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.

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?

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
