Do you have any nieces named 'May-eve' or 'Sin-ed' WCW? 🤔😉 (Asked cheekily but with utmost personal regard 😁)

Mark O'Connor almost achieved it this year (gag!...) after a BOG in an All Ireland Minor Final win for Kerry. The minor final is the curtainraiser for the major final.

Alright, then; Fawkner Park? NW corner, say, with Admin and indoor football facilities in St Kilda Rd office precinct (conversion, or demolish/new). Though my real money's on the 'G redevelopment per earlier post.

'Armagh Premiership player!' (say it out loud 😁)

Big grins here, and a thank you, @Mazer Rackham Ditto to your respondents. I join them with: 21 pending posts on the Smile File

I know you weren't referring to yesterday's outcome, W. However, now only one remaining! 😁 I've thought to spend it on you, that you have a deserved good time with The Girls. But you won't need that wish, so it remains in my pocket for The Boys in 2023

Loving the passion here and in other related threads. Delivered at the ground and through the ether, I reckon it'll provide that required 1%. Place and time didn't pan out for me, and I'll be 'on stage' throughout, but I'll have the live score pinned. Demon Spirit, your time has come.

Pitty... 😁

@Demonstone, @Mazer Rackham, @Lucifers Hero, @La Dee-vina Comedia, @layzie, @tilly18, @Deemania since 56, @Ethan Tremblay, @mo64, @Neil Crompton, @reynolds46, and a few others from previous quizzes who I can't immediately bring to mind: Actually, not such a bad participant list, that (maybe we're not as far as I thought from putting together a 'What links this group' team of our own?!) but what could we do to attract more players? Cash prizes? Or liquid ones? (quality of course, Sir@Bitter but optimistic and your more retiring 'Lander comesting fraternity)

Mazer (rat!), this solution near ruined dinner. Really, you upset the eating. Get thee elsewhere!

And sorry I missed this one @Demonstone. I've just this last hour arrived back from a warm and sunny (sorry, southern and northern Victorians and inland NSWelsh) mid-north coast NSW road trip, tech free. Congrats @Lucifers Hero, @layzie and @La Dee-vina Comedia, and, unrewardedly, @Mazer Rackham. Such 'white bread' names in the team, I doubt I would have made the connection before any of you, although 'Stone's original clueing is rather generously heavy in hindsight! So, now, time for me to bat on, apparently!

Calling 2015 National Draft pick number 24, Ben Keays...

I'm with @durango

Thanks DL. It seems to be everyone. My Roamin Brian conundrum thread led to a few instances. 'Nascent' was the most recent, and was a new correspondent. 'Tim'

When I try to 'PM' anyone now, I get the message '@xxxx cannot receive messages'. Even with 'Landers who I've successfully PM-ed to and with previously I get this message if I try to new-message them. I can continue to PM them by continuing an existing message thread, though. And I can receive messages from new and previous correspondents and then proceed with message threads with them. Help?

...prior to which, according to his birth certificate, he was Stanley St Kilda Bruce. One of the more prescient uses of Deed Poll.

Stanley Melbourne(*) Bruce, the 10th person to be our PM, 12th PM overall. * Just understood your specific choice, @Nascent 👏🏽

You missed my earlier reply to Demonstone, Luci. From my original post: 'PMs only, please'

Keeping things honed for your nextie, Mr Stone. I like it. Bring it on!

Here you go, Neil. And many thanks for taking an interest! 😊 B: S. SMI(1001)TH A. TOMLI(1051)NSON T. RIV(4)ERS HB: D. TERLI(51)CH J. RIV(4)ERS O. MC(1100)DONALD C: C. ELLI(51)S C. OLIV(54)ER A.

I'm interstate next weekend, at a wedding pretty well exactly on game time and on a beach and quite intimate, so little opportunity to sneak a look. I will be pinning the scores on my phone, though! As to the grannie, like everyone else I'm hanging out for city, day (though I presume it'll be Saturday), and time of day. We've got a (rare, dammit) gig on Sunday and the very real need for a practice on the Saturday. Per an earlier post, then, an early Saturday evening at Docklands would be very nice, thank you!

...and of a sauna.

'PMs only'?! 😄 D does 'fit' but doesn't qualify: the link was correct numerals of 2 or more letters. MC (1100) is correct but MCD ain't.

Per your PM, Mr Stone, you are correct, and the Double Laurel is yours to wear proudly. As you pipped @Mazer Rackham by a couple of hours, the Single Laurel is yours, Mazer. And, yes, the McDonalds all qualify for their 'Mc' but not the 'D'; hence the need for CAPS in the original team, and my subsequent post was a roundabout hint in this regard. (As @spirit of norm smith failed to respond in the allotted XX hours, his prize drops to being dropped from the gameday Colosseum team. So he gets to fight another day!) And thank you both for your better-late-than-never involvement. I would have been very disappointed had either of you not been in the MIX.

(NO YOU HAVEN'T. 'LUCI'. INDEED, YOU'VE AGAIN SAVED ME FROM 'THAT' EMBARRASSMENT 😁) YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT ABOUT @spirit of norm smith'S POST. I'LL HOLD THE SINGLE LAUREL WREATH FOR HIM FOR XX HOURS TO ALLOW HIM TIME TO PM ME WITH FURTHER 'EVIDENCE', TO 'CONVINCE' ME. IVE ALSO JUST NOTICED, BY THE WAY, LUCI, YOUR QUALIFICATION FOR A BRIAN TEAM. IT'D BE AN AFLW TEAM, THEN, AND LILY MITHEN WOULD JUST HAVE TO BE CAPTAIN, BUT YOU COULD BE VICE! IT SHOULD HAVE PAID ALREADY, MY SALTING OF CLUES THROUGH THE THREAD, PARTICULARLY THE ONE AT THE VERY START. IT SEEMS TO HAVE FALLEN ON DEAF EARS (NOT AS MANY CRYPTIC CROSSWORDERS ON HERE AS I THOUGHT, THEN...) IVE MENTIONED HIM BEFORE, BUT i SHOULD HAVE GIVEN CREDIT TO THE YEAR ONE PLAYER IN PARTICULAR PUT IN. A TRUE MILLENIAL. (APOLOGIES FOR THE CAPS. MIGHT HAVE TO FIX THAT...)
