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

Just a preliminary assessment, Super?

Supplementary questions, @Little Goffy How on earth did you research that?! Can we expect a name enhancement: 'Neither Big Nor...'

One week??!!! Thank you, and fascinating and all, but you misunderstand me; I won't be touching that series. Not with a 609cm pole.

Yep. As feared, vibes of post-3-straight-sets. The irony? I, too, am 191cm (I believe@Ghostwriter could vouch, approximately!?) - per another thread recently, enough in my distant day to put me in high jump battles with Jack Hawkins and John Hendrie. I do wonder why that exact number? Can we look forward to a series, from Paul Callery et al to Max Gawn and beyond? I expect at least 2 premierships before that fertile ground is exhausted! And, btw, I've always felt comfortable in tents.

The amnesty period had expired, @Little Goffy. Time to face the music!

I know nothing about potential draftees. Kudos to all those on this board who do, and who follow the pools so closely. 👏🙏

Good(?) ol' GOOGLAI: Fred Campbell, Swans 1999, Saints 2000.

Thanks, again, @BLWNBA. TAM doesn't look too shabby, then, and he's got a few of those names covered, it seems? Goes to show what a complex task recruiters face.

Define 'clue'. And stop laughing at us, @Demonstone and @Palace Dees.

Very interesting, @BLWNBA. Thanks for that effort! So, best of the FWD or RUC/FWD lot, it seems? Are there any of that category in that top 50 with higher Nats points, that other, earlier, pick-holders would take? (p.s. 'Wes Walley'? What were his parents thinking?!)

This. So important. Of course, requires us to be in that situation again in the first place. The alternatives are, 'nowhere near it, behind' and 'nowhere near it, ahead'(*). Is one of these more likely than 'close' in 2026? Except for maybe a small number of the former, hard to see so. There'll be some skills needed to go with the attitude, too. (* I have the 2025 Saints game in 'Ignore'...)

Where does his 74 ranking points in the Nats sit relative to other players(*)? Noticably 'solid' unit for his age. I know this is now a touchy subject, but will body weight control be a challenge? Certainly a manageable one in an AFL system but it would add to the importance of the player being mentally suited to that system. (*I see Kalani W. was 37...)

Who has ever played pool in a tent, let alone comfortably!? So, not only missing something puzzle-wise; in life, too!

Will someone hurry up and complete the podium? Please? I fear I might be losing any touch I might have had. Both for puzzles and with reality...

You're doing it again!... Patronage will get you only so far before... 😄

Don't tell me you found an internet registry of AFL players' navels...

The thing about clues is, Cluer: Geez, I'm practically giving it away Clueless: Whaaa? This I now know.

x2, Clint. We should have Giants, Dockers, Dogs, Swans, Blues, Saints twice and the rest once. I reckon 5/12 of those twices and 5/11 of the onces is feasible. That's clear 11th in 2025.

So, @Demonstone, @beelzebub, is it?

Impressive on first impressions, @Little Goffy! I shall not be fooled by the optimism (pessimism?) of your title! Thinking cap ON!

Apologies are in order maybe? I really will try for actual easy next time! If there was an ability to format with closer spacing of the names within the words, it might have been more obvious they were words. But, alas... So, anyway,
