@beelzebub has gone that final step beyond 'contention' to achieve this: 🏆 Well done, sir! @Demonstone recused himself (though still no PM to confirm he really had got it). I do acknowledge him now, at this pointy end, as quiz Patron.

Sorry; I meant all those draft prospects in the threads, not my squad!! And, in my post, by the way, I meant 'alphabet-related' not just 'alphabet'!

The 'The <Insert random draft prospect name> Thread' threads* are swamping the board! Thought I'd do a bump just in case anyone's still interested. From the earlier clues: The answer is alphabet (2/3 of 'alphabetical'!) The answer lies entirely within the squad as listed Think about what the second 'there' in the OP is referring to. Off you go! (*Does anyone else find it slightly depressing that they're all generic 180-something cm?)

Cool signature. Don't let him near our Caulfield HQ / recreational parks plans, then!

This came up on one of those un-asked-for news feeds (MSN). I have no idea about its status. But it's impressive! https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/proposal-for-macquarie-point-2-0-stadium-in-hobart-tasmania/vi-AA1Pf1Jx?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=6901906e3b8741939232f4506704202b&ei=51

I feel it only fair to share my responses to some PM'd direct questions (NOT to be taken as precedent, though - e.g. 'What's the answer?' might be a stretch) Is it alphabetical related? Well, splitting grammatical hairs, 2/3 of that. Is in-depth player knowledge required? No.

I'll accept them all, graciously...

I'm afraid there's no clue in my correspondence with @beelzebub, LD-vC. Not from me, anyway. I noticed his poesy and framed my hope for a PM accordingly, to check whether he did know the answer, as his 2nd line suggested. However, for everyone, there is a clue in the OP. And I'll give you all another. You needn't look beyond that squad. Everything's there.

You'll need to Poem...er, Private...Message me, bb!

I rang the Club recently to speak to the media folks (can't remember the reason but it was a constructive one) and reported on here. I couldn't get past the membership officer but she told me the media group were 'a team' and different individuals were responsible for different projects at different times. So I don't think there's an AFL/AFLW division? p.s. Is Robbo still on the books? He seems to have disappeared on game day at Casey, after a very fan boy performance at the helicopter game!

I got the humour, and emoji-ed accordingly, G, but, putting on my 'reality hat' (cue gifs n memes of all sorts, I'm sure) we finished bottom 6 so should meet top 6s only once? It is the AFL, however. And it is us. And it is Geelong...

Are you confusing the Club's base with the 'Land base (my previous post gives me away...)

Can you post it here, DP?

Don't know why this struck me, but pretty chill signature: I'm glad they printed the name!

Bit of mutual exclusivity there, surely, I'va? 😄 Thanks for checking in. Have you seen the Contention quiz? Much easier, according to @Demonstone (though not according to anyone else yet!)

Moi? 🥺

Alas, Goffy, I am Netflix-, and all other commercial streaming services-free. How else could I have the time I spend on here?

I did wonder...

We're going to be there at the pointy end, folks! Our squad here of 23 and 3 emergencies gets us there! Can you see why (and tell me by PM only - you all know the rules by now😄)? PICKETT SEVENTH pick STEELE LANGDON GAWN FRITSCH EIGHTH pick SALEM VAN ROOYEN TURNER CULLEY WINDSOR LANGFORD MELKSHAM VINEY JIATH LINDSAY SPARROW MIHOCEK PETTY HEATH LEVER McDONALD BOWEY RIVERS CHANDLER

Well, yes, it seems I do, I'm afraid. Coming to a board near you, very soon!

Nah; Gawndy 2.0, and it'll work this time, eh @Demonstone 😉

Me, too, GoD, the exception being the Storm, particularly when they're doing good stuff (thankfully often), and very particularly when our Dees aren't/haven't. Nice story, too 😊

...then we say goodbye to them. Though, if there's a flag in the meantime...

OK, gather round (apologies for using that phrase). I've remembered I awarded demonstone the 1st trophy with a tweak still to be made, so I'm jointly awarding tweak-needing @Ghostwriter and @3183 Dee the '2009' for 2nd. And in the same vein, I'm awarding @710 Asbury St the '2025' for 3rd. @beelzebub nearly got there, and did get the Prince, etc, association, so an extra glass of purple fizzy for him. And per my post just before, Parcels go to @beelzebub and @Little Goffy for excellent participation. @tilly18 gets an extra lolly bag for my mis-Quinn. And @Harvey Wallbanger earnt himself a free pass through to the second round of Musical Chairs for his early 'try'. And I'm ignoring further messages received from trophy winners while I've been crafting this outcome! I'd hate to have to do a 2007 or 2009 on them! The Dees players share surnames with Melbourne Storm players in winning grand finals. Four of those were consequently 'premierships' (1999, 2012, 2017, 2020) but two were not (2007, 2009, for the salary cap breaches) Note there were 3 different Smiths and 2 different Andersons in those teams. The trophies for 1st and 2nd were 'available' cos the Storm couldn't take them. The photo OP for 3rd was with the so-close-you-could-touch-it 2025 outcome. Thanks for playing everyone 👏👏👏

I've realised a problem with being a quiz master: making people feel bad! I was awful at running Pass The Parcel.
