All, I say this somewhat guiltily: 👏

🙏 @Demonland👏 #WishResponsibly

Wasn't talking about 'solved'; was talking about 'make' 😉

Not strictly true (you know what I'm saying!)

I'm inclined to this GSS redevelopment possibility, with you and @Sir Why You Little. Apologies, everyone, if the detail below has already been canvassed. I also note it would seem a strategic plan 'fail' as pointed out by @Dr. Gonzo. From 'felix.net' in 'Felix Project News', claiming itself to be 'Australia's Favourite Construction Blog' [with my numbering]: 1. $2M+ State/MCC/G funding was committed mid year to '... complete the business case for the [GSS] redevelopment project.' 2. Development won't start until 2027, after the 2026 opening of the Commonwealth Games and a possible 2027 Rugby World Cup, and '... is expected to be undertaken in sections, enabling the ground still to be used for major events ...' 3. Quoting MCC's Stuart Fox: 'This [State/MCC/G] funding will allow the MCC and the State ... to develop detailed plans around scope options, funding [my italics] ... ' etc 4. The project '... will ... include "best-in-class facilities" for event and non-event [my italics] days.' 5. '...new elite player facilities will ... be incorporated into the stand.' 6. The stand '... will ... have better connections ... potentially to the Melbourne and Olympic Park precincts.' 7. Paraphrasing, the stand will open up to the Yarra Park surroundings. 8. It will '... also feature ... a possible hotel to generate additional revenue ...' Points 1 and 2 provide an 'it's early days' reason for a current, at least 'nothing to report' silence. All the points to varying degrees involve a likely (lead?) tenancy, as opposed to an 'owned' facility elsewhere, which points to 'commercial in confidence' and 'negotiation' reasons for a current silence. Current MFC director and property lawyer David Rennick is involved (and good!) Point 3 indicates scope development is still very much in play in negotiations. Points 4, 5 and 6, supported by point 3, provide the hint that player needs we have debated in here can, and likely will, be met. Points 7 and 8 suggest a component of 'corporate' type construction, in which MFC corporate needs could be met. I wonder if point 7 might be met be a fill-in of the triangle formed with Brunton Ave outside Gate 5(?) Sadly point 2 would suggest such new facilities could be instrumental only in our next premiership window!😉

Hand clap emoji required, @Demonland

You're all doing 'the right thing'. Best wishes; I'm sure the girls draw a lot from the DA. You all sure make good viewing!

Is that a DA protocol, WCW? Cos the public protocol is isolate just while symptomatic, and she might be 'right' by Friday? As to infecting others on Saturday, no self-respecting virus could successfully navigate between 2 people in Casey's microclimate!

Per my original post over on the Harmesy thread, she's a 🦄 in this regard. But I see it as a respectful nod to the footiers of my generation, for whom the hanging-out woollen jumper was an opposition tackle aid. I suspect she also has nail-in wooden stops ('studs' to the handful of generations since...)

...at a happy hunting ground: "The match will be the second time the Dees have played at IKON Park this season, defeating Carlton by 42 points in Round 5".

2022 at home: 35.45; away 38.36.

Ah, that's right, they have a 'suburban' ground, too? p.s. Noticed Zede put her 'tail up yesterday. Waddayareckon? (I had wondered when someone would start to be concerned about putting an eye out!)

What about the prelim? If the GF is to be at the Gabba(?) it'd be good for the girls to experience a 'stadium' final in the lead-up.

...in which case I can advise (after extensive research, and somewhat hesitantly) the relevant rebrand would be 'Gookoop-rrm'. Not a great ring to it, but a gookoop's call, perhaps for hurling at umpires or oppositions, would be 'Korweinguboora!' It's a slow Sunday...

Any sense of why, SWYL? Given your opening warning, I hope it wasn't because of visible club merch. Or that Demonland is being surveilled.

This would get @BangBnagBang's, @Bang Bang Bang's and @bangbangbang2021's votes.

While that's being sorted out, a side question: how does a 'communications' person qualify for a senior 'football' position? (cue 'It is Collingwood after all' jokes) p.s. But good on her: Onwards, greater balance in the AFL! p.p.s. And sn't it a credit to MFC and its systems, culture, etc, that we are fostering senior, promotable, adaptable people?

Ouch.

I hope you tuck it in like Zanks! She's a 🦄 in this regard 😁 Can you share the goss on James? (though I have enough children, thanks)

So you missed doing it with some of the girls, too? It looked like fun, so double bummer for you. I hope the AFLW seasons get to boys' length PDQ, otherwise it's gonna be a looooong haul for you to 244!

And further for those who care (I suspect we're in an empty room, though, LDVC!) my PM'd response recognised this: "I realise that you are, in a general sense, correct, LDVC. Not trophy-worthy yet, but keep going...". Song titles, pretty much by definition, are going to use actual words (though not sure that will hold true for the genres under discussion in a couple of other threads atm! (apologies @WalkingCivilWar and others, whose interests and knowledge impress me no end 😊)) Anyway, credit where credit is due, and a Merit Badge speeds its way to you, LDVC. (p.s. Apologies for likely confusion in my earlier post, with references to Mazer and various drinks. I had conflated our PM convo with one I was having with Mazer at the same time. D'Oh!)

And, at last, Reynolds46 has grabbed the bronze, with his two mitts. Well done to you, too, sir! (gender assumption based on his(?) Homer Simpson avatar). B: ToMorrow Never Knows Glass Onion Norwegian Wood H/B: Sun King Maxwell's Silver Hammer Fool On The Hill C: Strawberry Fields Forever Baby You're A Rich Man Long And Winding Road H/F: And Your Bird Can Sing Oh! Darling ACross The Universe F: Good Day Sunshine David Neitz, (Revolution) 9 Dear Prudence R: Martha My Dear Blackbird Rocky Raccoon I/C: Ballad Of John And Yoko Blue Jay Way Doctor Robert I Will Em: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band And now I've got a feeling I can let it be. I'll be on my way; I'm so tired. Perhaps I should have known better. Goodbye.

Roger Mellie has grabbed the silver with both hands. Well done, sir!

Thanks to you, too, 'LDVC', for keeping this on the board. Apart from @Mazer Rackham (who would now seem to have tripped himself up! 😉) where are all our good friends*? I hope I haven't offended anyone ( @Demonstone? ) Anyway, now here I am again, as a consequence, back in the unloved, sad, sorry realm of this thread, bumping it along - perhaps inevitably to bomb and crash as @Deemania since 56 may have foreshadowed - with another 🤔, about 'Neater'. Ploise exploin! I'm happy for my actual answer to be trumped! And I'll be happy to add some Grange to the beer and bubbles, which you seem to be unsatisfied with! Meanwhile, I've got silver and bronzeware to get rid of. Well here's another clue for you all: S. Powell-Pepper's the unlucky player. (* Reading the 'Perception of usernames' and 'Music / grand final' threads, maybe my team's common link isn't 'The Word' for our friends?) (And, p.s.:👍 to the 'R&B' contraction of my name!)

Hmmm... But thanks for calling in and keeping this 'live'. A Merit Badge for you, my apparent contemporary!
