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!

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.

Even more odd: the following team!

HF: B. Green D. Schwarz T. Greene
F:  R. Gray B. Brown J. Brown

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.

H/B:  Lachie Ash   Randall Bone   Luke Lavender

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!

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
