If you're going to pull people up on points of grammar, it's probably advisable not to use such non-words as "soz", "imma" and "anyways" in your own posts.

Does that mean we can longer yell out "Ball!!!"?

This thread bears no resemblance to what I thought the title was referring to. As you were.

Not if you mute the sound and use your eyes and brain to work out what's going on.

I wonder how serious Mitch Brown's injury from last week is.

Those 1000 will have to sing "They Will Never Tear Up The Tarps".

Is that a euphemism?

That could turn out to be an absolute disaster. Oh wait, that was the Hindenburg. Carry on.

Whenever I hear the GWS song, I can't help but think of this bloke dancing.

I'm surprised that GWS have dropped their uber-tagger De Boer for this game.

You can guarantee that if it had been one of our players who was awarded a goal like that, Essendon fans would still be whinging long and hard about it.

Anybody know why he's called "Dogga"?

Oh dear, looks like the panic buying is happening again.

Was he making clothes for Jay Jays?

2021 is the Year of The Ox!! What further proof would anybody need?

There are other compelling reasons in play as well. 1. The last time we won the flag, the Olympic Games were held in Tokyo. 2. We won our last flag in 1964, which is 57 years ago. I was born in 1957 which is 64 years ago. Make of that what you will, numerologists!

We have a winner! Well played JJC. When I said that Engorged Onion was closest to the pin, he did say he was stumped. Sorry to tease you like that EO; you were probably wondering how or why you were close. Stay tuned for the next in this series of timewasters next Wednesday.

Engorged Onion is closest to the pin so far.

Nothing to do with footy, PD.

Nobody has come remotely close at this point. Clue #2: There is no football connection whatsoever. I'll leave this open overnight and provide a further clue in the morning if it's still unsolved. Please be warned that I have a another seven (7!!) of these brainteasers ready to trot out so that I may torment you each Wednesday right up to finals time, assuming I don't receive a Court injunction in the interim.

They may well have all visited Surfers Paradise at some point, but no surfing connection that I'm aware of.

Sadly, that goes without saying but it's not the answer I'm looking for. Clue #1: In a twist that nobody saw coming (and apologies for my red herring reply to daisycutter's answer, but you should never assume anything), you will be delighted or horrified (delete inapplicable response) to learn that this week's quiz has absolutely nothing at all to do with music or bands. Don't want to get too predictable!

First clue at 7pm if nobody has cracked it by then.

So I guess it's Happy New Year's Eve for all the accountants out there.
