POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
I'd be tempted to go with tun as winning the flag has led to a lot of alcohol being consumed.

Revised head high contact rule
Yes, the MRP saw it.

QUIZ - Round 23 Last Two Minutes. Test your memory!
I just had a go and got every question correct in under 90 seconds. Alas, my first three attempts were not as successful.

2022 Player Numbers
Slightly off topic, but is there a better player number in world sport than Root 66?

MFC - Timepiece
I thought it was something a mohel might use, but that's no skin off my nose.

Should help us Conca the challenge of back-to-back flags. (sorry)

They're clearly suffering from the Moronavirus.

TRAINING: Monday 6th December 2021
Following COVID lockdowns, I was keen to do something about my fitness so started running 5km every day. After two weeks of this, I arrived in Geelong.

The Grand Final Rematch
Wednesday night is traditionally known as "Hump Night", so we'll just have to do that to the Doggies. Again.

Grand Final Celebration at the G
Back in the 70s, I went to a wife-swapping party and it was excellent. I swapped mine for a brand new lawnmower.

Best Player to wear #20 since 1964.
I'm with Fork 'em on this one as I was also at Princes Park that day standing at the Lygon Street end and clearly saw Matthews punch Smith in the head. The incident at the MCG could have been the day he did a similar dirty act on Peter Giles.

Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
Crikey! I go away for an hour and the correct answers have flooded in. The common factor with these players is that their surnames are also the names of Federal Electorates. (Sorry, WCW, you were in the right area but I didn't want to give the game away by revealing that!). First across the line was Tim, who is hereby appointed Prime Minister. Congratulations, sir. A short half-head behind in second spot was Satan, who has earned the title of State Premier. Kudos. In third place was mo64 who has been elected Mayor of his Municipality. Well done. Honourable mentions also to Councillors La Dee-vina Comedia and #11-TonyAnderson. You can now see why I couldn't reveal the prizes. And, in case what you were wondering what the cryptic pictorial clue was going to be, here it is anyway (a reference to Morrison). I did consider boy band Hanson and Robert Palmer as well, which I am sure would have misled people into believing that the answer was music related. Thanks to all who played or gave up in frustration. I hope you all had some fun.

Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
I'll be away from the computer until about 9.30pm and, if the teaser is still unsolved at that stage, another clue (this time in pictorial form) shall be forthcoming.

Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
Well, seeing as you said "please" ... People by now seem to have realised that the link pertains to the players' surnames. Further, the answer is not football related in any way.
-
Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
I can also confirm that they are not names of politicians.
-
Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
Another suggestion that they share names with rivers is not correct, I'm afraid.
-
Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
A couple more incorrect replies have been received. These players don't share a surname with musicians, nor are they varieties of animal (after all, that would be an all-Collingwood team).

Alas for the poster who made the suggestion, they are not all scientists either.

Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
We both know that's wrong, Mr. Beeblebrox.
-
Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
Our first incorrect answer is in, and I can confirm that they are not all the surnames of models (!).

Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator
I had Josh Kennedy from Sydney Swans in mind, but it makes no difference.
