Demonstone's Brain Baffling Bamboozler

[Demonstone 23,113]

Feeling nervous?  A tad impatient?  Don't know how you can possibly endure a further nine days?

Here's another complete waste of time to occupy your mind.

As usual, I have compiled a team with a common factor.  You will observe that these players are drawn from different eras.

I would rate this one as very easy.

First in with the solution wins the gold medal, everlasting glory PLUS a special bonus prize.

Please answer via PM only to keep the teaser open for others to play along. 

I'll post any incorrect answers to help narrow the range of possibilities.

 

B:  Michael Prior   Ted Potter   Glenn Archer

H/B:  Joel Smith   Bert Deacon   Ken Hunter

C:  Tom Cutler   Ken Judge   Oskar Baker

H/F:  Jeff Farmer   Paul Abbott   Dan Butler

F:  Cale Hooker   John Butcher   James Cook

R:  Rowan Marshall   Glenn Hawker   Josh Caddy

I/C:  Sam Draper   Kade Chandler   Alex Sexton   Charlie Constable.

I've now received five correct answers so it's time to reveal that this week's team all have surnames that are the titles of professions/occupations.  There was a little clue in the second line of my post.

Congratulations to La Dee-vina Comedia (gold),  Bitter but optimistic (silver) and Lucifer's Hero (Bronze) who have taken out this week's metaphorical metalware.

As promised, LDVC also wins the bonus prize which is ownership of a special team.  No doubt we all reckon that the current Melbourne team is great, but here is a Greater Melbourne side.  

B:  Michael Seddon   Andy Preston   Marty McKinnon

H/B:  Stephen Newport   Keith Warburton   Darren Baxter

C:  George Hastings   Andrew Macleod   Scott Clayton

H/F:  Nakia Cockatoo   Richard Dennis   Luke Beveridge

F:  Ray Windsor   Richard Osborne   Curtly Hampton

R:  Peter Somerville   Alan Ruthven   Peter Bell

I/C:  David Blackburn   Ian McCrae   Raymond Lalor   Stephen Officer

Nah, it's a freebie.  It would be too easy to run as a brainteaser.

I still have a couple up my sleeve, one of which I believe is so tough is will be unsolved.

Will post again possibly this weekend and/or sometime next week.

If it were a brain buster, it would be on the Training thread.
