Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Reckon our Rd 2 pick might have been an agenda item in one of those pre-trade chats?

...so long as he's not the Alpha in the group and the others head west to join him?

Can we have his 44 2025 goals? Wasted on him, it seems? 😉

Obviously, the smaller the player, the bigger the need for a nickname! Let me redress that? When Xavier Taylor becomes captain, they'll call him 'E'. XTC.

Yep - see @spirit of norm smith's post. It surprised me, as he did it in the first game, though then went on to play three(?) more. He kept referring to it as 'a meniscus'. Would there have been a pre-surgery period for swelling to go down? And a long period after, of load off?

It would be rather 'Melbourne', wot, if it were... TRELLY-HO!

...and arguably tipped the selection (and was first with the Bailey Humphrey link, too: not you, Twomey!)

As at the date of this (13 Nov) he was 'learning to walk again after surgery'. So, not a big pre-season ahead of him?

Yep. An hour of my life I won't get back...

Offer him First Class, just to be sure.

...and, steadily, one for which Casey Fields ain't so foreign! Gippy RULES!

'Twas a clever-d*** inquiry as to veracity. That worked well.

Do tell us you had some AI help, please, 666! That'd be impressive enough. Otherwise... 🤯

...and written, arranged, recorded, engineered and produced in well under 24 hours! Psychic?

Truly?

I received a 'personal' email from the Club, ostensibly for my 19 years' membership, headed, "This is what 2025 looked like for you ❤️‍🔥" One of the several things listed contained an 'eggcorn' (I've just learnt that word - it comes from someone who misheard that little thing from which big oaks grow! It's 'mondegreen''s cousin) We're familiar with eggcorns on here, I reckon! Under a picture of Steven King, are the words, 'We handed over the reigns'. On reflection, cleverly deliberate by Melbourne Media perhaps? Yeah...nah.

Highlights are SANFL (Glenelg) 'twos' level, I believe. I'm looking forward to the recruiting team's observations on his readiness for and path into our AFL 'ones'. Might be a short-term element of 'project'? But exciting in the bigger picture!

DS, presumably you, and several like-mindeds on here, have the fire in your bellies for the Dees more widely, so perhaps you just need to throw these in?...

Rooey to be #26 in '26? Jed should have got the gig.

It's a pretty exposed site and a not very attractive area at the moment. Like their colours...

Clearly the other teams are worried about us: number swapping a tried and true method for throwing spies off. On the other hand, a risky strategy for Melbourne. The 1958 GF says hello...

Problematic hearts and exciting football; a volatile mix, DeeZ! You seem made of strong stuff, then! 🤞 from me, too, compadre.

I saw your last line as 'I'm really over this stuff'. Glad I re-read it!

Loving the sentiments here! I was at the other three but circumstances kept me away this time(*) I was resigned after last week, and even more so when I snuck a look at yesterday's 1/2-time score. It was a beautiful replay watch last night. It was some game. The immediate aftermath on the field did look grand-final-win-ish! *...and will do so again this week, dammit! p.s. I'm not crying about a Hawks straight sets! (except Westy and Casey S)
