Does anybody have any vision of that incident? I know that Bomber fans are ropable about it. I initially thought that Turner stumbled over a prone Draper and made accidental contact with his head and expected an Essendon free kick, but I think Draper may have then raised his hand and grabbed Disco by the foot/ankle and was penalised for a trip.

Ryan: Can I yell out that umpire Williamson has a stupid haircut? Security: No, we won't allow that. Ryan: Can I think that umpire Williamson has a stupid haircut? Security: You can think whatever you like. Ryan: Hey Williamson! I think you have a stupid haircut!

What's baffling is why you continue to keep picking at this scab. We get it. You don't agree with the decision to draft Kentfield. No need to make the same post over and over again in multiple threads.

From a media report on the evening of 28th September 2024: "Melbourne took Sydney by surprise with the unexpected late inclusion of Christian Petracca, who spent the entire game in the goal square and whose match winning ten goals earned him a second Norm Smith Medal."

Plenty of nuffies around. This is your post after last year's finals loss to Carlton. ...If McDonald ever pulls on a dees jumper again I'll eat my fist... How's that typing with one hand working out for you?

Collingwood lose, Carlton lose, Essendon lose and the mighty Demons WIN! It's the quintessential quadrella of quality. Woo hoo!

I'm starting to doubt whether even Tom Fullarton's own mother knows how to spell his name correctly. You'd think his own footy club might get it right sooner or later.

Inconsistent spell check, too. At various points his name appears as Pedersen (correct), Petersen and Pederson.

Special mention to @buck_nekkid who went with Brent Moloney for this one as a match for Bitzer Maloney from the Hairy Maclary series of books. It deserves its own virtual prize.

Some more suggestions have been received, but none correct unfortunately. The other answers are as follows: 3. Marcus Seecamp. This was rather tricky and a little obtuse. "Grasp" in this case has the meaning of see (eg. I see, I understand) and "Wing" refers to a group of people (eg. "I'm in the Rolling Stones camp, not The Beatles" or "He's in the conservative camp when it comes to politics") 4. Daniel Cross. A bit more straightforward. Mongrel is another word for a mixed breed or a crossbreed. Thanks to all who participated or just read the thread. There are still a few of @Little Goffy's posers to be solved.

Is his brother nicknamed "Nightclub" by any chance?

The remaining clues (3 and 4) have both been solved by @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew who is officially crowned Cryptic Champion of The Colony. I'll leave the quiz up overnight and reveal the last two answers in the morning if there are no further takers.

The clues have helped! Although previously solved by @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew, the official kudos goes to @Lucifers Hero who supplied the correct answer just one minute before @buck_nekkid also cracked it. 6. Ed Langdon (Fritz Lang, legendary film director/producer plus Bomber = don)

Another clue: one of the three is a current player.

You come across as perpetually enraged, which is your right of course.

A little clue for my remaining three? All started their career at other clubs.

That appears to be your default setting, Billy.

Three to go, thrillseekers - numbers 3, 4 and 6 still to be solved. @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew got 3 and 6 but had already fulfilled his quota of two correct answers per poster. Still haven't heard from regulars like @Lucifers Hero, @WalkingCivilWar, @Jumping Jack Clennett or @Mazer Rackham

I'm quite Fonda jokes like this.

It's a big shout out to another new player @Hawk the Demon who has snared an answer. 8. Jack Grimes (dismal = grim plus points = e and s for east and south: points on the compass) edit: HtD is on fire! Consider no. 5 also solved. 5. Gary Moorcroft (moor = make fast plus croft = a small garden, esp. in Scotland)

We have a new player and winner. Well done to @Bingo for snaffling his first cryptic. 2. Jay Lockhart (seal = lock plus stag = hart)

No surprise that @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has picked a winner. 1. Matthew Warnock (battle = war plus scar = nock) edit: He's also managed to decipher another 7. Travis Johnstone (Jack = John plus [Charlie] Watts =[Rolling] Stone

Just watched that and have some observations: 1. Our forward line was dysfunctional with the ball just being bombed in. 2. Robert Flower wasn't playing or was off injured. 3. The commentators actually called the game without all the BS. 4. The MCG had a few patches with no grass, particularly the centre square. 5. Sean Wight was a champion. 6. I was expecting a last-minute win to the Demons. I'm retrospectively shattered.

Congratulations are in order for @reynolds46 who has has submitted two correct answers. 9. Chris Heffernan (moo moo is a cow or heifer whose ma's ma is her nan). 10. Michael or Ben Newton (current = new plus weight = ton)
