Sometimes posts are triggering - this was one - that prompt me to consult Dr Google. Had anyone died of the disease named for them?! It was an unfruitful consultation. However, it did throw up lots of fascinating articles in the general subject of disease naming. This BBC article seems typical: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-34913764 There must be a gap in the market for the syndrome - possibly fatal but yet to be proven so? - whose major symptom is participating in and enjoying this thread. A number of names suggest themselves (you know who you are...)

An omen for Friday, then?... It's party time!

It sort of was, wasn't it?!... But on to the nub of your post, Trav; Marxy Gawan has a ring to it!

...so, from here on, I'm, 🎶 Stayin' away, stayin away; ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' aw-ay-ay-ay-ay-aaaaay-ay 🎶

Bound for the Swans, as his third club, next year then?

They've all gone Dees AND none are tipping Roos? Wish I could be quite so sure... Over at The Age, the only 'Experts' tipping Roos are Birch and Kearney. Holding down bottom 2 places, too - 12 particular misses in 13 games played wouldn't have helped. Vested tipsters are always good for a laugh (hopefully not on the other side of our faces this week...)

I presume you mean that the loss of one of the named 23 would be the disaster, not Fullarton getting a game in the ones? He's not that bad, is he? 😉

Ummm... Doesn't this show our opposition to be even less experienced (and, accordingly, likely even younger)? So, another little needle for should/must/please! win?

Them's impressive editing skills right there! Unless @Demonsterative was onto something...

Nah, we love this sort of stiff.

Dunno. But this usually happens... Now we're really getting back on track!

Please don't 'bite', folks. Let it stand as a view - possibly with a personal story attached, as you (and I) have in the thread's subject matter - and move on with the thread's specific purpose on its (strong) merits.

Something about Hurricane Tracy?

...forcing them to call their jelly 'jello'!

Attaboy!

This thread is like 'barley', or parliament with its privilege, isn't it, layze; you can safely say stuff that would elsewhere be roundly slinged and arrowed! 😄

@old dee, @Redleg; you are vertebrae* in this thread! How could you inject the slipped discs of actual football talk into it - and with nerve pinching negativity at that! Back to inanity, gentlemen, please! * (at least part of) the backbone

And this - another player reflecting positively on Greg Stafford: 'Staff's been huge'. I guess it could mean they like what he gives, rather than it necessarily being effective in games, but... https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1581845/demon-debut-hear-from-kynan-brown?videoId=1581845&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1718866510001

The world is sometimes getting better.

Shall I?... I reckon Max'll go 3. Door. Me. Out.

That's what a swingman can do, I guess?! (funny old language, English, innit?) Re the OP article, 'closing in on', as opposed to 'inks' smacks of Club (via AFL) media trawling for good news about us. As to DT himself, goodo!

D****d Autocorrect! (Though I did look it up: the record for his work is $270,000, apparently)

With this weeks 'ins', joining Chin and Kossie, and when that Casey beanpole clicks, all we'll then need is the other young White to join us and 'K' will become the new 'J' at the Dees! (...though oh for the sensible days of Ken, Kevin, Keith, even Kit)

Some elasticity, I guess, yes, though the 2020 environment was beyond what any masterplan could have allowed for... https://www.afl.com.au/news/617093/without-a-nibble-dee-alex-neal-bullen-goes-from-trade-bait-to-first-rate

Fascinating the threads that get preferred ongoing attention to ones like these. Thanks, @DeeZone, and go Pup!
