''Tis in season': what season would that be now in Australia's part of the world?

C'mon, I'm practically giving it to you all!

I see the clues and check in with my brain but all I hear is crickets.

    Well, new day, new clue.

    It looks like only @Little Goffy and @Go Ds remain tuned in (*) so they're in the front-running to get medals, which are repurposed Emergency Services medals.

    (* Why is that? I'm feeling a bit miffed: where are you all that @Demonstone, and even you 'EasyGoffy' 😉, manage to keep on the hook? Perhaps actual football is getting in the way, now, particularly for track watchers like @Ghostwriter and @Harvey Wallbanger? Dare I say it's putting the wind up me?)

    And coming up the outside, from nowhere, is @tilly18, to take State Emergency Services Gold medal for being first to identify the 'general' commonality. The Fire Service's Silver medal and Ambulance Service's Bronze medal remain to be awarded, as do still three Furious framings for the 'specific' commonality.

    Coincidentally, I had Tilbrook in my original squad, but he had to give way to Northey so it could have a coach.

    I confess I am completely beaten.

    Just for you, then (not evident that anyone else is eavesdropping 😄), a recap:

    • ''Tis in season' and 'timely' - the answer, that is (and still very much so according to the news)

    • The season is in Australia's part of the world

    • 'Mess' - a lot - and 'Furious', and 'Hold on to your hats!'

    • We're talking waaaaay bigger than watermelons

    • Not football-related and it's nothing about the players themselves

    • The list was re-ordered, from alphabetical to... What other common ordering bases are there? Well, there's numerical? Or there's...?

    • The squad is mixed - boys and girls

    • When I had to bring in Northey, I had to drop Tilbrook

    • The medals on offer are Emergency Services medals

    • I wondered if the wind was being put up me.

    I will get more blatant as necessary!

    How can I resist an appeal like that?!

    The general connection is their first names are all Australian-region cyclone names.

    The specific connection is that these names for cyclones have all been 'retired' due to the high human and/or economic impact of the cyclones so named.

    Credit where it is due, that is a pretty cool theme.

    Debit where it is due, I never, ever, would have got that!

    And I've considered Batman villian names.

    I hope I didn't sound ungrateful. This is a free website and it's kind of nice to have these quizzes over summer time as a diversion. I'm sure people put a fair bit of work into these - compiling them. So thank you. If I hated them so much I wouldn't even click on them.

    The sad emoji was about Tracy, GD, not a reflection on your response. Subsequent feedback much appreciated.

    And insularity? Me, too! Preparing the quiz widened my horizons!

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
