Hanks?😬

Not many weeks ago, we looked sadly at how far the other trailblazer, the Bulldogs, had fallen. If the final siren went now we fall to second last. With the Bulldogs - and Collingwood - now above us. Mick's presser will not be comfortable viewing.

Late team changes: Honorary bench - well, couch - positions for Bob 'Chimp' Skilton and Kevin 'Bulldog' Murray. Neither up to attending. I hope the game is gentle to them.

I thought this might be Dick Fenton-Smith? And, on the left, is that Brian Dixon's chin? If so, is that the rest of him? Are you still here, @Ethan Tremblay, to tick things off as we rack our brains/internets?

It'll eventually be back-ended anyway. Which is preferable to front-ended...

What were we then?🥺

This is a very good point, layz. Chalk it up with all the others 😊

...and shared many other stories over the years, I guess, Ethan? A rich Dees background for you, then. 😊

The ultimate quiz: can anyone name any of the seven clearly identifiable. Here, I think, might be the 'pool' to draw from?

Confirmed: add Mackin and Zanker. Do we have the longest and/or most impactful injury list in the league?

Time for this again, I think..

Wow.

😌 'Dream' emoji, please, @Demonland

He's a specialist at it! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.afl.com.au/news/1162963/big-st-kilda-saint-tom-campbell-on-unexpected-guest-life-as-a-back-up-and-whats-next/amp

Chances of JJ being the sub? I think him getting a played role in a premiership is my sole interest in this game. My interest otherwise was fulfilled with the exit of Geelong.

Plane talking, as always, Mr Stone.

Reinforced.

Shelley Heath off injured? 😟

...and they were? (I, like hopefully many others, am an X re X)

You've caused me to re-read the article, Katrina, thank you. When I posted it, I'd thought it supportive of Club and player. But I do now see its opportunism and possible/probable misrepresentation, particularly in the action and motive ascribed to the Club. (I don't have any problem as such, though, with using Davis or his actual(?) words.) I regret my post.

Note to self: Time to put a line through some of the greater expectations for this season and settle back into the pre-2021 MFC supporter vibe of celebrating the 'little wins'. Actual wins are going to be hard to come by.

From the Shun (no; it's in my local coffee shop)

I sit at your feet, daisy, mind freed, open to receive. Om.

Don't you, quietly, in this one? I do. Come to think of it, isn't league a parallel universe?

We'd probably be barracking for St Kilda. Or Essendon.
