Trade Targets
Yes, although wasn't he less effective 'around the ground' than our boys?

Trade Targets
I 'called' this, too, after seeing his BOG effort in their 2022 GF win, noting he was a VIC (Shepp?) boy, too. But I also think there's been some critical reviewing of him on here since then?

Allen Jakovich’s 30th Anniversary
Here's some more contemporary fun with Jako, too. Multiple reasons to enjoy! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DBsvJw6coz5s&ved=2ahUKEwiLsaOPoq2HAxVQsVYBHSkOA3w4ChC3AnoECAQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw37G8mJoU2OCvQluGXrW0Nj

Allen Jakovich’s 30th Anniversary
Yep. A very successful career, long and even into coaching - maybe even still, I think.

Allen Jakovich’s 30th Anniversary
Sorry if some or all of this was in the OP article; not unusually, I couldn't open it. But here's that day: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.afl.com.au/video/194710/dees-freak-allen-jakovich-dobs-11-goals-and-an-insane-bicycle-kick-1991%3FvideoId%3D194710%26modal%3Dtrue%26type%3Dvideo%26publishFrom%3D1563440400001&ved=2ahUKEwi69b3rhK2HAxUd6zgGHVm7CEMQtwJ6BAgeEAE&usg=AOvVaw2MtvSapfNkT7WGnrzCFybi (I've noticed this before: it's a shame so much of Jako's work was seen and is recorded against the crowd-free background of a new Southern Stand worksite. And speaking of forward lines, Jakovich, Bennett, Lyon, Spalding, eh?)

POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon
Re the '50', I agree with you all (apologies for not quoting you all individually). I've always assumed it came partly from the measurement reference provided the 50m square and 50m arcs (so it'd be nice, btw, if the umpires used these, consistently and accurately!) So a reference convenience would be retained with 'half 50' - 25m. 15m provided a gain of a minimum markable kick; the 50m change took it all the way to a 'full' kick. I like the idea that a 'middling' penalty would disrupt the set-ups. Re Saturday's game (surely this has been jumped on already, so apologies) I loved our forwards getting the job done, tradesman-like. You know who I mean; Fritta and Turner?

Oh. You mean when half the French attack? 🙂

I'm gonna do the post-Clausewitz thing, then, @Little Goffy. I need my day!

I can't split that gunn pair so I'm going with Brenn! Thanks for the 'red'ucation, too! And now the pain continues into another day...

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon
They haven't really got into the bed yet. Six wins were WC (twice, and 6 points first time and equal scoring shots second time) North, Richmond (by only 2 goals), Saints and Adelaide. Bulldogs (9.13) had more scoring shots. Credit for GWS win, but their (rematch-after-the-draw) win last week, over tonight's losers, might be colouring the footy world's perception. Tomorrow is 'Ninight' time.

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon
...except this guy 😟: Gale guided Richmond out of debt and into financial stability, and boldly predicted in 2010 that the club would claim three flags by 2020. His words would eventually ring true when, after taking out the 2017 flag, the Tigers and coach Damien Hardwick also claimed back-to-back premierships in 2019 and 2020.10 May 2024

Demonstone's YACK (Yet Another Cryptic Kerfuffle)
Could you go as far as saying which of the three - 'Northey-Balme era', 'Daniher stalwart', and 'currently playing' - applies to which of the three clues? No apologies necessary. It's all fun!

Been meaning to ask for an explanation of these monikers for ages: 'Crom', Flagmantle' and 'Pear'.

Demonstone's YACK (Yet Another Cryptic Kerfuffle)
So the remaining ones are: * Rolling attack of the French! * Or leave et. (Is this fully correct?) * Little red truck. And, as per the OP, they're all on our list since 2000?

Could you do a morning update of your answers, please, @Little Goffy? I need to apply my remaining Little Grey cells sparingly!

Adam Simpson departs West Coast
The flip of this was that the 'departure' came the week after playing us. I feel like we've always been the oppo the week after departures, and the recipient of beatings by caretaker coaches. Borne out by the facts? (bit like our ability to play players or teams back into form or to provide spuds their one and only 'big game').

Christian Petracca’s 2024 Season Ending Injuries
Looks pretty happy with things to me - almost 'Smile File' worthy! Although, possibly won't be taking Melky's place in the box, this week at least...
