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.

    Did you make this up yourself?

    It's a fine team as you can plainly see!

    What do these players have in common?

    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"!

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
