My kids started on, and stayed with, 'big' brother, DUPLO. Never progressed to LEGO (my wallet said thank you). They did turn out OK, nonetheless; no evident developmental (brick?) walls hit. My grandkids on the other hand; at the least excuse, yet another new themed (and usually franchised) box appears. My wallet now says thank you again, to their parents and the other set of grandparents!

Middle name Stephen, or Sam, or Sean, or some such? Surely!

I'm hoping he regularly does the unbelievable. Then he'll earn 'Free' Say 'em together, quickly...

This particular exchange rings a bell... 😏

What fun! Well done, MFC - and LEGO! I just hope they're not left lying around on the change room floor...

No.

What's the venue like, ET? Good playing surface?

Nice! Though bittersweet for Shane...

My emoji finger gets tired easily. So thanks everyone! 🥈

What's a Captains Run for a match sim? Won't be much short of a normal training, numbers-wise? Presumably all the available 'probables' and all the 'possibles' vying for pretty well every position? Let us know who's there!

There you go, then!

What would have happened if McAdam had done his achilles on Saturday?...

Virtual certainty, I'd say. Only the months-long-foreshadowed-spoken-for #34 available earlier. A Werribee Pod is a bonus. The only other thought (another nod to the Werribee alma mater): #50?

Thanks, bd. I miss by a tad or two. But, simple times, weren't they. Full of jolly good fellows and sports. And what the horizon then held for the MFC!

Henderson-as-ANB? His GF tackling contributed to his Goss medal.

Yep. The ANB link specifically noted by Taylor, although in terms of character rather than footy. But the various highlights videos show a lot of similarities there, too. And, according to JT, not a fumbler. Might avoid ANB's early 'whipping boy' years?!

Not at all?

According to 'Richo', 'Shane is...looking forward to getting stuck into his rehab'. So hard to imagine that to be the case about such a long process, and at 29. So much credit to him if, on 13 Feb 2026, he's back where he was on that day a year earlier. Hopefully Spargo and McAdam have the sort of relationship that the former's 2024 experience, and his getting back to where he is now, can support the latter through 2025.

Going by the jumper, it really has been slack of the media department. He was at the Club already last year!

Actually, Roost, I'd wondered if we'd SSP'd one of Neil Chordy's offspring...

...who'd be the D-7th?

This talk of scheduling for heat. We can look forward to games on breakfast television when the Roos are relocated as the North Australia team.

Stocks were getting thin, since those heady half-dozen days, weren't they, wwsw?😄
