Got me thinking: is Kate Hore from Queensland then 😲? https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1925019/rd-12-clever-hore-threads-home-a-stunning-dribbler?videoId=1925019&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1761995820001

Well, this fizzled somewhat, didn't it! Let that not tarnish @beelzebub's gold, nor @Demonstone's patronage, nor @Ghostwriter's unfruitful doggedness, nor @Little Goffy's or @La Dee-vina Comedia's willingness to dabble (nor that of any other silent wonderers should there have been any...)

The stat about Tayla and goals against all teams prompts another observation: the two top goal scorers in the 12 home and away rounds are both from one team, Port - Indy Tahau 25 and Gemma Houghton 23. Eden Zanker(*) tied for 3rd exactly, with North's Tahlia Randall(*), on 22 goals 12 behinds. This says something about the comp but I'm not sure what: that the 10th team had the 2 top scorers while the 1st and 2nd teams had the next 2. FWIW, North's 2nd and 3rd scorers were on 21 and 19, while ours were on 18 (Kate) and 14 (Tayla). Not too different, but the spread thereafter... (* 'Mini-matches' beckon through the finals series, then; first to overtake Tahau and Houghton, and then between Edie and Tahlia. Or Kate to overtake them both??)

It may as well be me: have a look over on the Club's 'distaff' side, sam! 😄 But I know what you mean 👍

Hmmm... Me? Or you? You'd get to return the favour and host @Ghostwriter then! But looks like we're all safe, though: Lions piling up the scoring shots, but the wrong sort! 😄

...or, should the Lions keep the Pies scoreless and slot 30 goals themselves in the remaining 3 quarters, we'll have to return to the scene of our Premiership glory.

Sadly, they're pretty easy dots to join, aren't they, G?

@Demonland, I'm wondering if the 'F/S' could be dropped from the thread title. It always looks like 'FFS' to me, and (for most on here, anyway) that's not what we feel?!

What does it mean when 'rival clubs link' a player with us? I can't think there's a positive, supportive motive?!

@beelzebub has gone that final step beyond 'contention' to achieve this: 🏆 Well done, sir! @Demonstone recused himself (though still no PM to confirm he really had got it). I do acknowledge him now, at this pointy end, as quiz Patron.

Sorry; I meant all those draft prospects in the threads, not my squad!! And, in my post, by the way, I meant 'alphabet-related' not just 'alphabet'!

The 'The <Insert random draft prospect name> Thread' threads* are swamping the board! Thought I'd do a bump just in case anyone's still interested. From the earlier clues: The answer is alphabet (2/3 of 'alphabetical'!) The answer lies entirely within the squad as listed Think about what the second 'there' in the OP is referring to. Off you go! (*Does anyone else find it slightly depressing that they're all generic 180-something cm?)

Cool signature. Don't let him near our Caulfield HQ / recreational parks plans, then!

This came up on one of those un-asked-for news feeds (MSN). I have no idea about its status. But it's impressive! https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/proposal-for-macquarie-point-2-0-stadium-in-hobart-tasmania/vi-AA1Pf1Jx?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=6901906e3b8741939232f4506704202b&ei=51

I feel it only fair to share my responses to some PM'd direct questions (NOT to be taken as precedent, though - e.g. 'What's the answer?' might be a stretch) Is it alphabetical related? Well, splitting grammatical hairs, 2/3 of that. Is in-depth player knowledge required? No.

I'll accept them all, graciously...

I'm afraid there's no clue in my correspondence with @beelzebub, LD-vC. Not from me, anyway. I noticed his poesy and framed my hope for a PM accordingly, to check whether he did know the answer, as his 2nd line suggested. However, for everyone, there is a clue in the OP. And I'll give you all another. You needn't look beyond that squad. Everything's there.

You'll need to Poem...er, Private...Message me, bb!

I rang the Club recently to speak to the media folks (can't remember the reason but it was a constructive one) and reported on here. I couldn't get past the membership officer but she told me the media group were 'a team' and different individuals were responsible for different projects at different times. So I don't think there's an AFL/AFLW division? p.s. Is Robbo still on the books? He seems to have disappeared on game day at Casey, after a very fan boy performance at the helicopter game!

I got the humour, and emoji-ed accordingly, G, but, putting on my 'reality hat' (cue gifs n memes of all sorts, I'm sure) we finished bottom 6 so should meet top 6s only once? It is the AFL, however. And it is us. And it is Geelong...

Are you confusing the Club's base with the 'Land base (my previous post gives me away...)

Can you post it here, DP?

Don't know why this struck me, but pretty chill signature: I'm glad they printed the name!

Bit of mutual exclusivity there, surely, I'va? 😄 Thanks for checking in. Have you seen the Contention quiz? Much easier, according to @Demonstone (though not according to anyone else yet!)
