    For some reason I'm not able to send you (Mazer) a message. The system tells me that you're not accepting messages. Either that's a cunning ploy to extend the quiz or we're never going to be able to resolve this quiz in the usual way.

    I have the answer, by the way. As evidence, you could have included this very short forward line of A. Maric V. Cattoggio R. Owen

    Just tried to send my PM and it's telling me that Mazer Rackham can't receive messages.

    Like @La Dee-vina Comedia, I am confident I know the answer and would proffer R. Grinter, R. Richards and N. Smith as another example.

    Elon Musk has not been able to solve the quiz and is using his internet robots to prevent messages to me. That's the most likely explanation. Either that or (long shot) something has gone wrong with the d'land site.

     

    Two correct answers so far.

    Another hint ... it is frustrating not being able to solve this one. Please, now that you have a couple of correct solutions.

    Mazer (rat!), this solution near ruined dinner. Really, you upset the eating. Get thee elsewhere!

    There is a hint in the first post. "What links these players".

    Also the forward lines proposed by LdVC, demonstone and tilly18 comply.

    Why would good old Vinnie Cattoggio be given a key position, surrounded by guys with names like Maric and Owen?

    TRnB provided an entire compliant sentence.

    @Demonstone, @Mazer Rackham, @Lucifers Hero, @La Dee-vina Comedia, @layzie, @tilly18, @Deemania since 56, @Ethan Tremblay, @mo64, @Neil Crompton, @reynolds46, and a few others from previous quizzes who I can't immediately bring to mind:

    Actually, not such a bad participant list, that (maybe we're not as far as I thought from putting together a 'What links this group' team of our own?!) but what could we do to attract more players?

    Cash prizes? Or liquid ones? (quality of course, Sir@Bitter but optimistic and your more retiring 'Lander comesting fraternity)

    !!!!!! As if The Manor's wine cellar would contain anything as vulgar as " comesting" quality!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
