  2. But how do you know who Scott voted for? He could have given Lever five votes for all we know.
  3. Do we actually know how the respective coaches voted or are we just assuming?
  4. Is that so? Huh. I assumed he was injured.
  5. I remember Michael Roach being award GOTD for a pretty straightforward set shot but got the gong because it was his 100th goal of the season. It certainly wasn't the best goal kicked that round.
  6. Tanner Bruhn, who is turning out to be a much better player than I imagined, also missed the second half. Geelong may have found another though in Jhye Clark, who I thought looked very impressive.
  7. "Flower takes another bounce, baulks an opponent, runs to half-forward, lines up the goals, this to win the game and ... they're racing at Morphetville".
  8. To the tune of The Addams Family ... "Your sister is your mother, Your father is your brother. You all *ahem* one another, The Magpie family"
  9. Posters suggesting that McAdam comes in need to remember that he only played about a half in his VFL comeback game last week. He would need to get through close to a full game today to prove he's good to go at AFL level but I doubt they'd play him off a four day break against Carlton. All things going well, it's more likely we'll see him make his Demon debut the following week v West Coast.
  10. Goody was asked about this in his presser and said that Jack sometimes gets a stinger in his shoulder area but that it comes good after a minute of pain.
  11. Hands up if you had Caleb Windsor to kick more goals tonight than Hawkins, Cameron, Miers, and Rohan COMBINED (!) on your bingo card. Be honest, now.

    I remember Kevin McNamee coming to coach Portland in 1971, but was unaware of his Melbourne background. He later had the Clare Castle pub in Graham Street, Port Melbourne for many years.
  13. You are correct in that surnames are proper* nouns but that doesn't apply to my team. They all share a surname with an actual thing, an object in real life. * Yours is probably improper.
  14. Yes thrillseekers, all the players in my team share their surname with the name of something. In other words, all their surnames are also nouns. I've got another teaser ready to go but I'll give them a rest for now.
  15. No more takers? I'll give it another couple of hours before the big reveal. Don't do, don't describe, just be!
  16. A bit later than usual, but @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has predictably nutted out the answer. I'll leave the teaser up overnight for others to grapple with should they wish to do so. It would be in potential solvers' interests to look at the players' names closely.
  17. Another new player in @demosaw has opened his account with the correct answer. All medals have been won, but I can award a participatory DENIM.
  18. Running into third place with his maiden attempt is the outsider @Neil Crompton who wraps up BRONZE. Other guesses more than welcome. Keep 'em coming!
  19. Second place has been claimed by a poster I'll call A. N. Onymous who shuns the limelight but still takes home the SILVER for correctly identifying the connection.
  20. Clue you say? Today's teaser is not related to football or to any other sport for that matter.
  21. Star Wars Soccer League result from today's game: R2D - 2 defeated C3P - 0.
  22. Congratulations @La Dee-vina Comedia! You have indeed solved today's teaser and take home GOLD. I really thought that this one was at the easy end of the range and expected more answers by now.
  23. I agree that it is a matter worth discussing. The natural home for any such thread would be "General Discussion" board, which is intended for non-footy related topics.
  24. Fly for some marks? Bee a forward target? Flea from tacklers? He mite otherwise consider cricket.
  25. Very close! Carlton and North Melbourne played each other in 1999 with no GF appearances since.
