Yep I’ll be sticking to the find-a-word puzzles myself. Makes me feel smart 🙂

Nah, such brain stretching  is a way to realise you are too old for your own good .... had no idea about this one.

Over 500 views but only one correct answer and very few attempts.  C'est la vie.  I thought that last clue would make it obvious that all the players in my team share a surname with a bass guitarist. 

The meaning behind each clue:

1.  The answer looks fishy.     A type of fish is the bass which looks the same (but is pronounced differently).

2.  Usually 4 - but not always.  Bass guitars usually have four strings, but sometimes have five or six.

3.  Fred BASSet cartoon.

4.  Perks.  Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman was born Bill Perks but changed his name.

5.  Jason McCartney.   A blatant nod to Beatle Paul McCartney who played bass in the band.

 

Here now is the team with the bass players' names:

B:        Ron Carter     Bootsy Collins     Ray Brown

H/B:    Dee Murray     Dave Holland     Donald 'Duck' Dunn

C:        Kim Gordon     Mike Mills     Bruce Thomas

H/F:    Willie Dixon     Mark King     Lewis Johnson

F:        Cliff Burton     Jack Bruce     Geezer Butler

R:        Geddy Lee     Marcus Miller     John Paul Jones

I/C:     Esperanza Spalding     Berry Oakley     Stu Cook     Stanley Clarke

I'm looking forward to a real one: great violinists, cellists, conductors, none of this pseudo music junk...

Who am I? I got into trouble in 2022 for being too Franz Lizst at a restaurant in Prahran.

Let me guess, if I may? 

Our daughter has nominated this same restaurant as her birthday celebration event later this month.

Welcome to the 'Annoyers Club', PD!

You're allowed to set up your own thread (though I'm sure @Demonstone is flattered!)

Meanwhile, 🤔

Oops......seems it's been done before.

All Melbourne Cup winning jockeys. 

OK, at the risk of WCW letting down my car tyres, I will work on something a bit more unique.

I'll leave it open for a while for others to ponder.

Good remembering @WalkingCivilWar. I'd hope PD would faithfully report that my PM-ing showed I didn't recall it, but, 'post-race', I do realise I felt a nag-ging feeling when it finally came to me... As I did when selecting my Norm Smith coached team. Though that has seemed to prove to be not the case!

It was actually Demonstone who advised me Timothy (very graciously I might add). WCW was mentioned only to ensure I meet the EFFS test. I fear your Norm Smith puzzle may put you at risk. 😰

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
