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! 🤓

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
