Yeah, alright @old55... Brent Heaver, early on, was just too early for the start of something big, while, ironically, Paul Earley found himself in the thick of it! And how stiff was Michael Howard?!

I note Zero Hanger's question relates (just) to home and away wins. As the clichė has it, 'finals is a whole new season'. Mind you, ZH's home and away Dees pass mark would have us top 2 anyway, so I'm with @Diamond_Jim's take, but for @DubDee's time frame!

Fair call, Luci. Apologies. And thanks for the restraint in only saying 'complaining'! I'm afraid @Demonstone and @Mazer Rackham have fully answered now. As has @mo64, and @Jjrogan was well on the way last week, but I've neglected him(?) since, like I've neglected this puzzle. Oops. I suggest you count the number of clues, see if that suggests anything, have the biblical flower at number 23 (for a couple of reasons!) and also ask yourself how 25/9/21 might be referred to in an understated way. As demonstone says, the others might then start to fall in place? Ooh, I'm feeling a bit @old55ish! 😄

No need for this to wait 'til tomorrow...

Well, that didn't last long!... @old55, can we have some clues that aren't just more names, please, please, please? Or better still, how about THE ANSWER! From your earlier response to me, I take it from @Demonstone's and @Bombay Airconditioning's applause that it's got something to do with flags and possibly numbers, but that it is 'a topic of interest to (you)' I can't tally with those aspects, and that 'fact' is totally wasted on me anyway! Oh well, perhaps I step away again. Longer this time. Unless I get a PM from you in the meantime...

Here's the answer I got from adonski, @Fanatique Demon, to this and the feathered cap aspect.

Grief passes: We remember, W, and are pleased 😊

To self: 'Step away from the quiz...'

See my earlier post: YOU'RE NOT HELPING! That goes for you, too, @tilly18! (😄)

I was just about to post, 'Keep on turning up, BA; we'll eventually make one that suits' then I read 55's latest! *shakes fist*

Awwww, come ON!...

I hate clues that just add more names to link! 😄

I see I'm not the only one visiting your profile, clutching at straws, @old55! Not @Demonstone, though; I'm presuming he's been a long-time admirer?

What, getting her into music early? 😉

Looks like there's a few nibblers. Get on it!

Yep!

@Demonstone has just reminded me I was going to bump this. Yep, let's see if there's any stragglers out there, re-fired-up by his latest.😊

I did, cos of that messaging problem I had. I'll try again, and I, too, suspect. In the end it certainly wasn't rocket science (although, curiously, very fundamental to it!)

You haven't seen my message @Demonstone???

I'm presuming 'aggressive', attached to 'philisophically', and AR's '...we had it taken away from us...(at times last year)' means in game style - i.e. moving the ball on more quickly, instinctively, to open (riskier?) areas of the field - not physical aggression. No mention the fall-offs were fitness-related - indeed he referred to 'getting the (work vs footy) balance right' in Jan/Feb. He also settles the Gawn/Grundy question: rotation through the forward line but not as key scorers; rather, creating situations for scoring (e.g. 'engineered' stoppages?) And JVR: 'keys' picked on 'form' and 'ready to go' and 'structure'. So not a Round 1 lock? Though he then refers to Saints and Tigers (and other) practices, evidently linking them - not just the 'real stuff' - to such decisions.

...and have a go at a header for this very average demonstration of delivering a ball to a target by our heroes:

(You fell right in there, @dworship!) Waddayareckon, @Demonstone (and @Flaubert), D'Land dividing into the 'Haves' and 'Have nots'?

RIP (somewhat obviously) Denholm Reynholm: Would have been at home herein!😄

...aaaand... ...now I'm seeing myself out.
