Nomeds (as Max's parents might say?😉) Swarming Demons.

Ummm... It was just announced by the Club, in its team selection item: Matt Jefferson will miss the game with GM of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson providing an update on the Demon. “Matt has unfortunately sustained a bone stress injury in his foot,” Richardson said. “We have taken a conservative approach and given him time to de-load. "Once he’s had that period of rest, we will then have a clearer picture of his return to play timeline.” No credit where no credit's due, Jon.

Max2 only an emergency? Surprised. Chin up, young fella.

afl.com.auMembers make it a momentous AFLW seasonThe AFL is delighted to announce a new AFLW club membership record for the second consecutive year...and Melbourne one of the growers. Don't know if we hit the 7000 objective set for Season 10 (probably not) but still...

Looking forward to this now, @Dr. Gonzo: [From Wikipedia] "The wettest Melbourne winter since 1952 saw horrible conditions between Rounds 11 and 13 that produced several unusually low scores". Thanks for the great work!

Possibly the most impenetrable three posts in a row ever seen on here. And that's saying something.

Shortest OP ever? (What prompted the question, Fred?)

You might choke on 'Quintuple Brownlow Medallist, Nick Daicos', though? Unless, as you say, it's 'Quintuple Brownlow Medallist, Melbourne's Nick Daicos' in his 5 years with us as a free agent post his current contract.

Yep, I think Kade has it! The Cockatoo-Collins brothers offered some hope, but they needed to play in #20 and #21, not their #30 and #31. Charlie Pagnoccolo's 17 letters came closest in his 1 MFC game, in #22. And one final, very famous, name: #14, 1925-32, IVOR WARNE-SMITH.

@Demonstone has kept interested in this - one among, well, one... He's requested the reveal on all your (so, his...) behalfs. My apologies for letting this slip. The total number of letters in the given names and surnames of the players herein equals their playing number. Numbers were introduced in 1912 and BOBBY MONK got #9. He did also wear #5 and #16 over his 125-game career. But he kept the name! @deemoralizing67's unearthing of KADE KOLODJASHNIJ I think provides the highest number (16) there is likely to be!

The fairly up-close-and-personal ABC interview/report suggests nothing about the Club being involved in / responsible for Blaithin's personal challenges and her (temporary) response to them. If anything, the contrary applies?

Anyone?

Notwithstanding the reporter's view, is it possible Sloanehas been appointed as an 'interim' precisely because she is in the running for the coaching job, and that an appointment was required because of Pettyfor's (requested? forced?) return to her position away from the football front line? How relevant is it, also, that Guy is seemingly still in 'feet under the desk' mode?

Anyone else constantly checking on here when there's a new post, expecting something to have actually happened? 😄😩 While I'm here, though, if 'Dorkley' is deemed such a winner, there is large, apparently unused, open space about a kilometre towards the city from it, to the west of Spring Valley Golf Club. Does anyone know its ownership/availability/condition?

The best bit.
