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! 😉

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

    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.

    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!

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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
