    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!

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

      It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
