They're not very difficult. I didn't want anyone still concentrating on cracking them while the game is on tomorrow nite.

Not to you since you’re the one who compiled them.

Anyone want the answer?

No idea but Robbie flower was definitely good enough to make 2 of the teams.... JKH on the other hand also made 2 🙃

Don’t need it. Worked it out myself. Didn’t I, Maze? 😉

With no assistance from anyone whatsoever, but can you show your membership card for us all?

All Melbourne teams should have a Robbie Flower in them, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Sure. Just gimme a sec. 
*runs to turn off microwave and hopes 5 minutes of the allocated two hours cooking time hasn’t caused much damage *

Quarter time scores. Team 1 has been solved. Every players has double letters in their name. In fact, they all have TWO double letters in their name but I wasn't clever enough to work out a away to make that the true answer, with single double letters not getting over the line.

Jjrogan, mo64, radar, LDVC and Lucifer all got it, with a special mention to Lucifer who was the only to explicitly describe how R. Robertson could be in a team of "doubles". And an extra special mention to Civil, who deliberately laid off the pace to give everyone else a chance.

 

Team 2 we have a clubhouse leader. Team 3 we've had some early attempts, but are they correct? The fullness of time will tell.

This thread needs to be promoted, to give us something to do in the (too) long break between Rounds 1 and 2.

And to make it interesting, here's a team made up entirely of Melbourne players, past and present. Everyone is in exactly the right position, even though some never played that role in their life. What am I looking for?

FB: May  Elshaugh  Lord

HB: Bourke  Osborne  Usher

C: Richards  Neal-Bullen Emselle

HF: Dixon  Elliott  McDonald

FF: Oliver  Neitz  Schwarz 

R: Petracca  Robertson  Eishold

I/C: Mann  Ingerson  Ellingworth  Ridley

Sub: Salem

(It's another team without the great Robbie Flower - but there is just no position for him in this team.)

Gold medal is awarded to Demonstone.

My PM to Mazer wouldn't send for some reason (he's blocked me?  ),  but I think Team 2 is based on the jumper numbers making up the formula for Pi (3.141592 etc). 

I've posted this publicly because at least one other Demonlander had already solved it.

Go ahead. Silver is still up for grabs.

If this is correct, it would have been most appropriate of Mazer to post this quiz on Monday, which of course was "Pi Day" being 14th of March, or 3.14 in American terms.

Look at you! You’re M.I.A. for a few days then you just waltz on in and do your usual thing of boss-level ownage. 
And yes, I know ownage isn’t a real word, except it is now coz you. 🤨

Walking Civil War is the silver medallist. And as both Demonstone and WCW know, you don't need me to tell you if you've worked it out. It will be self-evident when you do.

Some of your puns are indeed block-worthy but I have put no block on you so I can only attribute it to A.I. getting better and better.

Who's the D'lander who "solved" it?

The "clubhouse leader" you referred to.  You'll have to tell us who it was.
