Well, that’s rather forthright if you.

anyways, the answer will be anticlimactic now. 

That’s what I was afraid of. 
BTW, Along with Mazer, @deva5610has solved the puzzle. Both solved it earlier but thought there was something else to it. It’s rather simple. So if you think you have it, you probably do.

    If it's already been solved by two posters, it might be time to reveal the answer, put the rest of us dunderheads out of our misery and shift the focus to Crompton's double bunger.

    Personally, I'm suffering a little brainteaser overload so will hold off posting another for a week or two.

    One last clue, and this clue is akin to being given the answer. If nobody solves the teaser in an hour or so, I’ll spill the beans. The clue is:

    “A shy, lateral German doctor”

    Ok, the hour’s up. I know, fastest hour ever. 
    All of the surnames in my team are anagrams of ordinary, everyday words. And that’s it. Simple. 
    I had to withdraw Laird because the anagram of Laird is drail. And while this is a real word, it’s not commonly used. Therefore I gave Narkle a guernsey because his anagram, rankle, is closer to being a common word. 
    The sentence in my final clue (above) is an anagram of they’re all anagrams. Thanks to my buddy Mazer for that one. ? 
    Now, on to Neil’s. It will serve to settle the nerves a little for the next two hours (pre-match).

    GO DEES!!!!!!!

    For those who came in late, here's Crompton's Cruel Cryptic ...

    Here is a team of past Melbourne players. This team is a little old fashioned as it only has 2 interchange players, and there are some names from very long ago. I spent (wasted) a whole afternoon trying to put this together, so i will be dejected if someone gets this "discombobulation" too quickly.  

    B.    Billy Deans                 Tassie Johnson                  John Beckwith

    HB. Frank Davis                 Joe Pearce                          Tony Sullivan

    HF. Andrew Obst             Earl Spalding                       Scott Thompson

    F. John Lord                        Fred Fanning                      Bob Johnson

    R. Jim Stynes                      Paul Wheatley                   Hassa Mann

    INT. Arthur Sowden        Bill Allen

    Not one but two things link this team – one football related and one not.

    What are these 2 links?

    1. They have all kicked a football. 
    2. They all have hair and skin. 
     

    Easy.

    Anyone who wants a change of pace from reading about our dismal performance last night, may like to have a go at this (if you are not also "puzzled" out):

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
