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.  :D

    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.

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
