Welcome to Day 3 of the quiz and a sporting gesture. If recent history is any indication this should all be done and dusted today.

    You got me covered WCW, all I’ve been able to come up with is the majority of players on the list have had more than 1 jumper number throughout their career.

    With respect BA, you’re as far from the answer as you could possibly be. And then even a little bit further. 😂

    According to Witches Hat, I’m very close to cracking it and have been pretty much from the outset. Therefore I’m not about to pull up stumps just yet. I’ve come too far to do that now.

    Maybe  @Witches Hatwill allow me to PM you with what I know and if you can come up with the missing piece of the puzzle we can go halvsies on bragging rights. 🤭

    What do I have to do to get such largesse, from you and @Witches Hat?

    And you flatter me with your desire to best me. Recent performance warrants it not!

    WH gave out a clue, which by the lack of reaction, seems to have gone through to the keeper.

    In a bid to move this along a bit the selectors have swung the axe.

    IN: Harry Taylor, George Young, Jeff Berry and Leigh Matthews.

    OUT: Sam Taylor, Hayden Young, Jarrod Berry and Ben Matthews.

    That now gives the 22 footballers some common territory.

    Soz,Tim. But while your recent performance may be nothing to write home about, your performance overall is better than mine.

    WCW gave an extra clue in her last post

    This bites! These clues don’t help me at all since I already knew this part of the puzzle. So, now every man and his dog will be level-pegged with me.
     

    Please @Witches Hat, give another clue that doesn’t refer to this aspect of the answer.

    Those still playing the quiz are now all on the same page so I can reveal that all surnames have represented Victoria in cricket.

    The clues to this link were Tony Jewell as a relatively easy choice as coach (his son Nick played cricket for the Vics) and the selection changes which meant the 22 footballers all played for a Victorian team at some point in their careers.

    Still two other facts to link the names.

    It's coming down to the home stretch. Who will take it out??

    Still a few in contention. Perhaps this will help.

    The cricketer is Jonathon Moss, not Jeff Moss. Jeff Moss is over qualified.

    If I were as talented a wordsmith as @Demonstone I would have manufactured a clue along the lines of "a Rolling Stone gathers no Moss" but I'm not so I won't.

    Congratulations on what eventually proved to be quite an accessible quiz, WH! The '3 links' was an interesting twist.

    And congrats to all participants, whichever of Grade (me*), District (@Bombay Airconditioning), State (@WalkingCivilWar) or Test (your winners) level they reached.

    * I have taken some very minor comfort from having understood that 'relatively' was a clue of the effect you intended.

    Thanks to @Witches Hat for putting on the quiz. I was a BBB set shot run up away with my line of thinking until @WalkingCivilWar got me on track. We had a few theories but none were correct. @mo64you must really know your cricket to have answered correctly in 3 hours, we’ll played. @Timothy Reddan-A'BlewIf you’re looking at putting together a quiz can we do movies please, preferably action, maybe late 80’s and 90’s so I’m in with a chance🤣🤣. 
     

    cheers

    I am, BA! I like that thought, but I'll have to spring it on our little coterie unawares. Or devilishly disguise it, perhaps...mwah ha ha ha!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
