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: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
