Engorged Onion

Pipe and slippers on in front of the open fire peoplezzz I've never been more relaxed at 1/4 time throughout 2021.

Well, that’s rather forthright if you. anyways, the answer will be anticlimactic now.

Indeed, it’s a random riddle as well. Neural pathways take me where they do.

Anything to do wearing vests? or Irish musicians?

Heh! I was there for that game in amongst the Geelong supporters. Staring off into the middle distance for 3 and half quarters. I've said it a few times here, but the comeuppance was when they celebrated Corey Enright's 300 *prior* to the match with plenty of fanfare. It felt like they believed the home win was a foregone conclusion. If I recall Bernie Vince played a blinder down here and we won by perhaps 3 goals. It was deathly silence. And instead of staring off into the middle distance... I stared every [censored] in the eye... ? Anyway, 186 wasn't Geelong's doing. It was the MFC's doing.

Indeed I was... here I was being all Vic-centric assuming the game was at the 'G'.

I live in regional Vic. Stuck in Traffic? Seriously? As in we can't travel more than 5km?, so how is this possible as a reason? Or am I out of touch with how Melbourne traffic operates? Is there something else afoot? Something being kept away from public view? 20 minute delay??? 20 minutes briefing? Half time announcement? tin foil hat???

Good question! For me, a Richmond win... they'll drop off over the remaining rounds anyway

I could clearly see that it was divisible by 11 or 3 but was stuck on looking at it as a singular team reference to cricket...

@Timothy Reddan-A'Blew - was the 33 indicative of how many keepers there have been for Australia?

All listed were only good enough to play in the Third XI's at their school?

Is the clue the use of the word Sir?

Weirdly I read that as Melton.

How very European of you. (great idea!)

Are you really skeptical? Or do you just phrase things from a negative perspective as a rule of thumb? can you seriously imagine someone, having run 4/5 other brain teasers suddenly presenting one and saying there is a connection when there isn’t, just to have a laff?

the only other topic I have would be Indigenous Australians?

Is there a prominent Welsh poet on the Half Forward line @demonstone? *edit also a british/welsh politician on the half forward line. ** ok two lines of enquiry. Nationality and Literature.

Mother Tounge is a ripper - reckon I have read it 10 times. Isle of View @daisycutter

jeggings??

Greatest place on earth.... not enough footballers plucked from obscurity down that way (myself included).

You never forget the biggest discrepancy when your expectations were not met, particularly when something matters (oh, why does football [censored] matter?) I too remember that time vividly, marginally older than you Col, for once being bewildered that we were on top (seems in retrospect, much like the team).

I'm not sure if there is a bias towards Melbourne here, but by my count there are 6 in this rolling AA team. https://themongrelpunt.com/afl-season-2021/2021/07/08/rolling-all-australian-team-round-16/?fbclid=IwAR01OkX4uW8F_kwP4Xzf73ihhTRnLRKFR9M0nPg0PuO6YKTSEiIb8rqNxLA

Just a public service announcement over the tannoy. "Good teams, do not lose to teams lower then them on the ladder" "Thank you all for listening".

???? Sunday marquee game?? Marketing? Not sure what you mean... If you're inferring The Dogs are marketing him (which I'm not sure you are), then it's all Channel 7. My thoughts are that back in the day, it was the club that pushed the agenda for Watts, not the stations...

*Brent Grgic, I brought a coffee once in the queue with him, swanning around North Geelong at his real estate agency... I hadn't the gumption to mention my hope that he was the second coming of Gary Lyon.... *didn't meet him
