I believe there's another potential member of this group on our list, but he's yet to play a game for Melbourne.

One of them would be Bob Dylan.

I'd even take a repeat of that year's subsequent Grand Final loss to Footscray if it meant that we would again win five of the next six flags.

Two out of three ain't bad. Just ask Meatloaf!

After each of the next two games ...

Here are some suggestions. Photographic proof will be required, WCW.

If you give a Collingwood fan a book as a gift, make sure you include some crayons so that they may colour it in.

Bring it on!

Just the glory, FM!

The puzzles come to me while I'm asleep!

Irony or mere coincidence? WWAS (What would Alanis say)?

I'm pleased to announce that the winner this week is Timothy Redden-A'Blew who was first in. Timothy wins the Zookeeper Award for his efforts and takes home a team of ANIMALS!!

I'm afraid you've spoiled it by answering correctly on this thread. Luci. They are indeed all authors, as listed below: B: Jeffrey Archer Lewis Carroll F.

Was that a PM?

Of course. I can reveal that they are not female singers.

Feeling anxious about this week's Prelim Final? Looking for something to take your mind off the game? Have time on your hands and are willing to waste some of it? You've come to the right place! As usual, you need to tell me what connects the players in this team. Unusually, there is a prize this week, to be revealed at the completion of the quiz. Responses to me in a PM please so it has a chance of lasting longer than a couple of minutes. B: Glenn Archer Nathan Carroll* Ryan Fitzgerald H/B: Heath Shaw Brian Lake Matthew Collins* C: Taylor Adams Terry Wallace Scott Thompson* H/F: Brad Miller* Wayne Carey Jarryd Blair F: Toby Greene Max King Lance Franklin R: Mark Lee Bryce Gibbs Ken Sheldon I/C: Greg Doyle* Kieran Harper Haydn Robbins* Taylor Garner * denotes that they played for Melbourne.

You mean Warne Sh!te, like we can expect to hear on The Ashes telecast this summer.

(Not) sorry to be a pedant but, if we win the next two games, this week will be the penultimate and the Grand Final would then be the ultimate.

I'm not.

Stand by for a message from Mr. E. McGuire of Toorak, who is seeking three tickets.

We already have the cake and I believe we have the icing as well. Adam could be the Cerra on top.

Cheers WCW. I saw that earlier and it's a sensational effort and one to make any Dad feel proud. I'm less proud of all the Fathers' Day cards I've received addressed to "To Whom It May Concern".

Why do you love the Cats so much?

Plenty on here seem to think so. Some even convince themselves that the AFL tells them which team to favour.
