They are all towns or areas of Victoria?

Bingo!  The surnames of all the players are Victorian country towns or localities.

The red "clue" was indeed a red herring.  Sorry Hardtack!

The virtual prize is therefore shared between Cyclops and Mazer Rackham, who PMed me earlier but declined the temptation of hogging all the glory.

Ready for another one?

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.

Funniest portmanteau ever!!!

Did you make this up yourself?

Don’t know if DS is a genuinely funny bastard or a lowdown plagiarist.

All my own work, WCW.

I had to think fast in order to mount a defence against my cold-blooded murdering of the English language.

I think it might be 'frock'... it's like walking into a Collette Dinnigan store and the first thing that comes to mind is "frocking hell"!

Each player has a vowel in each name.

[Demonstone 23,338]

Incorrect, Redleg.  Some have more than one.

my response was ambiguous, ht, i could have meant in the biblical sense

but if as you say it was only once i'm prepared to put it down to accidental rather than cultural appropriation

ahhh... as in "go forth and multiply"; yes, in that sense I have definitely frocked up on more than one occasion.

It would involve a slip.

To quote Sgt Schultz, "I know nothiiiiing!"

[In Harmes Way 7,840]

This one's easy. They all played for Melbourne.

they all played their first game (or last game) for mfc in a different year?

[Demonstone 23,338]

Not the answer I was after, dc.

[Fanatique Demon 2,680]

They all hold the games record for their number?

[Demonstone 23,338]

And .... we have a winner!  All players have the distinction of playing the most number of games for Melbourne wearing that particular jumper number.

Congratulations Fanatique Demon.  Tres bon!

Garlett may have misled a few but he is the only Melbourne player to ever wear number 67 in a game.

 

More quizzes will be forthcoming, but only after a suitable interval.  Thanks for all the interest.
