Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has successfully identified 'Lovett or leave et' and therefore gets to choose which Lovett that refers to.

Demonstone gets the nod for Little Red Truck being Van Rooyen - Rooyen being 'red' in Afrikaans, where the name (or that spelling of it in particular) is mostly from.

Leaving only the much loved Daniher era stalwart who remarkably only played in one finals win.

* Rolling attack of the French!

I can't split that gunn pair so I'm going with Brenn!

Thanks for the 'red'ucation, too!

And now the pain continues into another day...

When Clausewitz stated that "It is in the nature of the French to attack", he was referring to a very different spirit than the ennui that had them labelled 'cheese eating surrender monkeys' a century later.

@Little Goffy and @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew Is the answer to Rolling attack of the French!  in the banter of the last few posts. 

If so, it went over my head! 

If not, @Little Goffy it seems you have stumped the Master himself @Demonstone.  Well done!

'Wheel' = Rolling

elan = French for momentum

the attack component stumped me

I was trying to jam Lever in as the answer, as in

I completely missed the clues/answer

But I take some solace in that Mr D did also.🙃

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
