    I know where the name comes from. It’s the same reason The Lovin’ Spoonful chose their name. 😏

    If I wasn’t the lady that I am, I would’ve spelled ‘come’ differently.

    Ok I'm going to answer number one in five mins so I dont have to award prize.

    Pds:.prize wont be split in event of drawn game and bonus question did not have points applied. Game writer reserves the right to stay the cheap sod that he is.

    Myth apparently.  Have a look at Snopes to discover the real reason.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
