AFLW 2024 Contracts and list details
p.s. At 76 games, he's missed 1 of Paxy's and 2 of Kate's games. Trivia question: Who took the reins in those games? Possibly Shae S?

AFLW 2024 Contracts and list details
Only peripherally on topic, but this thread is the only current live AFLW-related one. It's about the only boy in @red and blue forever's valued tabling (who's still only 41? Wow!) This from last year's end of season activities but only now appearing on the Club's website. Geez he's an asset. And long may he continue to be so. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1706399/future-direction-stinear-confident-in-young-list

The Mongrel Punt - Season Preview
It's a good read (but, then, I'll read anything about the Dees). Thanks, @rumpole. Though '...we give value. No same old garbage you’re going to hear from ten others, taking turns in mimicking each other. No played out opinions. Thoughtful and comprehensive – that’s what we aspire to provide...' is a bit of a stretch; I didn't see much new or left field. Its substance, and the padding, are entertainingly written, and you've got to be impressed by someone who can write two novels in a handful of months!

The No T$ No B$ Thread
Bat free here. But cue another rabbit hole for the T$B$: dodgy car stories. I'll continue with a very mild one and I'm sure they'll get significantly worse. A shout-out to the very particular dodginess of 1970s British cars, providing story opportunities more or less from new. In our case, selves newly twenty-something, me driving then girlfriend's (Brit-born) dad's Morris Tasman down The Hume (pre 'M31'!) in a rain storm, in a hurry (probably to return the car?) Wipers. Just. Stopped. Rain didn't. And the journey must continue, unabated, and considerate of the traffic's need for speed: With head out the window.

The Legacy Series - Episode 1, Robert Flower
With the things about Robbie they've got to talk about, and do - from living first-hand knowledge - it's hard to imagine how other reminiscences can match this. In this regard, particularly, Robbie02 seems correct. '...| Episode 1 |...' has created a challenging precedent for '...Series...'.

Something at Caulfield, at least, surely. Pivoting, ball on the bounce, from neighbouring Murrumbeena, towards the 'G.

Just like that fleeting moment in time when we were AFL, AFLW and VFL premiers. Emphasis - sadly - on fleeting...

Time for a reveal, Rog. And how was @Little Goffy's confidence misplaced?

With 'AFL' being shorthand for our code as a whole, I'd imagine there are many correct answers!
