I think they're dropping 'The' and 'Centre'. They're still 'impressions, BB, but the following has just dropped. Sack the copy-proofer, though; can someone correct?...

Don't worry about this, Rodney. The discussion was about the value of the Club's history (vs looking to its future) to the Club. not to the 'outside world'. It seems to be in good hands in the former.
-
I certainly, even particularly, meant that cohort, Rodney, for what they bring from the Club's history. 'History' in this discussion does them an injustice; they are very much 'present'. Their potential and actual contribution is tangible. The older cohorts, infirm or departed, can still provide models of attitudes to the Club and to life, though, for our cohorts current and yet to come, as they make, then go on to represent, history* for the Club. (*...and now, into the spotlight, herstory)

2060, eh, Dub? There's a fair group on here who'll have to be with you just in 'spirit'. Represent them well! 😇

Not sure he was that good looking, LG, but your fascination does have a place here. He went at 23 in his draft (2000). Our pick before (16) was a good'un...for another club: Scott Thompson. Not a great drafting year for us after the highs of that year, except for another pick deep in the rookie draft...for another club: Darren Jolly. Ross Funke added some naming fun, and Daniel Breese, well... Thereafter, a 'What ever happened to?' list: Mitchell Craig, Nick Gill, Kevin Devine, Mark Berts, Ben Doherty and Tom Marshall.

Thanks!👍 2025 BnF, I presume? Umps' rising star an interesting one.

...and he stepped into those shoes post-1964 for those of us slightly older #subtract2

The Club's history is also represented by a large cohort of past players, whose actual or potential contribution in myriad ways towards the Club's future needs to be recognised and fostered.

...And can our interviewers please, please, please try 'Tell us about...' What is so complicated in every topic that we need to be 'talked through' it?!

During the 8(!) months (so far!) of recovery he says, 'I learnt a lot about myself' and it was 'a blessing in disguise'. Both a mature, self-aware, response in itself, and an agent of further maturing. But is there anything to worry about in that recovery time for a PCL/meniscus injury, still under way and, per the earlier post, only in the last few weeks beginning to 'learn to walk again'? Don't expect too much of him in 2026?
-
Reckon our Rd 2 pick might have been an agenda item in one of those pre-trade chats?
-
...so long as he's not the Alpha in the group and the others head west to join him?
-
Can we have his 44 2025 goals? Wasted on him, it seems? 😉
-
Obviously, the smaller the player, the bigger the need for a nickname! Let me redress that? When Xavier Taylor becomes captain, they'll call him 'E'. XTC.
-
Yep - see @spirit of norm smith's post. It surprised me, as he did it in the first game, though then went on to play three(?) more. He kept referring to it as 'a meniscus'. Would there have been a pre-surgery period for swelling to go down? And a long period after, of load off?
-
It would be rather 'Melbourne', wot, if it were... TRELLY-HO!

...and arguably tipped the selection (and was first with the Bailey Humphrey link, too: not you, Twomey!)
-
As at the date of this (13 Nov) he was 'learning to walk again after surgery'. So, not a big pre-season ahead of him?
-
Yep. An hour of my life I won't get back...
-
Offer him First Class, just to be sure.
-
...and, steadily, one for which Casey Fields ain't so foreign! Gippy RULES!

'Twas a clever-d*** inquiry as to veracity. That worked well.
