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

R:       Stefan Martin     Daniel Cross     Rohan Bail

I/C:    Jake Spencer     Daniel Bell     Jayden Hunt     Oskar Baker

SUB:   Tom Couch

 

Easy.   They are all male.

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!

 

Homophonically...

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: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
