    @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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
