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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
