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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
