    Calling @DubDee and @Monbon, in case you missed this new thread 😁

    @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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
