I would assume you would nominate a best 22 for each club then count up how many games those 22 have missed during the year through injury/suspension. It confirms that we've had a charmed run in that regard.

Saving that for the draft, are we?

It was announced yesterday - Hunt out (injured) and Hibberd in. Injury sub to be announced prior to the game tomorrow and will be one of the four emergencies, so either VDB, Joel Smith, Weideman or Bedford.

Sorry mate, that's an opinion, not a fact.

He had no pier.

What a shame such a worthy thread has ended up this way.

Nice to see that the work experience kid is still at AFL House despite lockdown. Tigers - yellow and black. Umpires - yellow and black. It just beggars belief when they could have gone with fluoro green, light blue or even white for the umps.

And .... we have a winner! All players have the distinction of playing the most number of games for Melbourne wearing that particular jumper number. Congratulations Fanatique Demon. Tres bon! Garlett may have misled a few but he is the only Melbourne player to ever wear number 67 in a game. More quizzes will be forthcoming, but only after a suitable interval. Thanks for all the interest.

Some Geelong fans on footy sites are claiming that he won't play again this year. If this is the case, that's a huge blow for them.

Not the answer I was after, dc.

It would involve a slip.

Incorrect, Redleg. Some have more than one.

All my own work, WCW. I had to think fast in order to mount a defence against my cold-blooded murdering of the English language.

OK, today's second and purportedly harder quiz concerns Melbourne players only. It's a fine team as you can plainly see! What do these players have in common? B: Matthew Whelan Peter Rohde Brett Lovett H/B: Cameron Bruce John Howat Neville Jetta C: Stephen Tingay Brian Wilson Travis Johnstone H/F: Russell Robertson David Schwarz Aaron Davey F: Brad Green Tom McDonald Jeff Garlett R: Jeff White Todd Viney James McDonald I/C: Adem Yze Matthew Febey Stephen Febey Mark Jamar

Bingo! The surnames of all the players are Victorian country towns or localities. The red "clue" was indeed a red herring. Sorry Hardtack! The virtual prize is therefore shared between Cyclops and Mazer Rackham, who PMed me earlier but declined the temptation of hogging all the glory. Ready for another one?

Flabbergastation (flabber + gas station) is a word usually only heard in the USA and it refers to the sensation of scratching your head and thinking "WTF?" when you see something like this.

No, just a response to dc's comment.

Fetlock?

Sunday Too Far Away.

Crikey faulty, you get so triggered by any mention of Trump. I assume you've read his new book?

You're all just being silly now.

The club obviously sees something in him. I'm happy to trust their judgement.

Sorry hardtack, you still wouldn't have enough letters for that railway station!

Incorrect I'm afraid, dc.
