Demonstone's ROOMBA (Run Out Of More Brilliant Appellations)



Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Times are tough and things are grim. 

As the thread title suggests, I have run out of alliterative names for my brainteasers.

Moreover, I have also run out of brainteasers and this shall be the last of them.

Even more dire, I have almost run out of pixels and could only afford an initial rather than a first name for the players in today's team. 

You will see that they were all MFC listed at some point with some better known than others.

Your challenge is to find the common link.  As promised, this is without doubt one of my easiest puzzles.

Answers in a PM only please.  Blurting will cause hurting.

No subterfuge here nor red herrings nor shenanigans nor skulduggery.

It is indeed my last teaser.  Brother, my cup is empty.

Two posters are well on the way to the correct answer but need to provide more information.

Don't try to overthink.  It's pretty straightforward and (IMO) at the easy end of the scale.

Back in an hour, thrillseekers.  A nice walk beckons.  (not a clue!)

Player's first names were abbreviated to an initial due to a pixel shortage at my end.

It would be wise to include them in your deliberations.

Those posters who have been asked to provide more information may find this hint most useful.

No. It's not.

Until it is.

Hope you're not wearing your winklepickers @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew because you'll kick yourself when the solution becomes apparent.

That's all from me for tonight.  There will probably be another clue tomorrow morning. 

No winklepickers, but what I'm lacking in penetration, I'm making up for in repetitions. 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾

A colleague of my wife was clearing out old stuff and we picked up a Roomba-like device. Generic robot vacuum creature.

Unfortunately it seems quite intimidated by the world. It comes off its little starting block, wiggles a bit, has a quick look around the immediate area, and then decisively 'nopes' the whole scene and goes back to its starting deck.

Poor thing. Does anybody know a good AI psychologist? Not Dr Sbaitso, something more Gen-Z A.I.

A couple of responses have been received and both are close to the answer.

How about a bit of thinking music?  I've always loved reggae ever since I first heard  Dave and Ansel Collins.

Hmmm.  I thought that last clue may have opened the floodgates.

Perhaps I should have included this clip of my favourite song of theirs.  Have a listen, music lovers!

B. Lovett not only qualifies for the team, he's in it.

I suspect that @Cranky Franky has worked out that all the players in my team have double letters in both their first name and their surname.

To avoid making it too obvious, I went with just the first initial in naming the side.

With names in full, the team reads as follows:

B:       Neville Jetta     Darren Louttit     Matthew Collins

H/B:   Judd McVee     Harrison Petty      Glenn Molloy

C:       Glenn Lovett     Glenn Elliott     Kelly O'Donnell

H/F:    Isaac Weetra     Ross Dillon     Barrie Vagg

F:       Jeff Garlett     Darren Bennett     Terry Gleeson

R:       Darren Jolly     Brett Lovett     Hassa Mann

I/C:    Will Verrall     Barry Denny     Lloyd Burgmann     Russell Colcott

 

Elliott, O'Donnell, Bennett, Verrall and Colcott boast three sets of double letters.  That's just showing off.

Thanks to all who had a go or at least took an interest.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
