This x100.

Although one of the girl's dads owns a Gym so I have been able to get some kind of training in, and with her dad owning it hiring the indoor courts hasn't been a problem. Should hold us in good stead when most other teams haven't been training.

Same thing happening here. The club told us all grounds are closed for training, because they want to make sure the fields dont get kicked to shit so early on in the season. Irritating.


Some fields can't get any worse. I don't see why they have closed the Eagles fields they deteriorate even when no-one plays on them and they have to replace the grass every year.

When I played for Heathcote they closed the field every couple weeks because it is/was one of the premier fields in the shire, we weren't allowed to train on it and were forced to play on other clubs home grounds just so that the field was ready for the top division sides to play their finals on. Then some idiot came and drove their car straight through the middle and they didn't play a match on it during the finals that year.

The Eagles fields are garbage :lol:
WGMG: Work.

I didn't have any skin left on my knees when I played there 3 weeks ago but it is better than when I played for crusaders a few years ago and they decided to fill up the pot holes with this coarse sand. It hurt to fall over there that year. Still the sand was a better idea than the gravel that Bosco used one year to flatten their goal area.

Unlucky mate. I played at Woronora Heights that year and it was terrible.

WGMG: English teachers getting an external marker to mark our exams, and not telling us that this marker has changed the criteria for the assignment - immediately making everyone fail.

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Correct, I don't know how your school operates but VCE set the criterias for us and the teachers have to adhere. If you aren't in a 3/4 then surely the only person with the authority to change it would be the head of the faculty and not after it has been written

They didn't tell us anything. The external marker added the 'use and importance of a thesis' as well as 'extensive quotes in the transcript' something which no-one did, obviously

If you're doing an essay, you should always contain quotes to back up your contention. That's just common sense.

If it's in the criteria, essay question and assessment notification then we do it. It wasn't and thus no-one did it, common sense in our case was to do what the specified question asked and not interpret the question and make it more ambiguous.

Common sense says you're writing an ESSAY, therefore you use quotes. Now you've learned something from the experience. Congratulations.

It's shit, but you now know that every essay must contain quotes, regardless of what is expected of you. A teacher is never going to mark you down for having substantiated evidence in an essay peice.

I find my self in a trend of agreeing with afo frequently as of late and it keeps extending.
Quotational evidence will never detract from your conent, so long as its used in the right context then it will only ever strengthen your contention and add to the quality of your writing

Our topic was 'conflicting perspectives'. We were supposed to identify and describe these by using the context, setting and characterisation, and also express the techniques used in Julius Caesar. Nowhere did it say to use quotes or a thesis argument and it did not imply that we had to. Furthermore our teachers only heard about the marking of the quotes/thesis after the marks were set in stone, so even they were't expecting to see them in the essay
