In my DM to Timothy R&B, I gave my answer but indicated that I couldn't work out how David Neitz fitted in. Having now belatedly realised he was also called "Neater" by some, I'm satisfied that my answer is correct, irrespective of Timothy's opinion.

I'm feeling quite Trumpian today!

Thanks to you, too, 'LDVC', for keeping this on the board. Apart from @Mazer Rackham (who would now seem to have tripped himself up! 😉) where are all our good friends*? I hope I haven't offended anyone ( @Demonstone? )

Anyway, now here am again, as a consequence, back in the unloved, sad, sorry realm of this thread, bumping it along - perhaps inevitably to bomb and crash as @Deemania since 56 may have foreshadowed - with another 🤔, about 'Neater'. Ploise exploin!

I'm happy for my actual answer to be trumped! And I'll be happy to add some Grange to the beer and bubbles, which you seem to be unsatisfied with!

Meanwhile, I've got silver and bronzeware to get rid of. Well here's another clue for you all: S. Powell-Pepper's the unlucky player.

(* Reading the 'Perception of usernames' and 'Music / grand final' threads, maybe my team's common link isn't 'The Word' for our friends?)

(And, p.s.:👍 to the 'R&B' contraction of my name!)

Roger Mellie has grabbed the silver with both hands. Well done, sir!

 

And, at last, Reynolds46 has grabbed the bronze, with his two mitts. Well done to you, too, sir! (gender assumption based on his(?) Homer Simpson avatar).

B:        ToMorrow Never Knows     Glass Onion   Norwegian Wood

H/B:    Sun King     Maxwell's Silver Hammer     Fool On The Hill

C:        Strawberry Fields Forever     Baby You're A Rich Man     Long And Winding Road

H/F:     And Your Bird Can Sing     Oh! Darling     ACross The Universe

F:         Good Day Sunshine     David Neitz, (Revolution) 9     Dear Prudence

R:        Martha My Dear     Blackbird     Rocky Raccoon

I/C:      Ballad Of John And Yoko     Blue Jay Way    Doctor Robert    I Will

Em:      Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

And now I've got a feeling I can let it be. I'll be on my way; I'm so tired. Perhaps I should have known better. Goodbye.

Nice work. I still reckon my answer was correct, though. Just not what you were looking for!

For those who care, my answer was that every person named had as either their first or last name a word otherwise used in English as a noun, adjective, etc. I struggled with Neitz until I realised he's also called "Neater".

And further for those who care (I suspect we're in an empty room, though, LDVC!) my PM'd response recognised this: "I realise that you are, in a general sense, correct, LDVC. Not trophy-worthy yet, but keep going...". Song titles, pretty much by definition, are going to use actual words (though not sure that will hold true for the genres under discussion in a couple of other threads atm! (apologies @WalkingCivilWar and others, whose interests and knowledge impress me no end 😊))

Anyway, credit where credit is due, and a Merit Badge speeds its way to you, LDVC.

(p.s. Apologies for likely confusion in my earlier post, with references to Mazer and various drinks. I had conflated our PM convo with one I was having with Mazer at the same time. D'Oh!)

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
