PREGAME: Rd 24 vs Sydney
I want Tomlinson to succeed (as I do all our players), particularly after his cruel 2021 after early great signs, but... On what it is claimed he does to release Lever, I note that in Jake's biggest intercept quarter today, the last, Adam had been subbed off. Early, too, it looked like body and brain are starting to let him down: Koschitzke(?) got the jump on him more than once. Got some sympathy, though, for the Tommo-as-sub idea (subject to those other tantalising 'ins' prospects...)

Sitting in the cheer squad
...and there's a little face-the-crowd cheer-leader-in-waiting over in our bay. Kept us going nicely. Sign him up, DA!

Sitting in the cheer squad
You can sit at the near edge of the GA bays abutting the DA's bays, like we do. Chants and the rest of the good vibe very easy to join in on (though there is the occasional oppo stirrer to contend with!)

Demonstone's Latest Linguistic Lashings Of Literary Learnings
Thanks for yet another challenge, good sir! I'm sure you have a Max-like 200 in you and look forward to them all 🙂 Nominating 'lead singers', I went too specific first up, but also not specific enough in presuming Rod Stewart, Van Morrison, etc.. So, per my most recent PM, somewhere between a 'Do'h!' and a 'Grrrr!' 😉

Max Gawn's 200th
This thread should attract more individual posters than any other, ever. I was there the day the gangly lump kicked 4(?) at Casey. I attach myself to all the foregoing about Max and, I suspect, to all that will follow here!

Which hated player would you love to love at the Dees?
...Though if really strongly dislike (I hate the word 'hate') is the criterion, a premiership-winning year out of that May-chopper Hawkins would be my Number Two(s).

PREGAME: Rd 22 vs Carlton
I like Grundy in for Petty. However, Goodwin made a bit of a point of how Petty and Van Rooyen combined being part of the last 2 weeks of success in the forward line. Grundy can possibly match Petty in individual capabilities but I wonder whether the 'combo' effect can be matched? Can that be trained, and embedded, particularly in the short time frame since the need arose?

The 'A Win's A Win' Quiz
Not Melbourne, but another Roy Boys one, and a bit of a surprise: Don Chipp, 3 games, 1947. I wonder how Curtin's notable eyes fared in games?

Looks pretty happy in the training vid. Regardless of when he returns, if he's happy, I'm happy. For me and for him.

The 'A Win's A Win' Quiz
Next time, then, Layz? 'Everyone' might have over-implied its penetration! And good time?. Hmmm... 😄 Off 'on the road' now. Next puzzle in August. I'm thinking personal invitations, to get the two-dozen-plus 'regulars' out of the woodwork 🎣

With this quiz pretty much wrapped up, the topic starting, posting, searching and messaging involved has again reminded how impressive this site is. Thank you, @Demonland!

The 'A Win's A Win' Quiz
A pretty big 'Ooops!' from me: my 'coach' has, in fact, played 16 games. Thank you, @tilly18, for pointing this out, in PM-ing your correct answer. I hope you don't mind, @La Dee-vina Comedia, if I pop Tilly next to you on the first place area for this. I can only think the bio I read was from 2022. So it's not just any 16 games: they've been very recent and my coach is a Premiership Player! 🤦🏽♂️ So, my grovelling apologies to... ...HER!
