@Monbon has PM-ed me an answer which, though not my correct answer, wins the Perpetual Prize for Most Amazing, Arcane, Academic and Attention-to-detail Alternative Answer. I suspect such an effort will never be matched.

As to my correct answer, remember it is made to order not only for Monbon but also for @DubDee. I'm thinking the latter might be more at my level of Google-able knowledge than Professor Monbon's knowledge level 😄

The answer is not initially obvious.  Or is it?

You tease!

So I can't understand why you haven't got my Smith team yet.

Or have I missed something?

Why thank you, maam, aw shucks. I've lived and breathed classical music since my dad's record of Beethoven's 9 - about the Brotherhood of Man- permeated my thick skull as I lay moaning with a migraine.  I was 14. A confirmed Manfred Mann, Rolling Stones devotee till then. True story.

Appreciate the call out mate. Sorry for the late reply I’ve actually been working, which is not like me

im afraid I’m at a loss. I don’t have a cryptic mind I’m afraid.

...and the words are names - classically, for @Monbon


If Weetra was replaced in the team by Yze, one of the names would be a bird of a different feather altogether.  :D

Ah, yes, and witch places would appear if Byrnes was replaced by Bourke!


I didn't post the solution because it's obvious and I thought my comments show that I worked it out.  Have PM'ed you.

Also, I understood this was for the benefit of DubDee, Monbon etc and didn't want to spoil the party.

Congrats, Mr D, and received and acknowledged! thought my 'why so shy' showed that I knew that you knew that...

And very considerate, though I'm not sure everyone is having 'obvious' spring to mind!😉

Not dumb, just not warped enough!

You're searching for 3 'classical' names. A hint: their letters total 19.

As requested, @Monbon.

Look at their initials and you'll find, with their nationalities (thank you @Mazer Rackham!):

Italian violinist Arcangelo _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Spanish cellist Pablo _ _ _ _ _ _

French conductor Andre _ _ _ _ _ _

 

Over and out.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
