You know the drill. If someone gets this quicker than the time it took me to put together, I just might lie about it.

Funnily enough, these players have something in common. My apologies if this (theme) has been done before!

PM the answers (this means you Lampers). The prizes are phenomenal.............. and fictitious!

On ya bike and bring on season 2023:

Mitch Hahn     Stef Martin     Jay Lockhart

Chris Scott     Henry Playfair   Ted Richards

Adrian Battiston.   Jacob van Rooyan    Ed Lower

Tyson Stengle    Tim Membrey   Jayden Hunt

Aaron Naughton.   Brendon Favola    Billy Brownless

R: Michael Gardiner   Cam Pedersen   Cam O'Shea

!/C Callam Sinclair   Liam Jurrah   Jarrod Berry   Kayne Pettifer

 

PS - There's no clue in any of the above, hence the name 'clueless quiz'

    Welcome to the Setters Club, Roger!

    Though I'm wary of a double bluff in your 'no clue' spiel...

    Thanks TRAB! I'm honoured to be part of the club, but there are definitely no single or double-bluffing clues. I can even confess, the bench is nothing more than a typo - should be I/C not !/C.

    Go Dees

    A clue, perhaps?

    Still puzzling. However, in the process, this has taken me to a pleasant half hour of the Walpiri Wizard's highlights 😊

    I'm thinking it's something 'straightforward' given Roger's concern that it might have been done before?

    Not all previous quizzes have been straightforward though. Anyways, I think I might have it. Just gotta make sure before I PM Roger. The podium beckons!

    WCW, there was, in fact, a tiny clue there, but it was so small, I hadn't noticed.

    Good luck and it's not boxers or anything to do with music.

    Silver and bronze still up for grabs!

    Tim has kindly pointed out a clue in the first post 😬

    Further clue:

    Sub: Jason Johannisen

    Time for a big clue or the big reveal, @Roger Mellie?

    Thanks for keeping these alive, Mr Stone 🙂. I'm tempted to clue, but @Roger Mellie should have first (and last?) go at that, I think...

    Knock yourself out Blew. I'm bushwalking in WA and have intermittent internet access. Initially, I was going to drop a few more clues but I think the footy got in the way. Gosh dern it - there's another clue! TRAB will take it from here with thanks.

    Alrighty then.

    Sam Gravenall coached Essendon for only 12 games in 2022. Albeit from a small sample size, Sam's win/loss record is behind only Craig McCrae's, Chris Scott's and John Longmire's, of the current crop of coaches. But it is another, unique, aspect he brings that qualifies him to front @Roger Mellie's team.

    He made a comeback 100 years after his first coaching stint?

    Oopsies!

    (Though might Bombers fans be looking over their shoulders for a similar 'Second Coming' in 2115?👼...)

    My first reaction to this, layzie, was, 'Funny you should say seconds!'

    Meanwhile, though, let the world know your quizophilic persistence has just paid off in that other still-live conundrum 👏

    But a bit more 'clueing':

    Four ' @Roger Mellie ' emergencies were named at this club's selection table on the Thursday night: Jason Johannisen, Jeremy Howe, Jarrod Molloy and Kyle Cheney. As noted, Johannisen became the medi-sub.

    In this expanded squad, Roger's selection of Jayden Hunt becomes unique.

    And in another way, I've just noticed, Roger's selection of Ed Lower is unique.

    What Layzie said. It's the inclusion of JVR that throws me.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
