No KW again?

That's part of the key, isn't it? In the absence of the complete package that a Max brings, the componentry priorities for the mere mortals filling the gap/s would appear to be: First. Providing a disruptive contest with the presumed dominant tap/take oppo ruck (combined with suitably modified structures around) Second. Providing a full-ground presence (preferably marking presence) that forces oppo ruck to chase, or oppo positional players into uncertainty Third. Providing impactful follow up at stoppage (an 'extra midfielder'). And each of these requires the ability to do so for (it seems) 70% game time. How do our various bigger players, untried and tried, stack up?

Thinking before speaking. On here, Master? Shirley you jest!

'Deride' is harsh on us, DP. I feel it presents us as worthy of 'ovation', at least. 'Missiles', too, though unclear as to where along its ('their'?😄) evolution! Exit, stage right.

There is a good reason for it, no? 😉

Thank you, DP. You are not alone. Though we may be... But not without a fight: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/the-original-definition-of-decimate#:~:text=The issue that many people,mean “to destroy a large (...Though perhaps more informative than supportive!!)

Ouch! Anyway, tonight I think I heard a door closing...

Good enough that Suns' desire to keep him would have increased?

To say the least! I presume while this is presented as a team, to meet deadline requirements, it's actually a squad, at least at bench level. Otherwise, who could the other 3 be with JVR??? p.s. Lukeskywalker (Wooker?) now progressing as some here had expected he should have been 3 to 4 hours after the telephone call. 😉

Fair point. Answer, anyone?

My Demons-mad sister (with Cats-mild spouse, I'm afraid...) lives, longtime, opposite the 'farm' that Jeremy Cameron managed to johnnycomelately by somehow. A better phrase for that neck of the woods would be 'pleasantly-wooded acreage'. Nothing so utilitarian as 'farm', or the hard labour associated with that!

Ahem! 'through' Tsk.

Ditto, ET. Wow. We are the natural home for hyphens.

There's a Circle of Parity developing here... Coach (and Team) act, successfully. Demonland: "Where was that in the last month" and/or "Too little, too late" and/or "Yeah, but what about next week?" and/or... Coach... Demonland: 😉

Yes, please.

Number 44. Remind you of anyone so numbered in their first year?...

After Round 5: Melbourne, 2nd; Hawthorn, 16th. Now yapping (screeching?) at our heels. Thank goodness for '%' (save any more '92 points'...)

4,871 gloriously wasted moments of entry into this here Demonsphere.

...though not bad for zero TOG:

Not actually; it's just how it field.

Sorry, @WalkingCivilWar; did you say Kentfield trained? Surely rushing things?! 😉

...where, btw, Ollie Sestan would have looked up to him. In more ways than one, too.

Xavier College & Kew Rovers then Old Xavs in the Ammos.

@Winners at last: The late great Sid James came into this life as Solomon Joel Cohen 🙂
