...and shared many other stories over the years, I guess, Ethan? A rich Dees background for you, then. 😊

The ultimate quiz: can anyone name any of the seven clearly identifiable. Here, I think, might be the 'pool' to draw from?

Confirmed: add Mackin and Zanker. Do we have the longest and/or most impactful injury list in the league?

Time for this again, I think..

Wow.

😌 'Dream' emoji, please, @Demonland

He's a specialist at it! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.afl.com.au/news/1162963/big-st-kilda-saint-tom-campbell-on-unexpected-guest-life-as-a-back-up-and-whats-next/amp

Chances of JJ being the sub? I think him getting a played role in a premiership is my sole interest in this game. My interest otherwise was fulfilled with the exit of Geelong.

Plane talking, as always, Mr Stone.

Reinforced.

Shelley Heath off injured? 😟

...and they were? (I, like hopefully many others, am an X re X)

You've caused me to re-read the article, Katrina, thank you. When I posted it, I'd thought it supportive of Club and player. But I do now see its opportunism and possible/probable misrepresentation, particularly in the action and motive ascribed to the Club. (I don't have any problem as such, though, with using Davis or his actual(?) words.) I regret my post.

Note to self: Time to put a line through some of the greater expectations for this season and settle back into the pre-2021 MFC supporter vibe of celebrating the 'little wins'. Actual wins are going to be hard to come by.

I sit at your feet, daisy, mind freed, open to receive. Om.

Don't you, quietly, in this one? I do. Come to think of it, isn't league a parallel universe?

We'd probably be barracking for St Kilda. Or Essendon.

I see what you've done there, @binman: Alves; Balme, Barassi; Catoggio, Cordner, Crosswell; Gerard, Goodwin, Gutnick; Watts, Whiteboard, Wednesday. Elegant as well as eloquent.

Calling @Demonstone: What sort of promise does Hollow show?

Money was found for Casey Fields, and a reasonable facility has resulted, whose only (major) knock, it generally seems, is location. Is that capital investment realisable in any way, for reinvestment at Caulfield, with lease-back at Casey for AFLW and VFL?

...and so I thought I'd just give it a try: 'Hullo, Mr Google. Got anything on bananas in a parallel universe?' Guess what?...

Thanks, Bobby. Re my highlight, it continues to surprise me how many of 'our' (broadly speaking) generation contribute on here. It is a great leveller, this new-fangled intreenet thingy: we all seem 'of an age' be we actually 20, 40, 60 or 80.

Ah; parallel universes. Now we're talkin'!

I presume we had other plans for September when the venue was arranged...
