My hurt heads...

Maybe a farewell via a 2023 VFL premiership? Hibberd - Managing for 'back end of the season' Oliver - Expected full training tomorrow

If they could have cropped it, perhaps 'yes'. But, as is, I'm with you, DeeZ!

Hmmm...Dunno... The farther you let this go on, Stone, well...

I did. Done.

Did you see my PM, @Demonstone?

In an ABC Mid West interview he credits Christian Salem in his development. That wouldn't have hurt his time and bravery evolution!

'...plenty of midfield time...' for WA in 2019 U16 Nationals. '...wing and half back...' for East Fremantle. Also a junior water polo champ.

And still so, evidently! Check out 'Galleries' at the bottom of the Club website: Why else would that photo be singled out and posted, in a space normally pure Dees?! 😎😉

p.s. Using the link instead of navigating through AFL sites, I think you have to download, open, then switch from 'offline' to 'online'. And it's 'Match videos' rather than 'Videos'. Full replay is 2nd or 3rd vid down.

https://www.afl.com.au/fixture?Competition=7&CompSeason=55&MatchTimezone=MY_TIME&Regions=2&ShowBettingOdds=1&GameWeeks=11&Teams=88&Venues=70#byround ...and scroll down to the game and click on videos.

Logical extension, and progeny, of the Gather Round and Equalisation.

Just watched the bit of the last quarter I missed. Noticed the coupla good things Benny did in the last minutes, but particularly noticed his personal and team-directed happiness after the siren. Great club man. Happy to be involved and doing his bit wherever that may be.

Probably for the other game thread, Brownie, but I think 'snap' is a bit harsh. He had, and took, his time, and on second and subsequent looks I reckon the angle was less, and the distance to the closing defender greater, than they first appeared. Though 'Chin' did look somewhat less than congratulatory...

...following finals potentially played at theirs, of course (including Collingwood). The above confirms top 2 highly desirable, top 4 essential. (p.s. Thanks, all, for this thread)

...though susceptible to Crows or Power poaching forays? (Seriously, though, looks a player, and her interview on the club's website is engaging)

I've just picked this one out of a handful of like-minded posts (perhaps the poster's moniker resonated!) That's where I'm at, too. And if there's one thing 'old' gives us, it's time-won insight that what we supporters 'project' onto them is probably very different from where our twenty-something players' and our 'been-there-done-that-I'm-actually-the-ones-involved-here' coaching and football staff's heads are actually at. Check out Maysie's post-game for a 'soother'. (I cower now for the blow-back...)

Thread - Bye This Week?

Demon Army BIG and doing us proud!

Good fun, as ever, @Demonstone, Thanks! But get into some real fun and get a dog. Or a chook, eh, @WalkingCivilWar? Or even a cat (we have a Benny in the family😁) What would you name them? (cue more fun!)

I hope this thread has been emotionally in the right direction for you, Chook (and other 'Landers who are missing their FFs, like @jane02)? And underneath that avatar, eh?...

...and in the meantime, the Premiers front up as 2022 Victorian Sport Awards Team of the Year finalists on 7 June. Something else they're 2023 favourites in, surely.

Offenbach, on the other hand...

My question, too! Best I can do is that it was riffing on the OP's '...welcoming new ones as they inevitably arrive.' Now, come on everyone, back to being (dare I say it)... Petty.
