Yes, it's another one. Tide us through this final week (well an hour or so of it...) And, @Demonstone, may I suggest it's time we had a dedicated quiz thread (destined to rival NoT$NoB$!) which I believe you should have the honour of creating! You know you want to...

Meanwhile, here 'tis:

What if Harry, Kozzy and the 2 Toms had not been available for the 2021 AFL Grand Final and Jayden Hunt had come in for Harry, Bailey Laurie had come in for Kozzy, Jake Melksham had come in for TMac, and Nathan Jones had come in for Tom S? Don't worry, though:ย the team is otherwise as played, and we win. Still 2021 AFL Premiers. Phew!

But this scenario completes something for the Women's team that duly become AFLW 2022 Season 7 Premiers.

What?

(Yes, I do (periodically) have too much time on my hands)

This is way beyond my mental capacity.

No it's not beyond you! You're sort of on the track, I think!

However, it's 'only' bronze left on offer; as sort of foreshadowed, we already have claimants of gold and silver: @mo64ย has gold, by just 'Salo' minutes over @Demonstone.

I've reviewed the tape. @Demonstone's reply took in a response to my dedicated thread suggestionย andย some other interesting side aspects to the theme. Reckon there was 3 minutes of composing right there. And your entry came as a question, @mo64ย - a look back over the shoulder on the line, as it were. So I'm declaring a dead heat. Congratulations, both!

Bronze is burning a hole in my pocket.

Thanks for hanging in there, my 2 BigWs (@WalkingCivilWarย and @Witches Hat) - and any other puzzlers out there.

You'd think I could come up with any numberย of clues but I'm struggling! So I'll borrow 1 ofย @Demonstone's interesting side aspects: There were just 6 candidates in the men's team for the 4 unavailabilities that would allow the 4 particular replacements that would complete the 'something' for the women's team. DS noted that the other 2 happened to be not only our positional bookends, but our numerical ones as well; Maysie and BBB! Any other outs would have left the 'something' incomplete. (I could have outed Stephen or Ben; the 4 I chose were merely the closest to like-for-like for the 4 who had to come in.)

Alright, @WalkingCivilWar, here you go - your pain has echoes of mine, wrestling with @Demonstone'sย 'Zinger'ย puzzle.

Before I do, though, congrats to BigW#2,ย @Witches Hat, for taking the bronze, with the benefit of my 'What the huh!?' clue. But, given the gold sharing, I'm going to un-Olympically upgrade it to silver, so bronze is still available to you, BigW#1! No need to hurry (unless there are any Stephen Bradburys lurking... @dl4e? @layzie? ); I've doused the fire in my pocket.

So, from my last (disputed) clue...

'...2...number...1...6...4...4...2...numerical...4...4...'

Also, in 2(!) earlier posts, I did refer to the minutes separating mo64's and Demonstone's entries as 'Salo' minutes...

I'd have to admit it must be looking as sensible as this to you at the moment:

I can honestly say I've never at any point come within 50 miles of solving this.

But I crave more winners! So how about this?

If you haven't guessed by now, it's about the NUMBERS.

Specifically, the incoming numbers and the numbers they replace.

Time for a big clue or the big reveal, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew?

Cometh the footy, cometh the amnesia.

But now reminded, it doesย feel so yesterday, Mr Stone!

Still, if anyone's still interested -ย @WalkingCivilWar? @layzie? @Turner? - what complete set of premiership numbers would the men's premiership team contain if you put the numbers of the four replacements into it?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
