    @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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
