Wow. That's very skinny for a bloke that tall.

To be fair, Morabito was an outstanding junior who was an Under 18 All Australian and W.A.'s MVP in their championship-winning side. Alas for he and Freo, he suffered a series of terrible injuries including three knee reconstructions. Fyfe was taken at pick twenty, after ten of the existing 16 teams chose others before him. We had four of those picks (Gawn was pick 34). Tish happens.

Sounds very, very frightening.

If we draft him, can we put him in the #47 jumper and have it presented by James Strauss?

Is that you, Allan McAllister? “As long as they conduct themselves like white people, well, off the field, everyone will admire and respect … As long as they conduct themselves like human beings, they will be all right. That’s the key.”

You're making them too easy, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew . I'll stay out of this one to give others a chance.

Not at all related to the quiz and definitely not a clue, but the avatar of @710 Asbury St has reminded me of this.

Old Mate has already been delisted at Tigerland. There is a compelling case for Richmond to snaffle the Duff.

How far up, the Duff?

Jamie Duursma played for Melbourne. His brother Dean, father of the current crop, only appeared at Under 19 and Reserves level.

It takes four hours to sweep out all the misery, despair and broken dreams and get rid of the stench of gambling addiction.

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

Would you believe that was a typo and I meant to say Roy Rogers and Trigger?

Bonnie & Clyde?

Time to tell all, then. Each player in this team shares a surname with a member of a well-known duo, as highlighted below: Gilbert & Sullivan, Pete Cook & Dudley Moore, Lennon & McCartney, Jagger & Richards, Ike & Tina Turner, Rogers & Hammerstein, Sherlock Holmes & Watson, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, (Alias or Alas) Smith & Jones, Richard & Linda Thompson, Abbott & Costello, Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow, Hall & Oates, George Burns & Gracie Allen, Jack & Meg White, Mitchell & Webb, Fry & Laurie and Ronnie Barker & Ronnie Corbett (The Two Ronnies). All the clues should now make sense. French & Saunders, Scully & Mulder, Hamish Blake & Andy Lee, Hale & Pace (BIG clue there!) and Batman & Robin. Thanks for playing.

Agreed. It would be far less daunting than this Spector.

No, because they are under contract and the trade period is finished.

I'll wrap this up soonish, but I'm wondering why the prizewinners haven't nominated the players they are entitled to choose. @710 Asbury St ? @tilly18 ? @Ghostwriter ? As a final clue (or another layer of frustration), Batman would qualify for this team but neither Superman nor Spiderman would be eligible.

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.

Good morning to all the frustrated posters out there who will be miffed to know that another genius has found the answer. Congratulations to @710 Asbury St who has snagged second prize and with it the chance to recruit any player from any club to join MFC. Choose wisely! The teaser remains open with the revealing reveal to be revealed long after reveille but not by Bruce Reville. Wot? Oh, at a later stage.

One more player I probably should mention before logging off for the night. Former Kangaroo and Hawk big man David Hale almost made the team, but in the end he was just a little off the pace.

A pair of ruckmen from the 70s/80s era in Rod Blake and Mark Lee would both be eligible for this team.

This looks likely.

I wondered if anybody might be tricked by the spectrum of colours in the team list. That in fact was a rainbow herring, which is a cross between a rainbow trout and a red herring and nothing more than a naughty misdirection. Any further suggestions (serious or not) in a PM please!
