Lots of time to kill before we kill Geelong tomorrow night.  Fancy an EASY challenge?

Here's an  undemanding, uncomplicated and unexacting undertaking for you all.

Below is a team (in position) of current and recent MFC players.   It's a pretty strong side with plenty of marking power up forward, although the on-ball division could use an injection of class.

You know the drill:

*  What is the common factor that connects them all?

*  Answers in a PM only if you would, please.

===============================================================

 

B:       Trent Rivers     Chris Lamb     Jake Lever

H/B:   Daniel Ward     Sam Frost     Colin Garland

C:       Robert Flower     Tom Sparrow     Steven Stretch

H/F:   Kade Chandler     Warren Dean     Brad Miller

F:       Ben Beams     Brad Green     Martin Pike

    Congratulations @La Dee-vina Comedia!  You have indeed solved today's teaser and take home GOLD.

    I really thought that this one was at the easy end of the range and expected more answers by now.

    Clue you say?

    Today's teaser is not related to football or to any other sport for that matter.

    Second place has been claimed by a poster I'll call A. N. Onymous who shuns the limelight but still takes home the SILVER for correctly identifying the connection.

    Another new player in @demosaw has opened his account with the correct answer.

    All medals have been won, but I can award a participatory DENIM.

    A bit later than usual, but @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has predictably nutted out the answer.

    I'll leave the teaser up overnight for others to grapple with should they wish to do so.

    It would be in potential solvers' interests to look at the players' names closely.

    Thanks, Mr D. I'll look forward to the participatory POLYESTER in the mail.

    No more takers?  I'll give it another couple of hours before the big reveal.

    Don't do, don't describe, just be!

    Now, now, Mr D!

    Yes thrillseekers, all the players in my team share their surname with the name of something.

    In other words, all their surnames are also nouns.

    I've got another teaser ready to go but I'll give them a rest for now.

    Surnames are always nouns.

    You are correct in that surnames are proper* nouns but that doesn't apply to my team.  They all share a surname with an actual thing, an object in real life.

    *  Yours is probably improper.  :D

    Curiously, his is adjectival!

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
