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.

    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!

     

    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!

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
