    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.

    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: 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
