With the Port game being in the early slot of Thursday night, this week's quiz is going up a day before usual as well.

Again we have a team (a quite good one, you'd have to admit) of AFL/VFL players past and present, in position from the backline. 

What do they have in common?

B:  Ross Thornton   Harris Andrews   Mark Roberts

H/B:  Easton Wood   Peter Foster   Frank Davis

C:  Josh Kelly   Tim Watson   Jayden Hunt

H/F:  Scott Thompson   Jack Watts   Taylor Adams

F:  Liam Ryan   Sam Day   Zac Fisher

R:  Peter Moore   Shane Crawford   Scott West

I/C:  Jarrod Berry   Lewis Taylor   Colin Garland   Daryl Griffiths

    A found a few…

    They all have first names and surnames;

    They all brush their teeth with their right hand;

    They all kicked a goal after the siren to win a game in their backyards.

    Despite Mazer Rackham's James Bond joke above, he's just PMed me with the correct answer.

    Happy to leave it open for longer if people still wish to torture themselves.

    Chuck? Or music -related. Now I'm thinking it's film/cinema linked.

    Well in that case, they were all involved in the film industry. Actors, directors, Oscar winners is my best shot.

    Hf line is all Aussie... Jack Thompson, Naomi Watts, and, um, ah, hmm, Philip Adams?

    I only ever get two in a set and I'm usually wrong on them, too

    I think enough people have hit upon the correct answer.

    Not only are the players' surnames the same as movie stars, they are all female actors.

    Mazer Rackham, maximum bob and Fanatique Demon all share this week's prize which is my AFLX All Nations team (liberties may have been taken with some names!).

    The Players:  Peter German, Ben Holland, Heath Scotland, Andrew Ireland, Barnaby French, Andrew Welsh, Des English and Ray Finn.

    The Coach:  Wayne Brittain

    The Reserves:  "Turkey" Tom Carroll, "Aussie" Jones, Mark "Russian" Jamar, Kevin "Hungary" Bartlett, Charlie Cameroon.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
