thepokey posted:I’ve known people that have pronounced it ser-sha and some seer-sha, so I guess it’s sort of like how some people say meg-an, and some mee-gan, for the same name. I thought it was a more common Irish name unlike something like Caoimhe which I don’t think I’ve come across any in Australia. I didn't see it live, but they had players from each club announcing the picks (Chelsea Randall did it for the Crows, for example) after the committee of club people decided on the selection. Presumably they had one of the Richmond players just announce it. I imagine most people had no idea who Lauren Tesoriero was, let alone that she was their recruiting manager. Supposedly, Kate Sheahan who is the AFLW head of footy at Richmond pulled rank and insisted that she be selected, haha. It should be said that she has played AFLW previously (two seasons with Collingwood). She was delisted at the end of the 2018 season and then did an ACL playing for Richmond's VFLW side this year (which she opted not to get surgically repaired), but apparently did enough in her recovery to convince them to take her. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Oct 23, 2019 |

Sheahan also did her ACL playing for collingwood, she played about 40 seconds coming off the bench in her debut and ended her career. Gil told her to play in the first season of aflw as they're family friends. Basically hired by the Tigers to be an ear to Gil and get a license 'early' she is apparently not great at her job so we'll see how the tigers do this year, they did manage to grab a few big names but also had the most draft picks so have a lot of inexperienced players for their first season.

The Deadly Hume posted:if you think about it, the bh in "Siobhan" is to v as ph is to f so that part actually makes sense. Non-Gaels don't grow up hearing vowels pronounced like that so it's not surprising Gaelic names like Duibhir makes no sense to an Angle and so they just rewrite it as Dwyer. In that case the bh is completely silent unlike Siobhan. The Si is "Shi", yet another hidden thing (just like Sean) and the o doesn't really do anything either. The orrn bit is pronounced more like ahn (no rr), so it ends up phonetically more like "Shivahn". All this was even worse before they regularised the spelling of Irish Gaelic, it looked terrifying.

If they called themselves something non-stupid like the Pirates they mightn't have such of a problem. But until then... PORT PORT PORT PORT

drunkill posted:The POWER I seriously don't get why Port Adelaide always make such a big deal out of this kind of thing. Like, I would be so loving embarrassed if the Crows came out and said "Please don't refer to the entity known as the 'Adelaide Football Club' as 'Adelaide' or 'Crows' or 'The Crows'". I get it, lol crows no culture etc, but if your culture is "we throw a loving fit every time someone calls us anything other than our exact name, even if its a variation on our own nickname" then your culture sucks. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 11:20 on Oct 24, 2019 |

The port “they are kind of like the Collingwood of the SAFL, like they had black and white and won a bunch of grand finals there but for some reason the crowd got a team first. Oh and Eddie has blocked them from using their traditional colours ever” power

I still remember the Melbourne goonmeet (this is going back some years) that some genius decided to organise at the Port's usual after game haunt. I gather it wasn't too bad earlier on, but I turned up a little later because I had gone to the other game at the G (although I left early because the Hawks were getting done). Anyway, I turned up about the time the Port fans turned up from the Docklands so I kind of had to hide my poo poo. Of course they'd won so they played that loving song over and over. Goons and Port fans. Double awkward.

That's the only goon meet I've ever gone to and feel like I left reasonably early but hearing that song on repeat was something I was not drunk enough for.

Good old onearmedman hosting a Melbourne goon meet and not turning up. I still remember the SAS Wiki for Port Adelaide using that as the main joke for that page.
