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.

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.

Not sure whether accidental but there is also a clue in this post...

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!

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.

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!

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
