Who has a point to prove in 2020?
From afl.com.au
ST KILDA
It's obvious to list Dan Hannebery as the one who wants – and needs – a big year, but Jake Carlisle is just as in need of a strong showing. The former Bomber managed 10 games in 2019 after back surgery but returned underdone and below his best before being linked to a potential end of season trade. With the arrival of Dougal Howard, the expected return of Dylan Roberton, the emergence of Callum Wilkie and Josh Battle plus the retention of Nathan Brown, Carlisle will need to deliver in 2020 with competition for spots in the backline sure to be hot. – Jennifer Phelan.

Re: Who has a point to prove in 2020?
It's looking like a very strong backline, with options galor. Competition for spots will bring with it, maximum effort.
Jake has the ability. Hopefully, he can put last years injury and attitude problems behind him. There have been other much lesser contributors.
Best wishes Jake and fingers crossed for Dan, who has the ability, but needs a consistent injury free run.

Re: Who has a point to prove in 2020?
I don't think - unfortunately - that Mr. Hannebury has a point to prove. He is a made man already. Point proven. Huge contract. He won.
However, players like, Parker, Kent, Long, Wilkie (second year blues), Membrey (Brucelss team), Howard (finger to Port Ad) and I am sure quite a few others, might have a point to prove to us on the outside.

You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Re: Who has a point to prove in 2020?
Hmmm. I trying to remember all.of the ruck duals when no one went up with him and all that time he spent on his own taking uncontested marks and getting uncontested possessions. Maybe opposition teams can put a ruck rover on him or their best defender?Secret Kiel wrote: ↑Sun 02 Feb 2020 5:10pmHaven't you told us a fair bit you play the game, why don't you have a guess.CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Sun 02 Feb 2020 4:46pmAttention from who?Secret Kiel wrote: ↑Sun 02 Feb 2020 2:07pm Yeah going to be interesting to see how RoMa goes this year, obviously he will be getting a lot more attention this year.

Re: Who has a point to prove in 2020?
It's a well known part of the Australia vernacular. Like Australian rules is a very common pass time in Australia. Perhaps, if you intend on commenting on the forum as often as you do, you could do some research and brush up on these two areas. Just saying. But you are extremely entertaining nonetheless and I enjoy your input, just the same. It's like a literary cartoon.

Re: Who has a point to prove in 2020?
It was actually quite a popular term used in the Victorian police force Saynta, used to describe 'not so bright' offenders. I first heard it in the 90's, when I lived and worked there. I'm sure you've never heard it though.saynta wrote: ↑Mon 03 Feb 2020 10:41amMaybe in Queensland.CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Sun 02 Feb 2020 5:37pm It's a well known part of the Australia vernacular.

Noun
nuffy (plural nuffies)
(Australia, slang, offensive) A person with a disability, particularly intellectual.
No mention of the Victorian Police definition though.

Re: Who has a point to prove in 2020?
The association between nuff nuff and nuffie or nuffy, for those who can hear spelling, is just too long a bow for a reasonable person to see, isn't it. I'm glad to assist though.saynta wrote: ↑Tue 04 Feb 2020 10:04amI worked closely with the police for 40 years.

Another feature of the Australian vernacular is to add suffixes to names, like Nuff Nuff becomes Nuffy, Kiel becomes Kielly or dare I say it, Saynt becomes Saynta.
But I understand you might struggle to accept the local vernacular. Perhaps your close association with the beat cops and detectives of the 90's VPF wasn't that close after all.

The entire list.
The whole coaching staff.
Every staff member.
The executive.
The board.
Legitimately, that's where I think we can improve.
