Mallett is correct.   All other suggestions are not.

Only player eliminated for being too good thus far is WCW.

I just worked out number 6. 🤓

    You can PM me with your suggestions if you like WCW.  (World Cryptic Wizard)

    It must be so obvious that I’m champing at the bit to answer more of them 😆

    Massie not correct, I'm sorry Mazer.

    WCW has sent me a PM with two correct answers but is not allowed to post them here according to the draconian rules of this brainteaser. 

    Do other players think I should make an exception and let her show off on this occasion?

    YES!

    Oh, you said other posters. 
    As you were.

    4 Bob Massie (of Massey Ferguson fame)

    Try Callum Ferguson if Bob Massie is incorrect.

    mo64 found a way to get around the two correct answers rule. 😆

    No he didn't.  Ferguson is incorrect!

    Only two correct answers per player at this stage, mo.

    I've now received two PMs with the correct answer to Q5 and have relented to congratulate WCW and mo64 for working out that the answer is Andy Bichel, being an anagram of "I belch" when brought up.

    Mazer also sent me a correct answer, perhaps unaware that he still had the right to post in this thread.  He doesn't any more after cracking Q8 by answering Colin "Funky" Miller, or one who grinds away all day in his mill.

    WCW also got Q6 (edit: also Q7) correct but I'll save those reveals for later.

    Still a few to go.  Have at it Demonlanders!

    Not Katich and I'm not sure how you made that connection.  :unsure:

    I was thinking of his mate pup.

    That doesn't make it any clearer!

    Solving cryptics requires a warped mind.  Yours is clearly not warped enough!  :D

    So, you thought Mick was a reference to Michael Clarke?  And that because Clarke’s nickname is Pup and a pup is a dog and dogs don’t like cats and Simon Katich’s name has a first syllable that sounds like Cat and therefore if Clarke was a selector he wouldn’t select Katich for this reason?

    Is that what you’re thinking?

    for the love of god, please say no

    I'm not even close to your league.

    I must say I'm at the stage of offering cash for answers.

    You may send me your questions on the back of an unmarked $50 bill.  :D

    I'm thinking it may be time to reveal both the correct answers that WCW has in the bank.  Any objections?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
