(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).

Simplifies the Southern Stand redevelopment somehow?

Mixed cultural metaphoring par excellence, M. Taraxius Clubae-san

Those of you more perceptive than me: what is there to hang our hat on for improvement (from a pretty ordinary base, it seems...) for the rest of the season? So different from the Season 8 H&A performances.

Spotted in the crowd: Todd Viney, doing the right thing by sporting a grandchild wearing dad's jumper. And another with historic divided loyalties: Shaun Smith. And, no, I didn't ask...

This, unfortunately. Also, not realising the lesson Mick said was learnt from last week - too many drawn into the contest leaving nothing outside, in contrast to North.

Shades of last week so far: opposition's link, run and carry, and being beaten in the air, particularly across half forward. Endeavour up again, too, though.

Not necessarily popular here, but... Brisbane, please, please, please, beat Geelong. Then, regardless of the Sydney/Port outcome, a non-Victorian GF. Beautifully unwatchable.

I wish I'd said that. Oh wait, I did!! hahaha But, seriously, I'd like* to say it again on Grand Final day, I now realise. *...with just a touch of bitterness.

When you're a caretaker it's right there in the name what you're supposed to do...

I presume - certainly hope - this is from the Shun's report, alph? For those of us not of the Shun or Twatter persuasion, could you elaborate on the terms of the poll, please (presuming there are any...)

Spin, no doubt, but also a glimmer of a bigger future. Play to keep them in '25, boys (and you Season 9 girls!) https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1652421/melbourne-breaks-junior-membership-record

From the heady days of less than 5 minutes, the average time between posts has now slipped out to beyond 6. There is hope.

2 inches taller than JVR. Jack Oatey medallist (BOG) in 2022 Redlegs premiership, playing ruck.

Just what all these spot fires need...

...and certainly have no time for the 7% solution. [Look it up]

Thanks, @Meggs. And it was incorrect disposal from where everyone was standing!

3 blow-outs. Very happy for the AFL.

Alyssia Pisano, in (clichéd😄) post-match modesty on her first goal: 'It was just good to get on the end of it'. Not doing herself justice: her clever get/evade/pass started the chain in the pocket; then she buttered up to be in it again at the end.

Terrible, esp after her Geelong effort. Related: any news on Zanker arm (elbow?)? Season 9 turning out to be 2024-men's-like!
