For the first time ever I've gone 'oh, I know it!' within a couple of seconds of looking.

Almost certainly wrong but I'm just going to savour the moment before I send the PM.

Ahh, now we know why @Demonstone gave up authorship of quizzes - he wants to claim the Gold Medal every time ... 😉

Maybe give him a quota of Gold Medals then no longer eligible ... 😁

Thanks for compiling the quiz, Roger M.

I'm proud to say that I've won every single quiz this year.

Time for a reveal, Rog.

And how was @Little Goffy's confidence misplaced?

Just like that fleeting moment in time when we were AFL, AFLW and VFL premiers. Emphasis - sadly - on fleeting...

Do you remember that time a $400m joint NASA-ESA mission was destroyed on landing because just one engineer in one sector had forgotten to convert inches to centimetres?

Misplaced by about that much.

😆

...I think.

Now; the reveal?

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,820]

This is driving me mad!

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,820]

????something to do with where they were recruited from?????
Unlikely , with Cameron , Ashcroft and ANB , for example being from different states.

Perhaps they’ve all never been suspended.

I give up.

I was going to go with it being Grand Final related, then noticed a Carlton player was named. What’s the answer? 

[Roger Mellie 4,157]

You want me to spell it out for you?

Ah!

I was looking for that! (thatty?)

I see why you can't spell it out!

Well played - Silver medal for you 🥈

The old FILO approach (first in, laughed out)

Well done that’s impressive - I looked at it for a few seconds and thought I’d better get back to mowing the lawn 😂

A niggling 'So what', eh, Roger?

(Don't hate me, Franky 🫤)

[Axis of Bob 11,879]

A good point well made, RM. 😁

[Roger Mellie 4,157]

Bronze medal for Axis of Bob 🥉

Good show!

The answer, Cranky, is to take the first letter of each player's surname and you will find it spells something deep and meaningful.

Thanks to all!

Hey, nothing against AoB, but I thought my comment above was good enough to get the Bronze (based on the fact that Tim’s Silver resulted from a comment) 🤣

I suspected same.

Let the annals* of Demonland Quizzery show a 3-way tie for silver to @hardtack, @Axis of Bob and yours truly!
