused a perfectly good word in the 90s, we have to accept we no longer have a word that means ‘reduce by one tenth’? But we do have yet another synonym for devastate?

Meanwhile two people can use Decimate and mean totally different things leaving the audience confused.

A perfectly good scalpel becomes just another hammer. Devo were right!

Tbf, if I lived with 10 guys and depended on them to survive and was then ordered, by some egomaniacle elitist piece of ■■■■, to bludgeon one of them to death with my 8 other mates I’d be pretty fkn devastated

Came here expecting news or information, and got a whole lot of people talking ■■■■. Could have gotten that on SEN

Except you’ll find SEN don’t appreciate the nuances of puns.

[Tezzalenco]

Easily done. Get someone to change your password so you can’t log in.

The Romans used to decimate a legion to punish them for cowardice by counting along the lines -
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, dead,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, dead,
1, 2, 3, 4…etc.

I imagine there was a lot of hurried counting & shuffling for position.

If we lose to Carlton again next season they should do this to the playing group.

You could probably find out by “watching” what are called “games of football”.
Just a thought.

Don’t know about the caracalla comparison, but I know Rutten was very highly thought of a ninthmond, and that he impressed the shhit out of our people that he presented too.
