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

    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!

    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!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
