I reckon this has gone on long enough.

Mattaes Phillipou.

The correct pronounciation* of 'Phillipou' is 'Philli-poe'.

Thanks.







* It seems his long-running Hunter C crusade is over. So saynta is looking for a new cause to champion. And this is it.

Therefore, after a short amnesty period that I managed to negotiate for everyone, those who continue to get this pronounciaton wrong will have saynta on their case. :wink:

By the way Dave. You're saying 'pronounciation'

The correct use of the noun is pronunciation

Not sure what sort of device you're on, but most modern ipads, android phones and iphones should be showing you that it was wrong. Obviously if you're on a desktop (like my old Dell Windows 8 system, then it's understandable)

Yeah, I’m Mattaes would prefer to be called “Poe” than “Poo”. The latter reminds me too much of that sap of a tennis player.

Phillipoussis was a ripper

Played in a couple of Grand Slam finals, top 10 player

And won us the Davis Cup (when it was relevant)

People under estimate how extraordinary an athlete you need to be to be a top 10 player in the world in a mainstream high profile sport.

Yeah, but he was a knob, like pretty much all pro tennis players are. For mine, the men’s tennis circuit has sucked since John McEnroe retired 🤠

Daryl Braithwaite

Good St Kilda supporter

Phillipou is 3rd generation at West Torrens (now Woodville West Torrens) so any problems with pronunciation are exclusively a Victoria problem (noting pronunciation differences between SA and VIC generally with words such as “plant” etc etc)

His Grand-father was a very good player at West Torrens then Eastlake in the early 1970’s for 3 seasons then back to West Torrens

His father also played for Footscray

Phillipoussis is a great fella and was well liked in the locker room

Not sure where you’re getting info from?

Aussie (and Greek) crowds loved Poo

Totally agree. Indeed he won the deciding rubber for Aus in both the 1999 and 2003 Davis Cup finals. Suffered a lot of injuries.

Round 17 v Sydney
The POE was robbed
Was BOG according to both coaches

But the whistle blowers did not even give him one vote .


Round 20 v Essendon
The Sharman was robbed
Was BOG according to both coaches

But the whistle blowers did not even give him one vote

Rumour is Essendon put weed in their whistles.

Good St Kilda supporter
If you are referring to Daryl Braithwaite the former Sherbet front man and solo artist, he is a Collingwood supporter.

Daryl performed at the Park Hyatt StKilda GF breakfast in 2009. He drew the raffle (called my name) with the prize a box for 11 people at a home match in 2010.

He asked if he could attend the match in the box (as a joke) I said you have to bring your guitar and wear a saints scarf. He said I’m happy to sing for my supper but I’m not wearing a Saints scarf.

Only time I ever met him but he seemed a ripping fella with a good sensing humor.

I think Killa may be thinking of Darryl Cotton from Zoot?
