By my count, I've posted 25 of these brainteasers over the past couple of years.

This is the last of them and, fittingly, number 26 has the letter 'z' starring in the title.

Today's team is of varying quality with some very good footballers, some not so great players and others nobody's ever heard of.

What do they have in common?

Answers in a PM of course!

It doesn't actually, a Jones is a compulsive desire to fix something.

Come to D'Land for an education; thanks, MD! 🙂

Though I do note from Samuel Johnson Google that it is 'informal', 'US', and arising from drug culture. So I'm not surprised it has escaped my attention! 😉

It's lucky for you that this is not the correct answer, Mr. Rackham.  Responses in a PM please!

Great God above.

I don't know how this appeared as a post and not a DM, which was what I was attempting. I'm playing Demonland the way the Aussies play spin. Just as well my answer was wrong.

My apologies for (nearly) wrecking the quiz.

As an aside (indeed, as an A(ustralian)side), Leo Little played on the winning side in this game:

https://www.google.com/search?q=remastered+1916+australian+football+match&oq=remastered+1916+australian+football+match&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160.28351j1j4&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:15f6b4ec,vid:B88dBgC01YA

He's the second player from the right in the back row in the team shots of the blue, Australia-map team, and the white-shorts No.5 in the match footage.

Later wounded, he did make it back, joining the Fuchsias in 1919 after playing with University when he joined up.

What a time. Lest we forget.

...and this albeit fascinating and sobering rabbit hole got me no nearer to the answer @Demonstone!

Kudos to @WalkingCivilWar for nutting out the correct answer.

You must be SO tempted to drop some clever hints, @WalkingCivilWar! 🤓

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
