Greetings, ladies, gentlemen and those with a gender agenda.  

It's still a week until the Draft takes place and we're all looking for something to fill in the time.

Here is a team consisting solely of Melbourne Football Club players, past (mainly) and present and named in position.

PM please (not Stanley Bruce et al!) if you can identify the common factor.  It's fairly easy.

There may be clues.  There may or may not be prizes.

 

B:        Matthew Whelan     Laurie Fowler     Jake Bowey

H/B:   Jayden Hunt     Lynden Dunn     Nathan Brown

C:        Scott Thompson     Brian Wilson     Daniel Ward

H/F:    Aaron Davey     Brad Miller     Brent Moloney

F:        Tom McDonald     Chris Dawes     Darren Cuthbertson

R:        Jeff White     Nathan Jones     Jordan Lewis

I/C:     Steven O'Dwyer     Jordie McKenzie     Joel Smith     Max Walker

SUB:   Michael Newton

COACH:    Simon Goodwin

    Just the one incorrect response so far that each player's name contains a rarely used letter.  The answer has nothing to do with spelling or matters alphabetical.

    I'll provide a clue in a couple of hours if necessary.

    Nobody's playing so I'm taking the view

    That it's time for me to provide a clue.

    The weather ain't tropical

    But the answer is topical

    And now the rest is up to you.

    My "topical" reference got a bite, but the answer is nothing to do with the World Cup or anything international.

    Quick update before I head out for a few hours.

    @Lucifers Hero has the correct answer and, for her efforts, wins a Top Ten Draft Pick.  Spend it wisely, Luci!

    It would be good to see more female participants.

    Look closely at the OP - there is a clue there.

    Third place and the associated Third Round Draft Pick has been snaffled by @La Dee-vina Comedia, thereby just pipping @Mazer Rackham who will have to settle for a Rookie Draft Selection.

    As hinted at in various ways, the players in my team all share a surname with currently listed AFLW players.

    I believe that @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has another teaser up his sleeve and hereby pass the baton his way.

    That AFLW team if anybody is interested is as follows.  Some surnames are shared by multiple women, of course.

    Oddly, there is both a Tarni Brown and a Tarni White!

     

    B:       Aimee Whelan     Erica Fowler     Hannah Bowey

    H/B:   Bailey Hunt     Hannah Dunn     Tarni Brown

    C:       Stevie-Lee Thompson     Charlotte Wilson     Amber Ward

    H/F:   Brianna Davey     Hayley Miller     Abbi Moloney

    F:       Amy McDonald     Isabel Dawes     Janelle Cuthbertson

    R:       Tarni White     Eloise Jones     Isabella Lewis

    I/C:    Orla O'Dwyer     Ellie McKenzie     Bella Smith     Brooke Walker

    SUB:  Gabby Newton

    COACH:     Sarah Goodwin

    I'd very much like to see Tarni Brown and Tarni White given the nicknames of Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney

    AFLW is always just another click on the mouse to escape ... sorry but it is true. Would never have known / solved this one.

    I knew that team reminded me of something, Mr. Rackham.  This was my attempt from last year.

    Behold the very colourful Rainbow Raiders!  I hope you like the centreline tribute to our disco/clash jumper.

    Calling 2015 National Draft pick number 24, Ben Keays...

    And sorry I missed this one @Demonstone. I've just this last hour arrived back from a warm and sunny (sorry, southern and northern Victorians and inland NSWelsh) mid-north coast NSW road trip, tech free.

    Congrats @Lucifers Hero, @layzie and @La Dee-vina Comedia, and, unrewardedly, @Mazer Rackham. Such 'white bread' names in the team, I doubt I would have made the connection before any of you, although 'Stone's original clueing is rather generously heavy in hindsight!

    So, now, time for me to bat on, apparently!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
