Mo, PM me your original answer to Roger.

Ah. Roger was correct to say the answer is AFL related: the connection is with other AFL players' names.

Roger meant you to not go beyond his 'v'...

My first reaction to this, layzie, was, 'Funny you should say seconds!' Meanwhile, though, let the world know your quizophilic persistence has just paid off in that other still-live conundrum 👏 But a bit more 'clueing': Four ' @Roger Mellie ' emergencies were named at this club's selection table on the Thursday night: Jason Johannisen, Jeremy Howe, Jarrod Molloy and Kyle Cheney. As noted, Johannisen became the medi-sub. In this expanded squad, Roger's selection of Jayden Hunt becomes unique. And in another way, I've just noticed, Roger's selection of Ed Lower is unique.

Oopsies! (Though might Bombers fans be looking over their shoulders for a similar 'Second Coming' in 2115?👼...)

Worse still, a good handful of South Melbourne-ites will be looking for somewhere more amenable to be. MCG?

But the point if that particular analysis was, I think, that he wasn't at, or even trying to get to, where he was needed - or where his opponent was getting to? But prove me/them/all wrong Brodie!

Rather damning. Doesn't look like something that a switch can be flicked on 😬

Alrighty then. Sam Gravenall coached Essendon for only 12 games in 2022. Albeit from a small sample size, Sam's win/loss record is behind only Craig McCrae's, Chris Scott's and John Longmire's, of the current crop of coaches. But it is another, unique, aspect he brings that qualifies him to front @Roger Mellie's team.

Or.... 🚬 ?

Still at home, KC! Nice way to start the season, back-to-back at Fortress KC 😁

Cometh the footy, cometh the amnesia. But now reminded, it does feel so yesterday, Mr Stone! Still, if anyone's still interested - @WalkingCivilWar? @layzie? @Turner? - what complete set of premiership numbers would the men's premiership team contain if you put the numbers of the four replacements into it?

Thanks for keeping these alive, Mr Stone 🙂. I'm tempted to clue, but @Roger Mellie should have first (and last?) go at that, I think...

Bit of a soft spot for Norwood. The consistent presence of a 'Team of the Red and the Blue' on the teev in September and - with ultimate success 4 times - into the weekend after the VFL had wound up, was a sneaky consolation in our dark 70s and early 80s. Almost up with occasional MFC reserves and under 19s and Sandy Zebras successes. (Re Canberra, surely the AFL could not afford GWS's loss of that market (I use that word advisedly!...))

I think the modern vernacular is, 'Well, that pivoted!'

And here's another good reason to be there - Reach Round: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1292542/melbourne-and-reach-to-kick-start-change

All good to hear. A shame, though, that it (and consequent footy matters) pretty quickly overshadowed the main purpose of the conference (despite Watts's brave effort to bring it back). Anyway, this might allow normal programming to resume: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1293514/injury-update-gawn-salem-join-rehab-group

Thanks @Dees_In_October. Makes sense. May also be a component of passing on a range of 'seniors' experience to the squad?

Poita (or others) what does this categorisation mean? There doesn't seem to be anything consistently special (or lacking) in the named players. Why can't any of the AFLW listeds play, subject to the 10/game limit?(

Looks a bit Jakovitchy?

That's glass half full. That's glass two-thirds full. That's Numberwang!

"No hairdressers working at the moment in Footscray." "Not well, anyway." 😆

Opened 15-love, on serve, then shuffled out in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0. 👍👏

So, by the nature of Maggie C's departure (best wishes, Maggie) the premiers remain entirely 'unpoached'? Extraordinary. Pride-inducing, too.

1 Like for me, EO, 3 Loves for you. So there is such a thing as going off early... 😄
