Any suitably qualified 'Landers out there able to offer an objective view of Ben's 2024 availability on the basis of the 'facts', as far as we can get them? 1. Richo, on Club's X: "...a loose piece of cartilage in the knee joint, and this will need to be treated with a small surgical procedure...”. 2. IIRC, his partner's social media post last year that he has "bone on bone". 3. Our training reporters' observations of his participation (though there seems to be a range here, from 'always in rehab' to 'featuring in match sims'!)

See my 14 October last post on the 2024 Jumper Numbers thread, Dingo (where @tilly18 also then nominated the actual episode 👏) but it's well worth dusting off again every once in a while! 😄

Genuine or sarcastic, SD? Could you post it here so we, the Unfacebooked, can also consider?

Demonestic blindness.

What am I not seeing? 🤔

So what did they have in common, @Demonstone?

Wouldn't mind this, though!

His teammates did - refer the occasional club website interviews during the pre-season (which I linked to in (MB)JMcV's 'Welcome to...' thread). I'll be looking for those again this year. But pending them, I'm going to go out on a (long!) limb: Tom Fullarton!

Something more than 'Sorry' needed, 'Good' Sir. Wikipedia-ing and Demonwiki-ing - precious time I will not get back!

He PMd me. You by a short half head, apparently!

We did. I didn't.

Me too. Hope I beat you!

Let me be the first: So 5,3,6 then...

Killing it, @WalkingCivilWar. I can't keep up! Maybe there'll be a morsel for me at the end? 1, 3 and 10 remain...

Your ability to make anagrams is elite, @Demonstone!

No. This was about a revealed answer! Unless @Demonstone allows him for no.8 (see my edited post). Then I'm gonzo...

This is more or less on the anniversary of my 26 January 2023 quiz in the same vein, @Demonstone, for which I now apologise in that I didn't give letter counts! (though, being a specific, unique team, maybe I can be excused?) Charlie Spargo, in it, was 'Fight, fight!' btw. Can I have him for your no.8, too, then? 😉

You're asking us these without letter count, @Demonstone? And do they follow the cryptic crossword clueing conventions?

I might be wrong but this seems to have been missed: That, ultimately, the whole thing's a bit light on. Never off, though?

Lucky this enjoyable thread, and the equally enjoyable contributions it triggered, arrived before the end of 2023. It would have set a very high bar for 2024 honours.

Good on you, RnB! Heads up: You'll need a little more (< >) when Nibbler lifts his third cup 😉

I only know you all as your words and pictures, but you're all great company. I wish you all the best, in this festive but also contemplative season and into a red-and-blue-dominant new year.

Aussie?

And for the non-social-media'd?...
