Well folks, it's Friday and still two days until the mighty Demons play again.  Given that it's been a while since we had one of these, not to mention the need for something to lighten the mood of the site somewhat, here is another puzzle for you.

This one is pretty easy and, if it goes off as quickly as I suspect, I have another, trickier one to post.

What do the players in this team have in common?  (You will notice that former Melbourne players are named in red.)

B:  Ross Thornton   Peter Hamilton   Alistair Nicholson

H/B:  Ryan Ferguson   Peter Foster   Peter Dean

C:  Lachie Whitfield   Terry Wallace   Wayne Linton

H/F:  Terry Bright   Lance Arnold   Doug Heywood

F:  Shai Bolton   Darryl Sutton    Steven Armstrong

R:  Rhys Stanley   Nathan Buckley   Noah Anderson

I/C:  Wally Donald   Phil Seaton   Wayne Gordon   Les Woodford.

Is that relevant to the solution, or is that a 'red' herring?

This won't be the answer, but I've noticed that 10 of those names end in -on.

Are they all the names of criminals?  I hasten to add (to avoid defamation proceedings), that I don't mean the footballers themselves. Peter Foster (not the footballer!) certainly is.

In response to Hardtack:  Yes.  :D

Sorry LDVC, not crims.

Hey, hang on.... yes to which part of my question? 😂


If you combine all of the letters in their names, they form an anagram that when solved, reveals the name of that railway station in Wales?

Sorry hardtack, you still wouldn't have enough letters for that railway station!

the letters when converted to numbers contain the coordinates of the location of the covenant of the ark

Uhm, no it’s not. 
Also you once pulled me up for using non-words, remember? So what’s the go with “flabbergastation” ????

 I can think of another word beginning with F that applies to this puzzle. Yep, starts with F and ends with K and it’s not firetruck. 😉

feedback?

fiddlestick?

flack?

flask?

freak?

fieldwork ....... that must be it


All the surnames are shared with a famous person who's first name is Barry.

Possibly vice presidents of the United States?

No, no.  I'm afraid my gabber is truly flastered.

I’ll give you a clue. It’s got four letters and it rhymes with Buck. 
If you still can’t work it out here’s another clue: the second letter is U and the third letter is C. 
You’ll work it out eventually, Mazer. 😁

 

Has it got anything to do with colour of hair? In particular, red hair?

Flabbergastation (flabber + gas station) is a word usually only heard in the USA and it refers to the sensation of scratching your head and thinking "WTF?" when you see something like this.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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

    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.
