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 Iโ€™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, youโ€™re as far from the answer as you could possibly be. And then even a little bit further. ๐Ÿ˜‚

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

Maybe ย @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. ๐Ÿคญ

What do I have to do to get such largesse, from youย andย @Witches Hat?

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

ย 

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.ย

WCW gave an extra clue in her last post

This bites! These clues donโ€™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.
ย 

Please @Witches Hat, give another clue that doesnโ€™t refer to this aspect of the answer.ย

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 @Demonstoneย 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 toย allย participants, whichever of Grade (me*), District (@Bombay Airconditioning), State (@WalkingCivilWar) or Test (your winners) level they reached.

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

ย 

Thanks to @Witches Hatย for putting on the quiz. I was a BBB set shot run up away with my line of thinking until @WalkingCivilWarย 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, weโ€™ll played. @Timothy Reddan-A'BlewIf youโ€™re looking at putting together a quiz can we do movies please, preferably action, maybe late 80โ€™s and 90โ€™s so Iโ€™m in with a chance๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.ย

Iย am,ย 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: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayโ€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andย  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
