That's the photo I wanted to post but was told it was too big! You must know someone at the top, DIO* (*... Equals 'God'. That explains it!...)

No, definitely as I implied. Includes e.g. 'likely to sign this week' and headline is 'McQualter in Dees coach mix'.

Substitute 'Oliver' for 'Petty' in that statement, how convinced would we be? Personally, I don't think he goes (nor does Clayton), but just sayin'...

Apparently Tom was there, too: 'Harry and I caught up at a local restaurant. I can report he said, 'I've got a beef...bury it, or...' It was evident he wanted this kept quiet, but now...'

From today's Shun, we apparently have AMcQ 'in the mix', 'weighing up' him against T. Chaplin. Unsurprisingly poor...

You'll be flying in the other direction. That could mean some cheaper 'backloading' flights? Although, yes, the long long weekend may generate escapees...

From Thursday, we may have that remarkable clean sheet. The ultimate 'nice headache for the selection committee to have' awaits!

...though his current n/n does sit well with the notion, on that other current thread, of a 'mini reset'.

Mini, the hootchie-coocher, as our new coach, should perhaps warrant 'Cooch'?

Thanks, Stone. You were clearly reading my mind.

Somewhat of an antidote to that other current thread. 'Mini'? Pleez exploin!

It's never going to go away, is it?......

And now, see 'Melksham set to play on in 2024' thread. McAdam to be one of his projects: 'C'mon, son; make it hard for me to get back in the team!'

Another lolly swatted to the boundary 😉

'Can' it then.

More information please, Jeremy?

Can someone please put some 'meat' on these 'Petty wants to go and/or MFC contemplating trading Petty' notions?

I sincerely hope you meant 'Rheem'... Naughty - and I mean naughty - autocorrect!

Three birds in the hand are worth #1 in the bush?

Unclear which way DL is trending in 2024 optimism atm, but this feels like a little up-tick ☝️

To save you the trouble, herewith the extended-version consequences of Mason Ipecocs:

Thanks for the reminder, JNM. Recommended viewing, DL! (though possibly not for the weak-stomached...)

These photoshops always look really enticing. Until now.

Loving all the names that pop up. And this one's towards the 'that's-a-bit-exciting' end of the scale. But could we make it a rule that the OP, or someone shortly after, post some sort of useful 'availability' metric. In the absence of anything more overt, contract status would be a good start.

Thanks, @Deemented Are Go! and @Chook, for the discussion on Paxy and their preference for address. Except for here, I am on no social media, where I presume they made their public statement on this. I was aware they had formally changed their name (perhaps it was on here?) but missed the further important detail. So, my observation about the commentary was solely about the sentiment it expressed. And it was one of the women, btw. In passing, I also liked the insight that Paxy did not, and still does not, 'follow footy' and does not 'have a team'.
