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.

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.

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.

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

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: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
