Another day n more o' them insects...

No longer "@picket fence"; Surely, now, "Epicket fence"!

@red and blue forever, here you go... [email protected]

Yeah, I checked him, too, ET. I agree. Different cartoon style, too.

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.

...and Hope?

...and The Lady Gawnevere?

Let me get that table going round: Sir Harvey Langcelot.

MFCSS nerves when 'break' and 'out' are mentioned...

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?)

You're thinking big, GD, but you've got to think waaaaaay bigger.

My opinion of you has gone up yet another notch, LG 👏 Not, of course, correct, however. If they were head-scratchers, rather than face-palmers, Go Ds, how about this?... ''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!

24 hours of 🦗 🦗 🦗 so let's see if this prompts any brainstorms: Why might the squad be mixed? The re-ordered squad: apart from alphabetical, what other bases for ordering are there?

A curious comment, PK? Tell us more?

He just needs to wait, Rod...

So that's what was missing! Here we go, then, 'nicely' removed from 'nauseatingly nice'.

Could you post the photo, please, @red and blue forever? Cropped screenshot uses least bytes.

Here you go, then: Daisy Pearce Ted Cordner Alby Rodda Simon Eishold Jason Norrish Ivor Warne-Smith Mark Jackson Ian Ridley Warren Dean Frank Adams Barry Bourke Olivia Purcell Coach: John Northey Chris Connolly Graham Osborne Harvey Langford George Moodie Jasmine Grierson Marcus Seecamp Trevor Johnson Damien Gaspar Harold Ball Gabrielle Colvin Megan Fitzsimon

@Harvey Wallbanger hasn't gone the whole nine yards but his effort does warrant a star: ⭐ And I'd say you've earnt an effort star, too, @Little Goffy. Here 'tis ⭐ Meanwhile, the actual answers are still blowing around. Hump day has just humped, so I think I'll try to help you all (ha!?) by listing the squad in a relevant order, instead of the original arbitrary alphabetical one. Give me a moment...

@Harvey Wallbanger has come up with a possible answer well wide of my mark, and I'm awaiting his proof it can be applied to all 24 members of this group. If it's proved, he gets a gold star sticker (how fondly I remember these from my primary school days). Same will go to anyone who proves a clever complete connection that's not my intended one (@Little Goffy, you seem destined?) Tomorrow is hump day. Some clues await to help you over. Maybe.

'Tis in season, this off-season. Hold on to your hats!

...and we all need to be supportive of this thread. Thank you for rising to the occasion, DF - 71 days without any activity was bordering on terminal 😵

@hardtack has joined the fray with a sadly incorrect punt. However, it does prompt another 'clarification' (gosh I'm being generous-slash-annoying): it's nothing about the players themselves.

To what extent, and by when, can a LTI player be replaced during a missed season? As to these media pass marks, they are external views (as are ours) of what we ought to achieve. They aren't internal views of what we want to achieve. I can't imagine the latter is less than, or even the same as, the former, for coach and players.

Thanks for joining, @Ghostwriter, @Little Goffy, @Harvey Wallbanger, @Go Ds, and (I think?) @Tolstoys Nudge! I continue to worry this has been done, perhaps early-ish in @Demonstone's career? Anyways; I find it hard to assess whether clues are 'You call that a clue?!', 'Yeah, I can work with that', or 'C'mon, you're giving it away'. Headline, though: this puzzle is not football related. I guess that's a clarifier, not a clue. So, how's this work for you: Consider the title...
