Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Get on the phone, Gary?

I posted elsewhere the credit MBJMcV had given Salo, in an ABC WA Regional interview (which the AFL seems to have 'mined' incidentally!😄) Nice to have two of that ilk - and ✅ to the Alan Johnson comparison, @Theo! Have another look, too (it's taken a few to make sure I wasn't imagining it!) at the passage leading to the Rooy goal: after Judd loses control of the ball and is falling to the ground, he can still tap the ball back into Jack's path. Composure.

Nor, in the great tradition of these ads, the pictures...

Requires him to get to 412. At 200 from 121 so far, that's around 250 games, which, at his current rate of game accumulation (debut R1, 2018) will be round about the 2028 granny, when he will be - very appropriately - 31. Then a mere 17 more will take him onto the podium, past Robbo, in third place. He won't catch Neita or the Red Fox, though.

...and 👏! 😊

95%+ of the time I reckon you nail it, @Demonland, and this week's is a very strong contender - particularly for the nature, and intense emotion, of Fritta's celebration. However, this week, I reckon Jack's blind turn, spot-up of Rooey, and delivery to him, pipped Fritta (and there'd be extra points in including MBJMcV's lead-up work, Jack's recovery of the situation, and the expression on Rooey's face as he took the kick!) What say, for extra community participation 'going forward', you select,say, 3 vids for voting? And, at the end of the year, 3 vids for Video of the Year?

(G'day, Tim2!😄) Yeah, noticed that! There was a nanosecond of hesitation, but then he did that bounce-stepping thing into the confrontation. I reckon that's a primal thing, both giving the stepper confidence and adding to the threat being directed. He's a confident lad, that one: ref. his smirk, referred to elsewhere here, during his approach to his goal. All positively Roo-tiful!

Maybe a farewell via a 2023 VFL premiership? Hibberd - Managing for 'back end of the season' Oliver - Expected full training tomorrow

If they could have cropped it, perhaps 'yes'. But, as is, I'm with you, DeeZ!

Hmmm...Dunno... The farther you let this go on, Stone, well...

I did. Done.

Did you see my PM, @Demonstone?

In an ABC Mid West interview he credits Christian Salem in his development. That wouldn't have hurt his time and bravery evolution!

'...plenty of midfield time...' for WA in 2019 U16 Nationals. '...wing and half back...' for East Fremantle. Also a junior water polo champ.

And still so, evidently! Check out 'Galleries' at the bottom of the Club website: Why else would that photo be singled out and posted, in a space normally pure Dees?! 😎😉

p.s. Using the link instead of navigating through AFL sites, I think you have to download, open, then switch from 'offline' to 'online'. And it's 'Match videos' rather than 'Videos'. Full replay is 2nd or 3rd vid down.

Logical extension, and progeny, of the Gather Round and Equalisation.

Just watched the bit of the last quarter I missed. Noticed the coupla good things Benny did in the last minutes, but particularly noticed his personal and team-directed happiness after the siren. Great club man. Happy to be involved and doing his bit wherever that may be.

Probably for the other game thread, Brownie, but I think 'snap' is a bit harsh. He had, and took, his time, and on second and subsequent looks I reckon the angle was less, and the distance to the closing defender greater, than they first appeared. Though 'Chin' did look somewhat less than congratulatory...

...following finals potentially played at theirs, of course (including Collingwood). The above confirms top 2 highly desirable, top 4 essential. (p.s. Thanks, all, for this thread)

...though susceptible to Crows or Power poaching forays? (Seriously, though, looks a player, and her interview on the club's website is engaging)
