    @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.

    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! I 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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
