We'd probably be barracking for St Kilda. Or Essendon.

I see what you've done there, @binman: Alves; Balme, Barassi; Catoggio, Cordner, Crosswell; Gerard, Goodwin, Gutnick; Watts, Whiteboard, Wednesday. Elegant as well as eloquent.

Calling @Demonstone: What sort of promise does Hollow show?

Money was found for Casey Fields, and a reasonable facility has resulted, whose only (major) knock, it generally seems, is location. Is that capital investment realisable in any way, for reinvestment at Caulfield, with lease-back at Casey for AFLW and VFL?

...and so I thought I'd just give it a try: 'Hullo, Mr Google. Got anything on bananas in a parallel universe?' Guess what?...

Thanks, Bobby. Re my highlight, it continues to surprise me how many of 'our' (broadly speaking) generation contribute on here. It is a great leveller, this new-fangled intreenet thingy: we all seem 'of an age' be we actually 20, 40, 60 or 80.

Ah; parallel universes. Now we're talkin'!

I presume we had other plans for September when the venue was arranged...

A nice 32nd birthday present for him. For years, now, it's seemed to me that he's already been there forever. It's a little surprising he's not nearer 300. He'd need to get deep into 2027, year at a time for sure, and approaching 35 to get there. Can we see any Dustin Fletcher in him?

Thirty-fifteen, play suspended.

Back, back, up - a cryptic crossworder's head-scratcher, eh, @Demonstone? As would be a decision to undertake all that backing of BP.

Seriously, though, are his shoulders an issue?

So long as strapping's outside the salary cap...

Is there a meaning of life outside football?

There's an idea! Perhaps a job for the botanical boffins, to cross a rubber tree with a banana palm? (Went looking on the internet for an image of a banana in a rubber skin but, remarkably, there was none (unless we interpret 'rubber' a little more liberally!😉)

An advantage Petracca was big on in his Club interview just posted, albeit framed a bit looking-at-the-upside-ly.

...providing a segue for this somewhat apt combo of image and words (though perhaps better on the 'Training Ground?' thread??)

Well within the playing careers of recent, current, and future draftees, and increasingly within the careers of future trade prospects. This proposal (project!) might now gain a momentum governments can't passively stand in the way of with funds denial or other levers they hold (contrast airport rail link). Where the funds do come from is another question, however.

That one I got, thanks, 32, but I admit defeat with yours, @Nascent, unless it's a reference to the shareable summer treat of my childhood, modified in the vein of

(Thank you, @Little Goffy) Indeed, layz. They provide us with so much saved time that we can devote to a) hunting down more(*) b) Demonland *During which, just now, I discovered, very usefully, that this year is the 20th birthday of the word. Now where's that appropriate time/effort saving emoji...

Precisely.

More midfield Kossie!

¿Que?

About the same as voters outside the Geeeee-long electorates (and about two-thirds in them).
