Demonstone

We drafted him but he never crossed to Victoria from his native S.A. Played for Adelaide and was then traded to Sydney where he didn't play a single game.

We have a winner and it comes as no surprise that it's @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew in first place. He is hereby awarded the virtual Victoria Cross* for his outstanding work. * Not to be confused with the mood most of us will be in if it's a Port Adelaide v Brisbane Grand Final.

The lone response to date is that all my team share a surname with baseball players. Alas, that is not correct. There is no sporting connection at all (just to narrow the field for you all).

Given that this is the week when we remember and salute our former and current brave men and women, it seems fitting to compile a team of on field warriors (who must not be compared to or considered the same as our ANZACs and ADF members). Today's team is a mishmash of past and present, male and female, well known and obscure, Melbourne players and those from other teams who all appeared in at least one game of football at the highest level. To confuse the enemy, the team has been named very much out of position and in completely random order. They also have something else in common. This is your mission, should you choose to accept. Virtual medals will be awarded to the first three posters to solve the puzzle. As always, your responses in a PM only please!

I once knocked a bloke out cold on the footy field. Luckily, he regained consciousness after I gently whispered my community work into his ear, along with my achievements and good character. Probably saved his life come to think of it.

He'd be welcome if he agreed to pack his McBags and come to MFC.

FTFY

Getting back to yesterday's results, I see that Carlton fans were visibly rocked by that close loss.

Too busy for mine with five logos at the top. I don't think we need the MFC logo on this or our normal jumper TBH.

I'm just leaning on a lamp post, there's a kind of hush and something tells me I'm into something good. Hope you like your coffee black because there's no milk today.

I'm staying right away from this one. You might say I'm being a Herman's Hermit.

Making him eat McDonald's is manifestly cruel and unusual punishment.

You'd have to know the gender and name in advance I guess.

Early in the first quarter but not the first minute. Collingwood had already kicked two goals. Please don't take this comment as supporting that dog Maynard in any way, shape or form.

I say we start a crowdfunding campaign to buy @binman something to use during podcasts.

Our favourite redhead won't like that you've spelled his name wrong.

Wouldn't that be boomers' round?

There's no apostrophe in "boomers".

You could get a Frangaburger but I hear they're a bit rubbery.

* Sestan (and no apostrophe of course)

I think he's talking about Luke and Sam Darcy.

It's the old recruiting dilemma - do we draft for need or do we draft best available. In the Mid-Season Draft, I would go with drafting for need (a backup ruck for example).

Mmmmm ... Crunch time. Don't mind if I do!
