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

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.

H/F:    I. Weetra     R. Dillon     B. Vagg

    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!

    Matthew Jefferson would qualify for this team, but Jacob van Rooyen would not.

    So would B Lovett but not T Ormond-Allen.

    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.

    Yeah, I got it, but now I'm too busy slapping my forehead to send a message.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
