I’ve been called a lot of things on here, eg: crazy, unhinged, deranged. And I’ve no problem with that; in fact, I embrace it (I have to because it’s true). But… I’m “Slow”??

I don’t even know what that is but I’m challenging you anyways. 20 paces at dawn (I’ve always wanted to say that). Our weapons? Words!

At the risk of being thought of as 'slow' ...that list is doing my head in ...😵‍💫

Methinks you forgot the clue(s) ...

 

I'll give you the answers to the first two. You'll get the idea. Most of them are pretty obscure though.

26 letters of the alphabet.

Thanks. 

Got it.  A few more:

  • 4:  12 Signs of the Zodiac!
  • 6:  52 Cards in a Pack
  • 18: 12 Months in the Year

I'm happy now! 🙃

I can solve quite a few others but how does the list help in the 'War of Words' duel?

Ps. Well done on those.

Our fast bowlers length is keeping the Kiwis in this.

And Marnus and Maxi’s superb fielding saved a couple of certain boundaries. Bring on the poms!!!

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
