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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th December 2024

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
