    @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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
