Krasnadamskis! The perfect number of syllables for fans to yell out, a la "Jesaulenko, you beauty!" -
"Hey, we all make mistakes" as the Dalek said, climbing off the dustbin.

You have now! Maybe that's the whole idea.
It wouldn't come as a huge surprise if she is omitted from the team this week.
(This article is sourced from 'The Shovel', so there is no doubt as to its integrity.) AFL Introduces New ‘Masked Singer Round’ Saying it was always looking for ways to ‘bring fans closer to the game’, the AFL has confirmed a new ‘Masked Singer Round’ to take place in an added extra week between the Preliminary Finals and Grand Final. CEO Andrew Dillon said the move was developed after months of careful listening to fans who begged the AFL to ‘focus on the fundamentals’. “People have told us they want consistency in umpiring, stable rules, and less Americanisation. So naturally, we’ve introduced a round where your team’s full forward might be dressed as a rabbit singing Ariana Grande” He admitted the AFL had not removed the unpopular ‘stand’ rule. “But you could be seeing Jordan De Goey singing Taylor Swift while dressed as a purple spider, so I think that’s a very good outcome for the fans and the game”. Under the exciting new format, players will not reveal their identities until they kick a goal or are concussed and have to leave the field. Umpires will need to identify each player before awarding a free kick. If they get it wrong, the player will be awarded a 62.5 metre penalty. The game will be played between the 11th and 3rd ranked teams after round 19. The AFL has assured supporters this is not a gimmick and is merely the first step in a broader strategy to modernise the product’s entertainment fundamentals through its identity pathway arc.
Speaking of bras, there's a new one on the market called 'The Sheepdog'. It rounds them up and points them in the right direction.
Did you mean Seaby? If so, they are all Traded Marks/Marcs/Marcuses, each having played for more than one club.
Not a clue! This was indeed my 47th in this interminable series of brainteasers. Number 48 is in the bank, but all Demon minds now turn firstly to the draft and then onto the victory over North Melbourne next weekend.
Okay, time to put this one into its pyjamas, read it a story, tuck it into bed and kiss it goodnight. As late entrant @Harvey Wallbanger correctly identified, all the players share their surname with a brand. B: Coleman camping gear Weston biscuits Rivers clothing H/B: Salem cigarettes Pert shampoo Gibson guitars C: Bedford vehicles Swan beers Windsor caravans H/F: Kent cigarettes Franklin caravans Clark rubber F: Bailey ladders Johnson outboard motors Fox clothing R: Marshall amps Martin guitars Parker pens I/C: Stanley tools Scott tissues Cox mowers Sharp electronics COACH: Simpson appliances Now to explain all those clues which weren't the giveaways that they should have been: 1 - Homage to a well-known former Demon: Christian 'The Brand' Petracca. 2 - Bruce Reville -> B. Reville -> Breville: a well known brand. 3 - Through The Looking Glass - A tough one, being an oblique reference to the 70s band Looking Glass whose one bit hit was 'Brandy'. 4 - The puppy is the titular character in the movie 'Napoleon' -> Brandy 5 - Veteran Setter Of Puzzles - VSOP -> Brandy 6 - Photo of a young Russell Brand. 7 - Photo of a young Jo Brand. Special mention to @kurtneverdied who not only made the link, but was also able to find a connection between all 23 names and guitars/amps.
Could we squeeze in West Coast at the MCG as well?
Congratulations to @Ethan Tremblay who has solved the mystery and earns the right to nominate our first three selections in next week's AFL Draft. (If you were to name Cameron Nairn as our first pick, that would really annoy @Oxdee 😁) Full reveal of the teaser to follow at some point. Other entries still welcome. @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew ? @Ghostwriter ? @Mazer Rackham ? @tilly18 ?
Sheesh, I've given you all the answer on a platter. It's not as if third prize isn't worth winning! By the way @Little Goffy and @kurtneverdied , I'm still waiting for you to hand in the homework that came with your prizes. 😁
Not that obvious, it would seem. How about if I repeat this image But show you how he looks these days ...
All hail @kurtneverdied who has supplied an answer of such quality that, although not exactly what I was after, satisfied the criteria of the teaser. He (? I'm assuming that) wins second prize and is now entitled to redo Melbourne's fixture for 2026 in any manner he sees fit. Here is my final clue. I have no others. This should make it pretty obvious.
Well, it's half-time in the football and the umpires have a handy two goal lead. In better news, the persistence of @Little Goffy has paid off and he is the first to solve the teaser. For his efforts, LG has the honour of composing the wording on the MFC Cheer Squad banner vs any team of his choice. (Keep it nice, mate)
@Little Goffy has sent several more suggestions, but he's just being silly now. I like that! "Although the answer is not football related, you might say that it does pay homage to a well-known former Demon." The Demon in question was coached by Simon Goodwin, which may help to narrow the field a little.
I'll sneak this pictorial clue in before you all switch your attention to the W final at Princes Park. Go Demons!
Suggestions that all players share their name with dogs, fish, birds or cars are all incorrect. I'll have a fifth clue for you a bit later on which will surely give the game away. (that is not a clue, by the way)
Nice to see a couple of overnight answers but, alas, both were incorrect. The players don't share a name with US Counties, nor are they all colourblind. I mentioned in the OP that this is my 47th teaser and I have another one prepared. Two more after that would bring the total to a whopping 50 and qualify me for the title of Veteran Setter Of Puzzles.
You'd scarcely believe just how many people have asked for more of these juicy pictorial clues. I'm happy to oblige! See you all tomorrow, with all three prizes still up for grabs.
Can't see the wood for the trees? Vision cloudy? Can't quite get the picture? The answer may become a little clearer if you use this clue correctly.
How about a pictorial clue? Don't mind if I do.
