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!

 

B:          Tony Free     Bradley Sparks     Albert Proud

H/B:     Jayden Short     Paul Dear     Conor Stone

C:         Michael Long     Simon Black     Jason Wild

H/F:     Jason Love     Jonathon Brown     Kieren Jack

F:         Kerry Good     Max King     James Cook

R:         Peter Street     Nathan Jones     Scott West

I/C:      Herbert Friend     Brad Shine     Jordan Sweet     Leo Little

    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! 😉

    Another one?  OK then.

    In addition to the clue hidden in post #3, I can reveal that the injury sub for this team is Peter Light.

    There is a clue in there.  You'll see what I mean when the solution is revealed.

    In response to a few suggestions along the same lines, please be advised that the answer has nothing to do with grammar nor is it related in any way to movies.  Having made that clear, here then is a pictorial hint:

    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
