Does being 'an injury top-up' player have particular conditions about continuation - or, more particularly, non-continuation? Does anyone know anything more about Grace's circumstances?

I'm thinking you did get the allusion, Bin, but, just in case... An allusion directed at me by my parents in my dietarily carefree youth. Insert yummy foodstuffs.

This is very impressive and appreciated, George. Out of curiosity, what info sources are you tapped into?

An alternative origin of your 'Nom de D'land', Bin?

'Marley...relocated to Melbourne at the beginning of the year in a bid to further his football and education.' Just possibly, 'Xavier relocated Marley...to further its football...'? 😉

Chaos for the Dees' catering team: how many redundant BBB vegan meals left in the freezer, and taking space needed now for the caveman cuisine?

From Neos Kosmos: 'Growing up in Collingwood, he is also naturally a huge Collingwood supporter. 'He remembers the days when he used to go to Victoria Park as a kid, after his dad finished work on a Saturday, and stand on beer cans to be able to see the action. '“That was a bonding of father and son, going to the footy, which I do with my son now, so that’s been carried forward.” 'Kanga, is a successful racehorse owner, and has tried to involve his mates at the Collingwood Football Club in racing, and according to him, “they didn’t need much convincing.” 'He counts Collingwood coach Craig McRae and list boss Justin Leppitsch among his friends, owning a number of shares in horses together, including a horse that finished second in this year’s Group 1 Caulfield Guineas.' Very hard not to be cynical...

Sorry if this has been posted before, but... The Mt Scopus plans don't seem to be a problem for the Club: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1703615/caulfield-business-plan-update-mount-scopus

Can you elaborate, SONS?

Of the many and varied things that attract one to, hold them to, or drive them from a place, the girl/boyfriend one has at age 21 is one of the less reliable, I would suggest? Oldfart cynicism (/regret/wistfulness/envy)

Ironic surprised emoji required.

So that's the 2024 quinella: RIP 'Gus and Gawny' and 'Lil Life Chats'. Anyone starting a book on who might get a gig in 2025?

We await the Club signing @red and blue forever's licensing agreement! 😄

The nickname 'Adjective' is a possibility...

I see the 'I'm thinking about that' emoji has dropped out of the drop-down!

And occasionally, no doubt... Time off his head.

No! Getouttahere!

...And from what I hear on here, that'd be the surest way for him not to be available to us! 😄

Will Collingwood bear a grudge for Sam Weideman?

I presume Warner warrants a thread because of possible flow-on benefits to us? Anyways, see my post on the 'Petty Back??' thread. Warner golfed with (ex-Swan) Eagles. And more decision-maker types than Harry teed off with!

Yes, no need to worry on Uncle's behalf, @640MD; I rather see him comfortably armchaired, pairing said asides/insults/accusations with a nice St Henris shiraz.

He'd be asking @picket fence, wouldn't he? I believe that's one of his slitheras.

How are media folks able to write with such certainty? If it's actual knowledge, why don't they elaborate? If it's actually speculation, then their certainty is borderline lying.

👏 and 🥈, all reporters! Has there ever been a pre-season attract this much interest and enthusiasm? A silver lining of the Year of Grief?

MBJMcV! Say it ain't so! (*) (*) You almost do so, @Lucifers Hero, but...
