I've never been to a funeral where people clap, politely or otherwise. I did attend the funeral of a well-known golfer and, as they were lowering the coffin into the ground, had to resist the temptation to yell out "Get in the hole!".

Thanks EO, that's a really good write-up. I can't recall Oliver getting much press at all previously. It makes it sound like Clarry is from Echuca, but I thought he hailed from Mooroopna (Shepparton).

Hard to believe that people still think that positions in the named team mean anything.

Coach: "I want guts today, boys. Show me what you've got in yas!"

I've worked it out, but modesty prevents me from posting the solution. (PM sent) Nice work Froggy!

I was most surprised to be diagnosed with colour-blindness just recently. The news came right out of the purple.

You'd think that the Bulldogs would be very happy with their gift of Adam Treloar.

I knew Goody shouldn't have had that snag in bread.

I agree, dazzler. Ham is struggling to get a game with Essendon. I don't see how he'd be of any help to us.

Does anybody have a TDK tape?

Is that your three word analysis, joeboy?

Somebody posted that Cooper Schwarz is following the basketball pathway.

You'll find it a piece of cake, Luci (the teaser that is, not your dinner). OP updated to make the solution obvious.

Sounds like you have indeed worked it out, Captain Jack. I imagine you're 100% correct to the letter, in fact.

Ah yes, that would explain it. I delete old conversations as a matter of course.

That's odd. Didn't get your PM, old son. No reason for it not to come through, either. I've no doubt you worked it out, as have mo64 and Neil Crompton. I'll let the teaser run until 8pm and reveal the obvious answer at that point. For those still pondering, two clues have already been provided. Here's a third - the players have nothing in common apart from playing for the greatest team in the world.

I can walk to my local pub in about ten minutes, but coming home it can take up to half an hour. The difference is staggering.

Hmmm, still just the two correct responses. When I devised this simple teaser, I initially thought that many posters would get it straight away. Who else can capitalise on my much easier than usual poser?

Just as I suspected, that didn't take long at all. Poita and Mazer Rackham have already worked it out. Why haven't YOU?

We're all excited about another impending finals series, so I've quickly knocked up this little brainteaser (with a difference to my usual theme) to fill in some time before Friday's triumph over the Swans. It's a team consisting solely of Melbourne players, but only one is currently playing. You may also notice that some of them are named in other than their usual positions on the ground. Why is that, I wonder? This is rather easy, so much so that no prizes could possibly be awarded. Answers in a PM only thanks, if you reckon you know what I've done here. B: Frank Davis Roger Ellingworth* Steven May H/B: Graham Osborne David Neitz Marcus Seecamp C: Robert Flower Andrew Obst Guy Rigoni H/F: Greg Parke Russell Robertson Tony Elshaug F: 'Hassa' Mann Dean Irving Simon Eishold R: Peter Rohde David Schwarz Stan Alves I/C: Peter Giles Frank 'Bluey' Adams Steven Icke Stephen Newport * I originally had Gerard Healy at full-back but, when I ran the team past Ron Barassi, he scowled and yelled "Healy off, Ellingworth on!". The swear filter prevents me from posting what he said after that.

So is Salem available or still a week away? The above two lists have conflicting info.

Paxy's partner is a ruckman? 😲

Keith will never die! Every time somebody smokes a cigarette, God takes a minute off that person's life and gives it to Keith.

Your terrible, Mazer.
