Counting Down the Hours, Clueless Quiz - Roger's first and last!


Roger Mellie

Recommended Posts

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!

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...

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?👼...)

Every time I come back to this I give up within 2.5 seconds. 

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
