@710 Ashbury St is reasonably close to solving the mystery and a little more cranium straining should have things in order. Nobody else has submitted a suggestion. I might need to provide a clue at some point.

In a departure from my customary MO, today's quiz is very much football based.

One more before the big day when we gorge ourselves, argue with family members and conk out for a drunken mid-afternoon snooze. This is teaser #49, with the half-century scheduled to be raised before the year is out. You all know the drill by now. What common factor links the players in the team below? Answers in a PM only, or Yule be sorry. ======================================================================= B: Shannon Hurn Daniel Curtin Seb Tape H/B: Lachie Ash Tom De Koning Jack Newnes C: Sam Power Heath Black Farren Ray H/F: Brad Johnson Anthony Rocca Jake Stringer F: Kai Lohmann Jack Reiwoldt Nic Naitanui R: Brad Ottens Dustin Martin Darcy Parish I/C: Jarrod Picket Angus Monfries Reef McInnes Jarrad Grant

A non-playing Captain would be unique and guaranteed to confuse the opposition. Let's do it!

Yep, it's the cherry on top.

And so say all of us. All the best to you and yours.

They're eyeing off their opponents with the Vics looking west and the WA lads looking east, while keeping a lookout for marauding seagulls.

Let's not go the early White Crow.

Sauce?

It was either that or Snarky Marky and Crabby Abby. I'll quit posting the quizzes only when they stop upsetting you. I wuv you Fwankie!! ❣️❣️❤️❤️

We're all looking forward to seeing him Roma the forward line.

Glad to hear that. And the kids? Shirty Bertie and Stroppy Poppy also good? Just for you, your Royal Crankiness, I have spent the past hour drafting two more quizzes to sate your lubugrious desires. Who knows, one day you might even solve one of them. 😁

How is Moody Judy these days? And the family cat? All well, I trust.

Is that a cross between a city and a site?

Hope your 21st was a great night! 😁

Yes, but they will have to make a special deal before being given access.

You want hard data? I'll give you hard data!!

I'm sure that @old dee would be happy to share his recollections of the day.

Let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas, which of course is to celebrate the birth of Santa.

Jake's dad Brett Bowey only played 85 games for St Kilda, so no FS option there.

England before the Ashes (left) compared to England tonight.

If the office girl was making those picks, we would have ended up with Darcy Parish, Dylan Stephens, Brodie Kemp and Brock Smith. 50 shades of meh there. Of course Taylor doesn't nail every single pick, but no recruiter does.
