I did pretty well. I mean she wasn't on the other side of the pool or anything, but it went a good 3 metres!

I don't even know if I can do that if I tried.

I was gonna make videos for my burgeoning Youtube account this year but I couldn't be arsed, and I also forgot the password and email I used to make the Youtube account, so it died in its infancy.

However I made this one quickly as I thought it'd be fun to look back on in the years to come. The very first possessions of a number of our current players (dating back to 2017, when the AFL app would allow me to view highlights.)

The obvious highlight is the Campbell ---> Gulden ---> McDonald triple whammy, but some other good ones include a clever hard ball win by Roberts, a clever soccer assist by Sheldrick, and a great corridor kick by Rowbottom.

(Ignore the white bar at the bottom of the screen that I had no idea how to get rid of.)

That is GOLD. More please.

Obviously I'm biased but the Sheldrick soccer pass to Heeney for goal stays forever in my memory.

You hold on to things like grudges. You need to let it go. You will be happier in life.

Well his silly rant was not needed. My knees are rusted badly thanks for the concern

Still holding on to things in the past. Needs to let it go for the sake of his knees.

I like the Koala , he is knowledgeable on the list and makes a good chart

They are as good as my back , infact the war might help

All I hear is complaining. Just more complaining. Let your grudges go and your knees and back will feel much better.

Too far gone Rusty , doesn't do the mindset any good

We don't

Oh my stars that is incredible, one of the funniest things I've read. The line "facing a future so bleak their fans rank somewhere between 'US action on gun control' and 'St Kilda's trophy room' on the hope index" is the stuff of legend, truly brilliant.

I'm sitting on a beautiful cruise ship in Okinawa Harbour and I literally spat my Mai Tai all over the lady sitting on the deckchair opposite me!

Both she and my husband were unimpressed...

Kudos for taking the Off season seriously Jewels. If only we had other fans so dedicated.

Thanks for that Caesar. Wingards one and only possession as a Swan was pretty good under pressure

 

[Callipygian]

Great contribution caesar! Thank you.

I think one of those first touches that hasn't been mentioned yet but deserves a shout out is Olly Florent's run down the wing to get the ball and then kick deep inside 50 where it was marked by Reid. Hopefully a goal assist. Quality.

Blakey's first touch sadly didn't come to much.

I think it speaks to the power of selective memory. A number of those first touches have lingered in my mind over the years but for some reason Blakey inexplicably missing a simple handball target 5 metres away didn't stick in the memory...

Even if the chart needs to carry a warning for the colour blind, those prone to epilepsy or migraine sufferers.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Thanks caesar88 for that fantastic piece of work. It is a great idea and something I’d hope the Club would be interested in.

Of note, each of the first possies captured some of the essence of why they were recruited in the first place.

The Campbell->Gulden->McDonald ones alone are Gold and could not have been scripted better.

The Sheldrick one obviously displayed his smarts and composure.

Caesar, I think H McLaughlin would pay good money to do an alternate voice over for The Chad’s first possession.

Meh, what the **** do I do with my time now the girls have finished for 3 and a half months? Off season sucks.
