Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Sorry if I've helped excite this response, Red. Just to be clear on my 'contribution', I was presenting others' statements, presenting a relative picture of 2 injuries, both stated as Lisfranc, one with known consequent timings and outcome, the other with as-yet-unknown such consequences, with no personal opinion expressed. @WalkingCivilWar can speak for herself on this. But her unique(?) connections do provide an insight of some worth. [p.s. I won't pretend MFCSS wasn't an evil angel on my shoulder as I strove to be straightly factual!]

OK, so let's keep this thread motoring along with this: Tom McDonald's 2022 Lisfranc was assessed as 'low grade' (MFC - definitely). Harrison Petty's has been assessed as 'high grade' (MFC - apparently). This is at least relevant to plans, either from within current playing stocks or via trade and/or draft/s, for coverage for Harry for a period of time.

...which goes to my other 'update' question: what is Adelaide, not the media, actually saying?

Couple of update questions: 1. What is Adelaide Football Club itself - not any media speculators or opinionators - currently saying? 2. How's Harry's hoof?

Perth (2021) and Adelaide (? and ?) take offence! 🙃

Well spotted, 31! Perhaps it should be retired, having (since Matthew Bate) adorned Mitch Clark, Chris Dawes, Jordan Lewis, Luke Jackson and Brodie Grundy!

I think it's Kate Hore's turn again next week on the '5 goals' roster?

Yep. See either the AFLW Fixture 2023 or Dr McClelland Trophy threads (which mods may now be merging)

Mods @Demonland, this could be merged with the AFLW Fixture 2023 thread where there was analysis and discussion of this last week: bring it all together heading towards 'The Mill'! After this weekend's matches we remain atop the ladder. The top 4 all advance 8 points, leaving Melbourne half a game ahead of Brisbane, a game ahead of Collingwood and a game and a half ahead of Adelaide. Carlton now probably drops out of the race. Our percentage margin increases: Melbourne now 140.3, Brisbane 128.6, Collingwood 123.5, Adelaide 127.8

Or perhaps 9 lives, Mono? A good few premierships there, then!

A cunning plan, SA... And he'd be taken under Melky's wing, too? (apologies to Jake 😁)

(Sometimes they just jump out, Will. Sorry 😏...) If it's in the #1 pick, take it!

1A, 1F, 2Ls, 1M, 1N, 2Os, 1R, 2Ts and a U, but no C. And even if he deed-polls 'James' into his apparently vacant middle name spot (see above), still none. As a 2-metre midget, he played guard, I believe. That's a position needing a bit of the third letter? p.s. Welcome, Tom!

I believe the whole squad has travelled. Long flights not great for injuries. But the players are expertly managed.

Same vein, but lighter, if I recall it correctly: 99 to a jealous Max: 'You're twice the spy 43 is, 86'

Any goss on the Harri-string @WalkingCivilWar or anyone else? It's starting to seem a bit Oliveresque?😬

Just keeping this one at the crease 😁 Got any more info, @Whispering_Jack?

Move it over to the thread already created for that, WD 🙂

Before @Demonstone gets in: He could use it.

In what universe?

Thanks, Stone. Not angered, just bemused. Responding only (a) for info, re Thilthorpe's abilities (in DLanders' views) and (b) with my questions, to help call out the (presumed) nonsense - ain't ever going to be ignored, so that's the fallback.

I want to contribute to this hilarity but I'm stumped.

I'm liking it. But will try to keep expectations in check; he doesn't seem to have a ruck's 'bigness', and 2 years seems short for the mutual buy-in to 'getting going' à la Max. And he's moving from his home state.

This looks more like the question was 'Who says Yes?'??!!

Apologies for giving Cornes oxygen. 'Like for like'. Would it be? In football terms for one (@Demon Disciple's response noted) but also: The player's respective desires to move (if any)? Does HP still get the $3.4m? And what contract for RT?
