😄 Not sure how that helps, though! Was that one of the occurences?

Welcome, @tilly18 to the Solvers' Sanctum. And please accept the well-earned Persistance Award!

Re Jack Watts, I must agree with latter posters. I think earlier posters were about 'appetite for the contest' as opposed to football skills, brain and game contribution?

'Seasonal' 'Stretch' 'Suspense' '(generally) Handy' To borrow from @WalkingCivilWar, 'Amirite?' @reynolds46 and @Witches Hat? Any help to continue you down your paths, @Jumping Jack Clennett and @Diamond Jim? Still there @Demonstone and @Engorged Onion?

But can he play?... https://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/patrick-jolly-the-pearly-king-of-crystal-palace-celebrates-news-photo/153113428

@Engorged Onion, @Queanbeyan Demon, @DEE fence; great stuff, folks (I felt like I was looking in a mirror, QD!)

Great resource, DT; thanks! Two days, two captains, two rounds of smiling. We're blessed! p.s. Her reaction to the McAvaney footage did look as though she might’ve got in trouble for it 😬

Phew! Sorry! That'd help!

The 'Run Home' now being to Flag#14, am I right in understanding that, when(!) we win on Thursday, and then when(!) Port lose to Brisbane but then beat the winner of StK v GWS, our Preliminary Final would be in Adelaide, as Port were the higher-ranked H&A team?

...yet again. Informative, open, entertaining, and positive on a lot of matters we here tend to be so negative about. Among many, particularly loved his '5 more years' line 😊 More of this, Max!

Anything that I don't have to 'join'? 😬

Just missed it. Can some whizz post a recording?

More on the OP's 'useful word or four' on the morrow.

@Witches Hat joins the Solver Sanctum. Well done! Got well towards the answer with a first attempt, with the 'what', so I did give a bit of encouragement (that there might be more for a full answer). Then got the 'when'.

...Thanks for the first bit, though! 😊

Not sure whether to be chuffed or miffed! And I'm sure you're in the cerebral camp! A clue, then: It's footy related.

Got one more, DIO?

I'm finding this thread an interesting warm-up for when Ben Brown, Tom McDonald, Brodie Grundy, James Harmes and/or James Jordon are confirmed as 2024 starters 😉

Since I started drafting the reply below, there has, in fact, been an entry, and a CORRECT one at that. Hearty congrats to @reynolds46! The reply was, 'Thanks for bringing this back up the board, Mr Stone. Not sure about the 'We're'; 'I'm' would be better suited, as it's been 🦗🦗🦗 otherwise! Perhaps I should have asked you to post my puzzle in your name to attract the rusted-on Demonstone conundrum tragics?😉' However, with Reynolds' successful entry I'll keep clueing to a minimum for the moment, and just point to the OP for a useful word or four... (yes, Reynolds?)

Ah, that score after Gus's Premiership gem: 9.10.64 ❤️

Club games, we presumed? It appears she has a game for Victoria as well (when did that happen?)

Club advising be there by 6.30.

It's already three days into what was already a short break (from which we'll benefit, of course, in our longer lead-up to our Preliminary Final...) But, oh, the wait! So, here's something somewhat seasonal to sidetrackingly stuff this stretch of suspense: The following squad of generally handy players from the period 2001 to 2014, are linked by something, uniquely for the period (though certainly not over time more broadly). What is the something? Backs: Corey ENRIGHT Dustin FLETCHER (VC) Brodie HOLLAND Half backs: Ben JOHNSON Nick MAXWELL Heath GRUNDY Centres: Paul CHAPMAN Brent HARVEY Chris HEFFERNAN Half forwards: Steve JOHNSON Lance FRANKLIN Dale THOMAS Forwards: Alastair LYNCH Matthew LLOYD (C) Tim NOTTING Followers: Patrick RYDER Mark RICCIUTO Mark BICKLEY Interchange from: Jason CLOKE Kasey GREEN Kent KINGSLEY Sam LONERGAN Luke McCABE James PODSIADLY Anthony ROCCA PMs (and not Prime Ministers this time) only, please.

So keep an eye out for some diverting conundrums hereon, A. 😁

MBJMcV! 👏
