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 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
