Here we go ladies and germs, back for a short time only and by popular demand (Lucifer's Hero demanded it and she IS very popular), it's another timewaster.

For those who came in late, your challenge is to identify what the players in this team, who are named in position, have in common.  

If you think you know the solution, please send it to me in a PM so I can drag this out for as long as possible. 

Incorrect answers, other helpful information and clues (not guaranteed) will be posted as I see fit.

Prizes will awarded as follows:

First:  What Paddy shot at     mo64

Second:  Not a sausage         reynolds46

Third:  Bugger-all     3183 Dee

 

B:    Mark McVeigh     Robbie Tarrant     Nick Maxwell

H/B:  Phil Read     Peter Foster     Paul Wheatley

C:      Simon Atkins     Greg Williams     Paul Kelly

H/F:  Luke Parker     Oscar Allen     Farren Ray

F:      Liam Ryan     Barry Hall     Bailey Smith

R:      Mark Lee     Scott West     Nathan Jones

I/C:   Max Walker     Michael Barlow     Lewis Taylor     Chris Bond

Over 50 views and only one poster brave enough to have a go so far.

Alas for said intrepid Demonlander, the answer is not that they form double acts in showbiz.

Bravery has nothing to do with it.

A couple of more responses have been received, but I can inform everybody that they are not all songwriters, nor does the thread title have anything to do with the answer.

We have a winner!  Congratulation to mo64 who has snagged first prize.

Another suggestion can be eliminated - the answer has nothing to do with Western Australia.

Silver and bronze still up for grabs.

I'll give you two since you asked so persuasively:

1.  Nothing to do with football

2.  Not related to the names of dogs and cats I've owned

Well done to reynolds46 who has cracked it and therefore wins silver.

Doesn’t matter if first, second or third. The prize is the same.

Another clue, which could be fairly described as obscure.    :D

Tom Gillies.

I tell you I have nfi so you provide an obscure clue. And it’s obscure BY DESIGN. Cheers.

I'm sure you'll appreciate that this brainteaser was not compiled just for you.

With a medal still up for grabs, I'm not going to give the answer away just yet.

Just tell us the answer ffs

Please 😘

I too am surprised by Luci's apparent absence and also that of Mazer Rackham, a perennial winner.

I'll PM the answer to you so that you may get some sleep tonight, mate.  :D

I'm an impatient simpleton and this is giving me the [censored] 🙃

3183 Dee has come up with the correct answer and takes home the bronze.

So we can all get some sleep tonight, I can reveal that all the players in my team share a surname with a well known criminal, both Australian and overseas.

Thanks for your interest and those who played.  It's been a busy night of PMs.

I'll put up my other teaser on Sunday afternoon when there is very little happening football wise.

If anybody's wondering about the Tom Gillies clue, he was said by his team mates to resemble a criminal and earned the nicknames "Crim" and "Homicide".  I did say it was obscure!

LOL.  I was out and only just logged-on so missed the whole show.

Will confess, I wouldn't have got it even with the obscure clue!  Clearly real world crime/crims aren't my thing.

Well done to the medal winners. 

I look forward to ds's Sunday doozie...

Okay @Demonstone, now give us the crims they were representing, you brutish mastermind. Couple of bushrangers there, a US terrorist bomber, a British serial murderer couple, Eric Bana and Faye Dunaway, but the rest?

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
