I don't mind it myself but, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

The clue has met with instant success! Welcome to the podium @No.41 and well played.

Player's first names were abbreviated to an initial due to a pixel shortage at my end. It would be wise to include them in your deliberations. Those posters who have been asked to provide more information may find this hint most useful.

You bet he is. So hot, he's had a spicy snack food named after him.

Sorry @Cranky Franky! The player in question is Molloy the younger. Congratulations to @tilly18 who has unlocked the mystery to be first past the post.

G. Molloy!

No subterfuge here nor red herrings nor shenanigans nor skulduggery. It is indeed my last teaser. Brother, my cup is empty. Two posters are well on the way to the correct answer but need to provide more information. Don't try to overthink. It's pretty straightforward and (IMO) at the easy end of the scale. Back in an hour, thrillseekers. A nice walk beckons. (not a clue!)

If he's told us he's chosen GC, why would we have him train with us?

Sounds like you might have been having a 'mare.

Times are tough and things are grim. As the thread title suggests, I have run out of alliterative names for my brainteasers. Moreover, I have also run out of brainteasers and this shall be the last of them. Even more dire, I have almost run out of pixels and could only afford an initial rather than a first name for the players in today's team. You will see that they were all MFC listed at some point with some better known than others. Your challenge is to find the common link. As promised, this is without doubt one of my easiest puzzles. Answers in a PM only please. Blurting will cause hurting. ================================================================================ B: N. Jetta D. Louttit M. Collins H/B: J. McVee H. Petty G.

Give that man a cigar!

He's not always easy to spot on a crowded field.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I'm inclined to think the former.

Good to see Kalani White make the squad.

I once phoned up said spiritual leader of Tibet and he sent me a large goat with a long neck. Turns out I'd called "Dial-A-Llama" by mistake.

It may be nothing to worry about. Neither player were "meant" to be there as today was for years 1 - 4 players. Some, but certainly not all, of the more senior players also turned up for a run.

There's a write-up in 'The Age' online. Key points include: - The training camp will be held at Bright in two weeks time - Clarrie absent from training and dealing with a "family issue" - Tracc absent from training but expected to be at the training camp - Tom Campbell did running drills https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/petracca-ready-for-demons-camp-as-forgotten-magpie-impresses-20241111-p5kpi8.html

Neale Daniher has been awarded the honour of being Victoria's nomination for Australian Of The Year. MND has an average time frame of 27 months, but here's Neale still fighting eleven years after his diagnosis. Onya Danners. I reckon all Melbourne fans and the greater footballing community supports your work and is proud of you. Neale Daniher named Victoria’s Australian of the Year

If a player doesn't have enough of the required 'needs' they should instead take up a track and field sport. Discus?

I just learned about recency bias and it's my favourite thing ever.

It was also our first look at new recruit Travis Johnstone, who was taken at pick one in the 1997 draft. I remember watching in awe as he effortlessly hoovered up loose ground balls before pinpointing teammates with perfectly weighted, accurate disposals.

I will unfortunately never be able to forget this game, but I have no memory at all of Mark Stevens. An Adelaide player named Goodwin had 25 disposals with two goals. I wonder whatever became of him.

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned that Jennings' first name is actually Craig.

Apropos of nothing at all, I once saw a short film called 'Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe'. It was at the old Valhalla Cinema in Victoria Street, Richmond in the early 80s.
