It's their choice? 👍 if so.

Handball becoming a weapon.

Early days, but... Impressive footy.

What year is this from, that had this particular order?!

Yes, yes, yes! Long forgotten - right up there with the Melky milkshake reminiscing!

Accepting PM requests for encouragement, EO 😉

😄 Not sure how that helps, though! Was that one of the occurences?

Welcome, @tilly18 to the Solvers' Sanctum. And please accept the well-earned Persistance Award!

Re Jack Watts, I must agree with latter posters. I think earlier posters were about 'appetite for the contest' as opposed to football skills, brain and game contribution?

'Seasonal' 'Stretch' 'Suspense' '(generally) Handy' To borrow from @WalkingCivilWar, 'Amirite?' @reynolds46 and @Witches Hat? Any help to continue you down your paths, @Jumping Jack Clennett and @Diamond Jim? Still there @Demonstone and @Engorged Onion?

But can he play?... https://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/patrick-jolly-the-pearly-king-of-crystal-palace-celebrates-news-photo/153113428

@Engorged Onion, @Queanbeyan Demon, @DEE fence; great stuff, folks (I felt like I was looking in a mirror, QD!)

Great resource, DT; thanks! Two days, two captains, two rounds of smiling. We're blessed! p.s. Her reaction to the McAvaney footage did look as though she might’ve got in trouble for it 😬

Phew! Sorry! That'd help!

The 'Run Home' now being to Flag#14, am I right in understanding that, when(!) we win on Thursday, and then when(!) Port lose to Brisbane but then beat the winner of StK v GWS, our Preliminary Final would be in Adelaide, as Port were the higher-ranked H&A team?

...yet again. Informative, open, entertaining, and positive on a lot of matters we here tend to be so negative about. Among many, particularly loved his '5 more years' line 😊 More of this, Max!

Anything that I don't have to 'join'? 😬

Just missed it. Can some whizz post a recording?

More on the OP's 'useful word or four' on the morrow.

@Witches Hat joins the Solver Sanctum. Well done! Got well towards the answer with a first attempt, with the 'what', so I did give a bit of encouragement (that there might be more for a full answer). Then got the 'when'.

...Thanks for the first bit, though! 😊

Not sure whether to be chuffed or miffed! And I'm sure you're in the cerebral camp! A clue, then: It's footy related.

Got one more, DIO?

I'm finding this thread an interesting warm-up for when Ben Brown, Tom McDonald, Brodie Grundy, James Harmes and/or James Jordon are confirmed as 2024 starters 😉

Since I started drafting the reply below, there has, in fact, been an entry, and a CORRECT one at that. Hearty congrats to @reynolds46! The reply was, 'Thanks for bringing this back up the board, Mr Stone. Not sure about the 'We're'; 'I'm' would be better suited, as it's been 🦗🦗🦗 otherwise! Perhaps I should have asked you to post my puzzle in your name to attract the rusted-on Demonstone conundrum tragics?😉' However, with Reynolds' successful entry I'll keep clueing to a minimum for the moment, and just point to the OP for a useful word or four... (yes, Reynolds?)
