I did wonder... Maybe a new brood, in due course, will help the healing gently along? 'Landers all, I'm struck by the personal stories that surface here and, most particularly, by the preparedness of the storytellers to be vulnerable to strangers (though maybe we're not strangers here, so much?) Though one story might seem less, or more, momentous than another to we readers, we respect (I hope) that it is the teller's experience that sets the moment.

@WalkingCivilWar: Bizarro World alive and (not so?) well in the west 😯 (How are you btw?)

Someone who knows you well got you an early pressie, Mr Stone?

Someone photoshop!

Thanks, Monbon; a nice watch (the joyful crowd backdrop of the finger-poining celebration of the last goal (sadly just before the final demise) provided a family pic for my screensaver). And extra thanks: Telemann's '12 Fantasias for Flute without Bass' provided a musical backdrop of exactly the right length!

A Dees team to join in the wishes (understandably all over the place, having decided to live right up to its message?!) Backs: M.Hibberd J.Adams C.Petracca Half Backs: H.Petty G.Yeats K.Chandler Centres: J.Harmes A.Riley A.Ingerson Half Forwards: C.Salem A.Tomlinson S.May Forwards: F.Adams C.Spargo L.Dunstan Followers: C.Ellis J.Melksham C.Oliver I/C: A.Neal-Bullen E.Langdon S.Armstrong M.Newton Coach: F.Davis

Thanks @Deespicable and others. I'm always impressed how the Trackside Team can discern and remember so much. Meanwhile, I see the Club is showing an interest in the Bombers training. This has found its way onto the Club's website (I hope they're not trying to gaslight you, @WalkingCivilWar 😮)...

Careful, everyone: toying with schadenfreude perhaps FEEDS A CHUNDER! Best I could do...

It must have been a ripper, frankie! (And from the subsequent posters - and @WalkingCivilWar's buddy - it looks like there won't be any debate this time about which team had the best home-game-at-the-'G support! 😉) Your post sent me down the Google rabbit hole: Charles Arnold 'Chuck' Burgi III, American (what else with that name?!) long-time Joel band drummer. No evident connection with the Dees but publicity photos seem to show a penchant for the red and blue (good man!) e.g. Spiderman merch. Possibly a Dees supporter in MCG event management (there'd be a few!😄) was onto this and jumped at the chance?

Bit of a sheltered life here. I presume it's a cultural reference, but what does 'deathride' mean and what are its origins? 'Feathered cap', too, for that matter (in this context)...

Couple of comments on the Club tweet about 'glad to see Yze there'. Yep.

Maffra, 'just down the highway'. Spoken like true country folk, @Whispering_Jack 😁. But yes, it's not WA! I was sorry 2022 Jack Oatey medallist and Norwood 2022 premiership 'mini' ruck Harry Boyd didn't nominate. He's from just 'up' the highway 😉 (Shepparton)

Fitting graphic: Zach Tuohy, 4 days short of his 33rd birthday 👨🏾‍🦯

Not after the tattoo, surely!

Did Michael at the desk just cut to himself? (come on, Paddy, you're Michael, aren't you! Aren't you?)

"I said to Banno", eh? (huffs on nails and polishes them on lapel😁) Methinks, though, that you (particularly, to the D'Land lens)and your DA colleagues have earnt the right to be in a position to name-drop, and to actually do so. Tiny bit of envy here, I guess. Wondering if there's a smidge of something that could come the way of Foundation Members...

That is impactful in a whole lot of positive ways. Good vibes.

As one who 'suffered' this early in life, I now see that Ed might be in the early stages of the actuality, WCW? Bit of temple recession going on there. The Shave is the modern young man's sanctuary when hair patterning no longer supports the Rock star / Biblical look. But no loss of attraction, I'm sure you'll come to realise!

Dear @Demonland, Wot @layzie, @La Dee-vina Comedia, @WalkingCivilWar, @The Third Eye and @DeeZone said! And what so many other fellow tragics (though recently not so tragic!) would say! 🙏

Demon Army project, WCW? Get Brodie to de-bun and band up?

'chandler' up, W!

...but not Sampson, I hope.

Per fortnight for me, QD (accordingly, all posters since, please accept this bulk Like / Laugh / Clap / Thanks / the odd Thinks) Returning to the brief flourishing of poesy several pages ago, may I paraphrase Elizabeth Barrett Browning: 'How do I miss thee? Let me count the ways. Finished.'

Nice little thankyou to Ben at the end of Kate H's interview with him at the B&F, on the Club site. She speaks a truth.

Speaking of No. 31, though: in another of many happy coincidences associated with our 14 months' worth of premierships, weren't the two 31s the players centrally involved as the goalkickers in the 'turning points' of their respective games?
