Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

That's sobering, isn't it... Although, it is offset somewhat by the draft outcomes that followed. And perhaps a bit harsh on Langdon's, Melksham's, May's and Lever's participations. Ironic, too, that this discussion is in this thread. His was a loss I don't think we (eventually) felt we suffered for! 😄

Goodwin was pretty specific (for him) in his presser on trading being part of this year's post season activity, even noting it as as distinct from concentration on the draft in the last few. Does team selection have anything to do with keeping trade prospects 'on show'?

Of course, GD. My point was that that particular number was so readily used by him, as opposed to, say, the more obviously rounded - and desirable - '300'. This, supported by him saying 'plus 50 games at Casey' ('rationalising' himself past a '300'), hinted at him recognising (expecting?) an end short of the opportunity to reach 300 in 2028.

At the end he says he 'has his head on' 2 more years, 'maybe 3'. Earlier he refers to 290 as his last game, currently on 240, i.e. 2 years including (premiership-winning?!) finals and the occasional 'managed'? So, we have him for 2026 and 2027. Then, maybe 2028 at a stretch.

Bang! Bang! BANG!

Says...?

Morris is losing it. Whatever happened to doubling down?

Brave call, jh10! If memory serves, the word is 'reasonable'. To the naughty corner! 😁

Now you're just trolling. 😄

Stirrer.

You'll be Happy again when we get White?

I'm finding it apauling, too.

Should someone check over on 'Sunland' whether a thread was started after a candlelight dinner around 2007?

...the point, I think, being, #34 becomes vacant...

34 and 50 both taken, so we're good!

Much as I hate to do so, you could add J.Howe to that list. 35 this month.

I gather he's on a 3-week break? If that's the 3rd week, he's got a decision to make!! 😲

Lucky it was Rundle Mall. Any other Adelaide road and he'd be making a no-fault claim with Zurich.

It's only in the last 2 games that we've had more scoring shots but lost. We have had another 6 games where we kicked from between 1 (twice) and 7 more behinds than goals, but we still had less scoring shots. Of the 5 we lost, we had between 4 and 9 (twice) less scoring shots. So, season 2025 has been about much more than accuracy. 2022 to 2024 on the other hand?... Added in edit: Our last place on the (in)accuracy ladder is skewed by just 3 of our 13 results. Had we matched the scoring accuracy of our opponents in those 3 games we would be placing second, on 163 goals 145 behinds, or 52.9%

The bibliophilic equivalent of crossing one's fingers and toes?

Re your 'minority view' sentiments yesterday, @binman, perhaps a minority of the expressed views?😉 Btw, yours and @Kev's debate has remained remarkably civil for one of such length on here! You don't perhaps know each other in real life, do you? 😄

The sock pic gives away one piece of 'kit' obviously not worn, @Dee in a Kilt! You're not a Hamilton btw? That would have been the almonds on the Dundee!

Now it's got to the Casey library, Adam, it's definitely on my Melbourne reading list.
