A second clue: The common factor is not related to any profession, so you can rule out musicians, comedians, actors etc.

For the record, Good Sir, I've only just seen this thread. I'm sure I would have got it. Yeah, right.

But a posthum(our)ous point of order: the common factor is so related, if one applies the 'etc' to sweep up any marginals to the 3 arts preceding.

Yours in petulance,

Tim (but not Andrew*)

*See what I did there?

    The only one, you think? That was the one that foxed me, but there were also a couple I didn't even know!

    I rationalised my way into my petulance by thinking of them as professionals, celebrities in their time, and titular subjects in our time (or mine, anyway...) for both actors and musicians.

    Keep 'em coming GS. I mourned your retirement.

    Well done! Though admittedly though I surprise most with the breadth of my musical knowledge I absolutely have never heard of the Thompson duo. And on that even though I'll leave the musicals to my mother I know it's RoDgers and Hammerstein. Hell, even the Rodgers of Rodgers and Hart 😁 valued his D. I hope I haven't rained on your parade, Ms Streisand. I enjoyed this thread.

    BTW it would've been so cool if Geelong's Kane had been Tenille rather than Tenace. 😂

    I'm not sure whether you mean that, Ethan, but, in your case, think Highman?...

    LOL not sure who I’d choose—probably Bontempelli, Jesse Hogan, or Zac Butters.

    Third prize has been claimed by the consistent @tilly18 who, for his efforts, get to pick any former MFC star to return in their peak form.

    Just pipped at the post was @Ghostwriter , who also deserves a prize and will pick any former MFC player currently at another club to come home.

    I read my prize incorrectly sorry Stone.

    With the current options up forward I would choose Garry Lyon to have the most impact.

    I didn't choose Robert Flower because that would suggest I didn't give my decision due consideration.

    Looks like Demonstone definitely has a taste for history and the esoteric. Who would have thought George Burns and Gracie Allen would have been named dropped on Demonland.

    I reckon David Schwarz in his pomp (ie pre-knees)would be my choice.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
