Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Why do I get a certain vibe each time I see the name 'Danny Daly' (and enhanced if I see 'Fagin' (sic) linked to it)?...

I've just seen the vision (over on the Brad Green thread) of Trac in the Dogs game, accompanying Hodge's 'body language' commentary. I do find it hard to see it as other than damning.

@adonski , @Tarax Club , @mauriesy: 👏 Some may also say he looks good in shorts.

And, to clarify, I presume '8' will be the lower placed of the two wild card winners? (while Brisbane, 6, get the higher placed?) The only alternatives would be pre-ordained match-ups - 5 gets the winner of 7 v 10 and 6 the winner of 8 v 9 or vice versa. That could see 6 getting a lower finisher than 5! Surely not! Although, this is the AFL VFL fixturing machine...

AND a home final, I presume. And against battered wild-carders?

Catching the 2nd half. 3 games in half a day across 3 continents too much for the DA? Cummon guys, lift yer game! 😄

I want to see that scoring that way, but, being there, it definitely didn't feel that way, that Hawthorn dominated only in the first quarter. However, I think prospective coaches (prospective coach?) would be looking at a suite of positive performances over a longer period (as well as of moments within yesterday?)

Me, too HD, though I stayed through. Extraordinary imbalance of numbers, evident from the outset (see my pre-game posts) But 53,000? Maybethe head count had an inevitable 'Tasmanian' element to it?

Although, near silence greeting the announcement of each player. Fair-weather supporters? LOL

It's a sea of 'P' and 'W' here outside the 'G. Is there another team playing? 🤯

On the menu where we're special-occasion pre-game lunching in Richmond: BANANA ICE CREAM! (...avec 'Cardamom tres leches', so a bit distant from the corner milk bar!)

'Banene'? Dolly Bananon.

Paid gigs for the panel externals? 'All care and no responsibility', as they say. And, dare I say it, 'money for (fig)jam'?

So many of them - what, 90%? - taken on the chest with front-end-loader-bucket arms, at highest reach. He'd be entitled to trademark it.

"...has also faced extended periods where they haven't made finals or achieved consistently high results..." AI has a great line in understatement. Or - creepy thought - is it capable of irony?

Disappointed with your choice now, Red?

Time for a licks lips emoji in the drop-down!

Home remedy readily available: ripe banana, good quality vanilla bean ice-cream, milk of choice, whizzer of choice. OK, technically a milkshake, but that's all we ancients had when we Ilved in holes in t'roads.

Ready for when he returns: Cue memes.

The avalanche has begun...

The demeanour of the players right at the end of that clip was interesting to me: they seemed rather 'meh'? Chappy said all the right things, and said them well, but I wasn't surprised by those last seconds.

Increasingly harder to find, the 'gets' are increasingly admirable. Somewhat of a journeyman whose one goodish AFL year was with us. 🤫 about the team's year, however... 👏 QD

...and it wasn't us anyway; it was a team of look-alikes, given away by the incorrect numbers.

May forward? Back to his roots? A couple of 'Neita' years?

Something like this might do it?...
