I saw your last line as 'I'm really over this stuff'. Glad I re-read it!

Loving the sentiments here! I was at the other three but circumstances kept me away this time(*) I was resigned after last week, and even more so when I snuck a look at yesterday's 1/2-time score. It was a beautiful replay watch last night. It was some game. The immediate aftermath on the field did look grand-final-win-ish! *...and will do so again this week, dammit! p.s. I'm not crying about a Hawks straight sets! (except Westy and Casey S)

Quicker than a demonstone meme! 👏

Oops. Heinz had 57 varieties, not 47 😬 Anyways, somewhat on topic, what do these players have in common in the 2000s?... Merenda, Porter, Alvey, Powell, Selby and Williams, at a slight stretch Pittonet, and at a bit more of a stretch, Picken and Drum? Dare I say it's a bit of a too-easy gimme? [Edit: p.s. 'The Brand': Chanel no.5?]

Hmmmm.... And I presume you've forgotten to remind us of your '47' OP clue? So many possible reactions, but I'll go with 'Well done!' 🙂 Signed, The Brand Of A Now Defunct Napa Valley California Winery Whose Memorabilia I Have A Piece Of So Everyone Is A Brand Somewhere! 😉

A new rule for Puzzledom after this one and @Little Goffy's 'Too-easy' one: No puzzler may belittle their extremely intelligent followers with claims of simplicity for their puzzles. Edit: And I believe you have filled the podium, so maybe... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D9jykIqQxEOw&ved=2ahUKEwiLs_yqmfWQAxWwTmwGHflyAZEQo7QBegQIDhAG&usg=AOvVaw1o5r7rS0KJxO-5Ltzdx_bW

He's been away, has just returned, has read all the *cough* 'clues' and is NONE THE WISER!!!

...a disease 'aerosol borne' at Princes Park on consecutive weekends at the (our) end of Season 8. I caught it there, having lowered immunity from other consecutive weekends, in 2022 and 2023. ...between English and clichésh 😉

Might there have been a case for 'management'? She was in 'youthful', and skilful, form earlier in the season, I thought.

Noooooooo! Not Saturday?!!

It's gonna make that 11th hurt more...

Please let today deliver lessons for next week, not learnings.

Ah, I see you have developed a facility well suited to Demonland browsing. Speed-dial memes. 😊

How did you have that so ready?!

Snap to that, old dee! Well said! (As to the women, though, they just missed finals last season, but we did get to see them beyond August😊)

Not as good as it could have been. <cough> Carlton <cough> Hawthorn

I'm with you, KDF. @Jack Vineys Anger Manager's pics are the sealer. The other difference from those you note is the eyes; Gus's face has a particular tilt and his right is lower than his left, whereas Mystery Man's eyes are pretty much in line (if anything, right higher than left).

You mask it well, G. In my case, do beards help? Or my 191cm?

We're safe, then. Gaz'll 'overlook' the Dees. In particular, Grundy'll be acknowledged for his '25 season.

I've PMd my apologies to @Ghostwriter She knows the special little support I'll be sending through the ether at the first 'bounce' 🪕

Time for a reminder of this. Bring it again, DeeGirls.

Thanks, @Meggs. Good read as always. Not sure about Ikon being a fortress at finals time: still raw that we sat through Season 8's straight sets there. But, as that other temporarily silent thread has it, let Sunday be 'When we break that unfortunate record'!

Yeah, per my initial post, mine was on, too, unfortunately for extended, fruitless, frustrating periods. I think it fell down over my eyes, ears, brain, spirit, etc, etc...

...AND got All Australian nomination! (along with a couple of others who go OK...) https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1926253/demon-trio-named-to-all-australian-squad
