On this day in 1994 ...
Ah, the '90s, when I rusted my three '80s-born kids onto the Dees (for which they don't always thank me...)! Jako's 8 were in R1 in an 11-goal dominance of eventual grand finalists, Geelong (we fell to premiers, West Coast, all 3 times, however...) He had 4 against the Hawks, as did do-we-remember-him-30-gamer Greg Doyle.

CHANGES: Rd 03 vs GWS
Haven't seen this referenced anywhere else: Today's club website 'Stats That Matter' article features the combined 50 pressure acts of Charlie and ANB. Impressive, numerically and to watch, particularly in Charlie's case.

AFLW: QF vs Fremantle
...And at the 'G, would it be??????

AFLW: QF vs Fremantle
One of only 2 teams to play every other finalist, and best W/L in doing so. Subject to COVID in QLD (at least), and success next weekend, difficult PF travel looms for both, but a Melbourne/Collingwood GF is a possibility? 'Do It For Robbie' reborn: 'Do It For Daisy'! - this week, at least, as there's some prospect of her being available for a PF. Notable that the Brisbane fightback and win came with her off after 2 minutes...

AFLW: Rd 04 vs Western Bulldogs
"Crowds locked in for Round 4" I hope there isn't a fire... Or a riot when the Dees roll 'em by goals...

TRAINING: Wednesday 17th February 2021
I'm sure this image of deelightful deeversity warrants some respectful humour but blewed if I can come up with it myself!

AFLW: Rd 03 vs North Melbourne
Just as straight ahead, fearless and fast - and also as what'll-happen-next - as RR but also Irish (yeah, yeah, I know SW was from Scotland) with the black hair. And not so bad in the air?

OD, so much metaphor(?) in so little time ?

Drop Kicks
For me, these rememberings highlight that possession-footy-past was about having the better person/people where the ball might end up, in contrast to possession-footy-present, which is having disposal rules and skills suited to keepings off. This included the forward line, where 'kicking to (unflooded!) space' was the operative phrase, with the forward/s moving to the space, able to compensate for inaccuracy in the kick (the exception, e.g. D3031's example, being the accurate (and rapid!) stab).

Drop Kicks
Don't forget the equally relic subset, the stab pass! Any in the posted footage? I haven't checked.

Player Numbers 2021
Ditto, OD but, like me, wouldn't you add Hassa's 29 and perhaps John Lord's 4?

2020 Members Forum
I think this was the most recent 'new facilities' post before - cough! - some other stuff got in the way? Has anyone got any thoughts where the development could possibly be, given the (apparent) 'proximity-to-MCG' requirement? What is undeveloped already, except Gosch's site itself?

AFLW: 2021 Fixture
Is anyone aware of how (if??) the match-ups were made to avoid the imbalances that the first year of conferencing led to?

Kade Kolodjashnij Retires
Ouch!?... ...And I think he actually says he and Jake have invested in an (existing) family business. So not so risky, that support by the club! Maybe an investment in a future sponsor? (cue discussion on how we might 'use' an insect repellent association...?)

Looking for 1997 wins
Can't help. But a wooden spoon year? Ploise exploin!

Rhyan Mansell
I presume you meant the first name, not the second? If the second, not Nigel, I presume. It certainly is an 'active' one much more locally, where Rhyan hails from! Any relation? And another Indigenous lad therefore?

Punt Road redevelopment
Re OP, not as an indicator of government attitude, I would say. At best, a negotiation leverage for Rennick, Mahoney, et al, if well grasped (to go with all those OTHER leverages listed above!) Seems to be strongly based on its community credentials in the Gamadji and Houli aspects, while our plans are viewable, by those who might want to, as self serving. Fascinating that a club that has won 3 of the last 4 flags can make a case for "...improvements and much needed upgrades to (its) men's...football facilities..."
