Bananas! Are you there, @Redleg, @old dee and the rest of the NoT$NoB$ crew?

This is a clue??!!

...though, in the presence of @ManDee's with-it erudition, that would be zee, zee, zee, zee?

SHOW CLUE

Come to D'Land for an education; thanks, MD! 🙂 Though I do note from Samuel Johnson Google that it is 'informal', 'US', and arising from drug culture. So I'm not surprised it has escaped my attention! 😉

My first conclusion, too, but Chunk spoils that party, Mazer...

Why, why, why??!!😮

This was a pretty nice close second best though! (...though, of course, you'll then need to do this: 🙉🙈🙊...🟤🟡)

VC: thus have I watched it yet again. Paraphrasing a well known ode, "For it grows not old..."

Yes; needed, "...and I'll see you in court."

But would they have been up to Victoria Park* or Windy Hill*?... (*I'm only going by what others fondly remember)

That was @WalkingCivilWar's reference, my good Man - I, ditto, am an expert; she, not so sure... Anyways, I take as gospel(ish) her assurance - trusted, though invested, correspondent that she is - that 'tis otherwise. You and I, though, will continue to 'watch this (increasing?😉) space'. And, regardless, we both know hairlines matter not a jot!

Just watched the Josh Schache 'Off The Track' interview. I was interested that he singled out Judd McVee very positively. Perhaps Judd's trajectory noticed through 2022 by posters above has continued? Is he a prospect for 2023? (I think others may have canvassed this on the current Salo thread?) Thoughts? (other than reflections on who singled him out!😉)

A nice cultural turn (fleeting though it will no doubt be...) Sláinte!

I hear you, I hear you...

I'm sorry, what's this about not being able to make him drink? Ah, I see; 'water'...

#judge/book/cover, @WalkingCivilWar? Paraphrasing from some book or other, 'Beneath that [insert self-effacing adjective] exterior beats a heart of [insert self-appreciating noun]'

His environmental credentials, at least, are impeccable.

Not a moniker that would play well at a job interview, Layzie...

On that basis, presuming they got to it earlier than last time and it's not worse this time, he's 2 months until being able to 'return to play'.

Thanks, DL. I'm responding further over on the dedicated thread.

My recollection, too, WJ (welcome back, btw). Can anyone track down the contemporary reports? And how long he was out?

...but did I miss something, Mon? The Age report seems to say the Scats are tickety-boo!?

Yep, it's been a fascinating thread, hasn't it, Macca? Including the stuff on other sports' histories. I'm one of those to whom you refer 🧐

...except, particularly in the context of Carter's Geelong-centric thesis, when it's 2022's vs 2021's!
