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.

    I think I’ve cracked it! Please check your PMs posthaste, WH. I wanna beat Tim, Demonstone and Bombay Aircon!

    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!

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
