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. 🤓

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

Some might say that I'm the bent one. Anyway, onto those outstanding (due that is, not remarkable) quiz answers. Q1.  I mentioned this one was very sneaky and that the commentator wasn't con

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.

Try Callum Ferguson if Bob Massie is incorrect.

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

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!

I was thinking of his mate pup.

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?

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
