Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

24 hours of 🦗 🦗 🦗 so let's see if this prompts any brainstorms: Why might the squad be mixed? The re-ordered squad: apart from alphabetical, what other bases for ordering are there?

A curious comment, PK? Tell us more?

He just needs to wait, Rod...

So that's what was missing! Here we go, then, 'nicely' removed from 'nauseatingly nice'.

Could you post the photo, please, @red and blue forever? Cropped screenshot uses least bytes.

Here you go, then: Daisy Pearce Ted Cordner Alby Rodda Simon Eishold Jason Norrish Ivor Warne-Smith Mark Jackson Ian Ridley Warren Dean Frank Adams Barry Bourke Olivia Purcell Coach: John Northey Chris Connolly Graham Osborne Harvey Langford George Moodie Jasmine Grierson Marcus Seecamp Trevor Johnson Damien Gaspar Harold Ball Gabrielle Colvin Megan Fitzsimon

@Harvey Wallbanger hasn't gone the whole nine yards but his effort does warrant a star: ⭐ And I'd say you've earnt an effort star, too, @Little Goffy. Here 'tis ⭐ Meanwhile, the actual answers are still blowing around. Hump day has just humped, so I think I'll try to help you all (ha!?) by listing the squad in a relevant order, instead of the original arbitrary alphabetical one. Give me a moment...

@Harvey Wallbanger has come up with a possible answer well wide of my mark, and I'm awaiting his proof it can be applied to all 24 members of this group. If it's proved, he gets a gold star sticker (how fondly I remember these from my primary school days). Same will go to anyone who proves a clever complete connection that's not my intended one (@Little Goffy, you seem destined?) Tomorrow is hump day. Some clues await to help you over. Maybe.

'Tis in season, this off-season. Hold on to your hats!

...and we all need to be supportive of this thread. Thank you for rising to the occasion, DF - 71 days without any activity was bordering on terminal 😵

@hardtack has joined the fray with a sadly incorrect punt. However, it does prompt another 'clarification' (gosh I'm being generous-slash-annoying): it's nothing about the players themselves.

To what extent, and by when, can a LTI player be replaced during a missed season? As to these media pass marks, they are external views (as are ours) of what we ought to achieve. They aren't internal views of what we want to achieve. I can't imagine the latter is less than, or even the same as, the former, for coach and players.

Thanks for joining, @Ghostwriter, @Little Goffy, @Harvey Wallbanger, @Go Ds, and (I think?) @Tolstoys Nudge! I continue to worry this has been done, perhaps early-ish in @Demonstone's career? Anyways; I find it hard to assess whether clues are 'You call that a clue?!', 'Yeah, I can work with that', or 'C'mon, you're giving it away'. Headline, though: this puzzle is not football related. I guess that's a clarifier, not a clue. So, how's this work for you: Consider the title...

😄 ...I think...

Yep, another timely mess-with-your-minds (and a lot else?) puzzle. This squad of 23 Dees, and their coach, share a general something. Messiest correct entries will be awarded medals (of a particular type that might be revealed at the inevitable 'give-me-a-freaking-clue' stage). And, within that general something, they also share a specific something. Get that and you'll also win the services of 'Furious Fred Fanning's Fabulous Frames' to mount your medal. What do they share, generally and specifically?

Setting a high bar for '26 there, @RedLegs23!

...of Peter.

Radar. Under.

Post this. Any clues in it? I reckon 'Perth' or WA might be relevant for this particular GF.

I googled down that path, too, Goffy, with the same results I suspect you experienced. The very un-footy, American-football-style 'knickers' intrigue me as to its origin...

It hasn't proved particularly elusive, Ages, at least not for MFC; it's been easily found by the multiple names thrown up on this and like threads! Ditto 'exclusive'! It's successful picks that seem to be elusive, creating an exclusive (barely existing?) club. May the tide turn.

Zero Hangar's had a go now. Just 6 wins for us. Only Tiges and Worst less (4). Essendon 8 and the rest 'more wins than losses' or better. Coupla dozen grand finalists - on-field numbers will be bigger than the crowd.

What is the financial structure of the Club's presence in Casey and at Casey Fields? On the one hand, does the Club lose any funding if we reduce or cease our presence there? On the other, does the Club have any realisable equity in the facilities there?

Our 'one club/pokies' sale funds sit in a 'future fund', I believe, and is ring-fenced from this capital spend. Can someone remind us why?

I'm trying to decide whether I'm offended or proud...
