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.

    Forgot the silverware demonstone - just send a decent Shiraz to The Manor at Romsey 

    BTW is the above team , currently owned by ldc , also a brain buster?

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

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
