Who has a point to prove in 2020?

Post: # 1838290Post saynta »

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.

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.

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!

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?

You really are a nuffie aren't you?

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.

It probably gets used a fair bit at the Hervey Bay Bowls club too I bet.

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. 😳

I just checked and Google doesn't recognise it as a word however Wiki and Urban Dictionary does:

Noun
nuffy (plural nuffies)

(Australia, slang, offensive) A person with a disability, particularly intellectual.

No mention of the Victorian Police definition though.

I worked closely with the police for 40 years. Can't recall anyone calling anyone a nuffie, except on this forum.

Think I can recall the term nuff nuff though.

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.
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.

3 comments the ago, you'd never heard of Nuffie. Now your at the epicentre of the Branch of the PF who made the word infamous in reference to victims of police shootings in the 80's and 90's. Go figure.

The entire list.
The whole coaching staff.
Every staff member.
The executive.
The board.

Legitimately, that's where I think we can improve.
