@Demonland, please 'Style Manual' my heading! 😁

Here we go! Great banner to get the girls on their way, @WalkingCivilWar and DA colleagues!

...and we have all 3 of today's 'killers', and only 1 of the 'prey', in our 'side' of the draw...

Some 'ouch' scores unfolded and unfolding today. AFL/W might have some equalisation challenges ahead of it.

Aren't we a broad church! I'm (typically) in the middle pews on this. The beacon / dark days reference had me wondering, though: should Nathan Jones try to arrange the proverbial seat and coffee with Christian?

Yep, it was to watch the Geelong game and hear from KR. Were you there?

What does 'officially nominated' mean, particularly in the same sentence as 'preferred'? And how does a reporter become the ('official'?) announcer?

The 22 June 2023 event, perhaps, Neil?

This was the sort of spitballing I was interested in. I don't have the knowledge to do actual scenarios and I defer to the many on here who do. I'm looking to see if we could get a draft outcome that produced (JT willing) a decade-together cohort of high quality, of a critical mass (5 or 6?) that could complement our Mouse Pack. It feels like that could produce a force. So, are there any 'real' scenarios of trade-outs and pick upgrades that could produce another 2 first-rounders (for 3 in total) and, say, 2 or 3 second-rounders? Over to you, pundits.

Though...isn't that Collingwood's premises?

...and well done for passing the Cameras On The Coaches Fishbowl Test. The game threw everything at her!

Possibly not? Though...Richmond. And (un)officials.

That's right. I'm sure RM would have liked a more apt metaphor. Executors' auction?

Thanks for starting this, RM. I had a similar thought and wondered where to put it. My version was to ask what suite of picks might we have in a best-case haul from a clear-out of the known and possible want-outs.

Nooooooo!!!

Anyone watching Swans v Pies? I hope the medicos have best-practice diagnostic and management skills for insect inhalation... Serious note: Initial thoughts on the level of this season's skill and game plan improvements? I'm expecting 'noticeable' in both, and a challenge for our girls to keep up, having been leaders in pretty well all the previous seasons.

I think I see what you've done here, JCB/jcb. 👏

(Once again...?) it may as well be me: Brandan: 'an' upgrade on a Brand. Door. Me. Reunited.

No.

Thanks, @Macca, for the topic and its OP and the responses on topic. Tongue in cheek (I think)... I hope JT isn't worrying about his brand.

I've only just seen this, @Demonstone! You went WAY too early with the reveal! 🥺 Nice to have your OP for a wake-up chuckle, though!😄

Casey??😮

Need that particular switch to be flicked, somehow, though. Didn't work too well on Friday, for example...

Maxime horribilis (by far) for Angus, but an annus horribilis footballii for the Brayshaws generally...

👏 ... Amazing how long some things slip through for in this little ever-alert community of ours...
