KKP re-signs, AFL gets new CEO. Perfect storm for a backflip on that?

With no disrespect, I wish to acknowledge all posters on this thread, past, present and emerging, with a big group 👍🏽, 👏🏽 and ❤️ (which are in font size 36, too, btw 😉)

Finally I can bookend: KOZZIE, THANKS, THANKS, THANKS FOR STAYING! That takes him to restricted or unrestricted FA? If the former, we can match to have him stay again?

Well, I guess I'd have to go with 'My Boy' (sorry, @Lucifers Hero; 'Our Boy'...), 41. But he'll be losing the '4' 2027-ish, and I hear the press-on is pretty good quality, so I won't rush.

Not exactly what you were after, Heart, but we're just back from Tassie, and one 'local perspective' we got, that I'm not aware we hear anything about in the AFL/mainland-controlled agenda, is that the stadium site has serious Indigenous cultural significances. While current levels of 'modern' disturbance/development are (apparently) remediable, $3/4billions'-worth are not. Regardless of any range in views on that aspect from us the 'uninvested', this won't make for an easy development.

I'm sure I remember him being seriously touted as a future captain early in his career (and the hyphen didn't hurt!😉) But for the blossoming of Max, that may have eventuated. Appears to have many/most of the qualities.

Three high picks for an apparent unicorn? Dockers/Bell say hullo... (p.s. @Lucifers Hero: Just noticed your avatar update. 'Our Boy', then?)

IDK. So... ?

'My boy' JMcV, I think? I like 'em. Get to the receiver quickly, and with 'easily' created end-over-end bounce they seem relatively easy to gather.

(Catching up with things; great reading, everyone. Thanks!... Anyhoo...) Surprised you missed this one, @Demonstone 😁... Getting Sarong: It's a wrap? (I know the drill: Myself. Door.)

Thanks GO TO; I am! AM has all the moves - more 'AFL'-like than any native Irish footy player I've seen. If she gets a right foot to go with her big and precise left (and can get our funny ball to both of them!) then... World. Oyster. Hers.

...And just a thought: if he takes as many marks as we hope he will, particularly one-touch ones... 'Clunk'?

"Von Royalstein, old bean. From the Continent, or one of the Dominions, I believe. Funny, though; he's put on an inch or two. And looks dapper with that head of hair now. Glad he's dropped the anonymity: 'Jones'; so obvious!"

Well, hopefully his people don't originate from here, then: https://leagueofgentlemen.fandom.com/wiki/Welcome_to_Royston_Vasey

Well played, Greg Stafford, btw! 😄 p.s. Nice, entertaining thread, everyone. Demonland rises to the occasion yet again!😊

Goodwin's presser: reference to 'looking at transition' at training this week, 'to play to Brodie's strengths'. Also references, thankfully, to 'tinker' and 'change' and 'better', in a context of specific study and learnings from previous Swans games. The proof of those puddings, however...

(c.c. @Roger Mellie) @tilly18 takes the silver! Congrats! @layzie, @Witches Hat, @WalkingCivilWar, @Demonstone, and any other secret followers, I mustn't play favourites so I need to share with you that@mo64 has surmised '...that it has something to do with the Christian names'. To which I reply, to you all, 'Not just the first names!' (Please don't hate me)

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!
