It's fascinating to observe in this thread the phenomenon of distinct positions continuing to be presented, each continuing to be unaffected by the ones from which it differs. 'This is what I think. I am immune to what you think.' FWIW, though, I'm in the 'I-don't/can't-know-what-he's-thinking-now-but-fact-is-he's-contracted-largely-happy-and-pretty-sure-we're-pretty-good-negotiators' camp.

At least there'll be other 'interesting' loud noises - and overhead activity? - around to distract us from the sounds and sights ground management normally bombards us with...

Interesting he was singled out as the 'hook' for the Club website's report of Friday's match sim, for his two goals in quick succession.

Hunt pretty big there. Melksham's 'airy' handball. The look on Oliver's face: reminiscent of his 'chat' with Dangerfield as Gawn lined up for his after-the-siren heroics. Good times.

Should have held on to it, BLWNBA:

Look out, Rick, he's behind you!

Or, don't bother actually doing it but tell the media we are.

Careful, Mr Stone; you're getting dangerously close to a NoT$NoB$ishness. And I know how you feel about that! 😄

Here you go, then. But how's your cholesterol?

But Perty's leaving peaceably, isn't he?

Wilderness looks even more wilderness-y from the oasis of 6 premierships in the first 11 years of one's life. As to the OP news piece; aren't they clever how they turn a piece about a player and his game into being about coach, club and other players. Skill.

Adams getting into May. Looks like he's going to feel confident and at home in our backline!

A very proud one - at a team and personal level - also tracking to come to an end: Jack Crisp due to pass Jimma's consecutive games record in Round 8. 😒

Culley was 34 in White? (Only temporarily, of course; 34 will soon be on White...)

Came up on a website sidebar: I didn't dare open it, though...

Side(bottom?)-tracking even further, there's the odd player who must have had Rev. Spooner officiating at their christening! Dom Tyson?

According to 'the people's bible', aka wikipedia, 'Tomlinson currently studies a Bachelor of Property and Real Estate / Bachelor of Commerce at Deakin University'. I guess you could do a Masters in that? Or change it up? Quantum Physics?

Yep. As loss-of-player outcomes become greater for clubs, would there be matching outcomes for the clubs causing the concussions? Melbourne: loses Brayshaw permanently. Collingwood: retains Maynard seamlessly. Answers own question.

This. Do.

🎶 There'd be nothing like a Crown,for picking him up and putting him down!🎶

Too much to hope for, an apology from Ralphy? And maybe, while he's at it, a general admission, that they all do this, ALL THE TIME!?

It's interesting how blessed we've been with really great players - multiple genuine options in all positions. This quarter century, then, particularly between '06 and '18, tells a story about our difficulty in bringing enough of them together at the same time and under the right conditions...
