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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
