Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Silver medal for you, Trident 😄

That is a very good get, reynolds! Straight to the top of the plus side of the ledger. Did he and our putative coach work together? Well?

...and a Norm Smith for Trac. In a winning side.

Good get, Doc. Qualifies for the 'Who??' list, immune from the ledger.

Really? Well, what symmetry if our putative next coach can deliver 6 premierships!

Memories, to the max! Thank you, Mr Stone!

Sorta what I was getting at 😄 How could I have forgotten Grundy?! Where to put him on the ledger?

So, I see, did Henry Coles! (as well as #3?)

Speaking of... In his on-line thingy with Jimmy Bartel (so overtly at the 'G - grrrr...) he is adamant that an appointment will be made 'before the grand final'. I suppose one could say, 'Well, derrr!' But he may also have some 'inside'. He's much fluffier on the who and the coach and coach/management mix, though. More of what 'Collingwood' has/n't given us.

What happened to '29, Goffy? Don't stint! A '28-to-'31 four-peat has a particularly relevant ring to it, 100 years on.

Just watched on Youtube. 200th game. Some celebration, too! Happy to move him, ledger-wise.

Yep. Particularly after sitting through the '23 qualifying final. Never again... Gonna have to do some brain-rinsing, then, if he gets the job.

Tough life... 😞

With an iconic Magpie hovering over the Demons (and we all know what they want to do from there, come springtime!) I thought it might be diverting to reflect on what black-and-whiters have donned the red and blue, and whether it has ended happily. Peter Moore might be on the plus side of the ledger (though his offspring is doing a good job on that legacy). And Gary Pert at least presided over a premiership organisation. The others I could think of are variously from somewhat to deeply into the other side of the ledger: Phil Carman, Mark Neeld, Chris Dawes, Heretier Lamumba, Ben Kennedy. I looked up some others: in the 'Too-long-ago-to-judge' category are the pre-First-World-War Abbott siblings, Les and Clarrie, our 1921-23 captain-coach, Percy Wilson, and Pies four-peat member Billy Libbis, in '33-'35; in the 'Who??' category are Wayne Gordon and John Dellamarta. Any others? Discuss?

If our president - what are his initials again? -were to have a say, well...

I appreciate and agree with the sentiment, Balls. However, it seems to have started already...

Apologies if someone has had a go at this earlier... After he speaks out too positively, too early: "F@#$! I've Got Job At Melbourne!"

If we get fig, I hope he gets us flying!

Cliff. %age 30 after 4 rounds! Recovered to 12th with 4 wins against teams below/equal. A similar start for them would be nice!

Gosh. An interesting prioritisation. The 'G will become a very different place for the boys in their second half...

Nice! https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1859249/10-seasons-strong-game-on?videoId=1859249&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1754902495001

Pretty sure you won't need to set up a panel and process for a search, Froggy. He gave a pretty categorical 'No' on the Footy Classified snippet. Though we are talking the world of AFL here...

Luggage nowhere in sight for him today, either!

Equalisation continues to parade its wares this round. Age tipping has 6 of the 9 games 14-0 and the other 3 are 13-1 (us - thanks Sam McClure!), 12-2 and 11-3. Mind you, the 11-3 was in Collingwood's favour, LOL. With the Hawthorn tippers at margins of 1, 5 and - gutsy play, Stokes! - 12.

Goldrick: saw what you did there! 😄
