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!

    • 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.
