Spring is here, the grass is riz, it's still ten days until the Prelim iz.

What better time to roll out another quiz?  As usual, you need to work out the common factor with these players.

Answers in a PM please so we can keep it going a bit longer.

 

B:  Marty (Tom) Gleeson   John (Ronnie) Barker   Ben (Woody) Allen

H/B:  Cameron (Lenny) Bruce   Jared (Joan) Rivers   Chris (Paul) McDermott

C:  Jordan (Jerry) Lewis   Greg (Robin) Williams   Marc (Eddie) Murphy

H/F:  Dustin (Steve) Martin   Jesse (Paul) Hogan   Chris (Billy) Connolly

F:  Anthony (Chris) Rock   Peter "2MP" (Steven) Wright   Michael (Ed) Byrne

R:  Jason (Lucille) Ball   Patrick (Rodney) Dangerfield   Sam (David) Mitchell

    From everyone’s favourite spelling pedant, this is bemusing. 😄

    Hardtack has correctly identified the connection and is today's silver medallist.

    As usual, Mazer Rackham was first to crack it open in seconds flat and wins the gold medal.

    Bronze still up for grabs.

    I've just had something unexpected crop up and will be away from the computer until tomorrow.  Rather than keep people dangling, I'll reveal that the answer is all the players share a surname with a comedian (their names in purple).

    Nice to see you recognise Frankie Boyle in your side Demonstone, albeit on the bench. Personally I'd be building my side around him. As for the answer to your quiz however I have no idea unfortunately.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
