I think he's talking about that bloke at fullback, folks!

To redress the obfuscation in my previous post, it's time for a proper clue. There's no sub in today's team but, at the risk of going in far too top-heavy, that spot in this team would be amply filled by the huge frame of former Fitzroy giant ruckman Dean Farnham.

Narrator: "But he didn't have it ..." Another clue, you say? OK then! The misspellings in the OP are not relevant. In fact, there are no clues at all secreted among the intro or in any of my responses to date. Is that a clue or a non-clue? I haven't a clue.

Congratulations to @Graeme Yeats' Mullet for taking out second which earns a first round pick in the draft. Choose wisely, grasshopper!

That's much more preferable to those who are already slagging him off.

There have been a handful of suggestions, but I can confirm that the solution has nothing to do with golf or music nor is it football related. More helpful (?) information to follow if required.

Wanna bet?

I thought so too. But, here we are.

The long lost @Mazer Rackham has reappeared from parts unknown to solve the teaser. For his efforts, he is granted Pick One in the draft and may select any eligible player he so chooses.

Man, it's so quiet around here you could hear a ping drop. The season's over, the trade period is done and dusted and the draft is still weeks away. The boards are largely dormant (but hopefully not moribund) and it's clearly time for some Demonland CULTURE! You all know the drill by now. What common factor unites the players in this team? Answers in a PM only. Virtual draft prizes can be yours! You could possibly select Reed, Curtain, Durrsma, Saunders or Caddie but that might spell trouble. ================================================ B: Gordon Casey Harry Taylor Easton Wood H/B: Steven Clark Will Gould Riley Bonner C: Shane Bond Greg Williams Bailey Smith H/F: Dan Butler Tom Boyd Shane Crawford F: Josh Fraser Jesse Hogan Leon Harris R: Jeff White Adam Goodes Bobby Rose I/C: Rhys Stanley Harry Morrison Nathan Freeman Andrew Eccles

Harley would be a Triumph.

We drafted Danny. He was later recruited by Adelaide when they entered the competition. edit: Other players mentioned earlier were Alan Johnson and Allen Jakovich. Again, these players were drafted, not traded from other clubs. disclaimer: In no way am I attempting to endorse @IRW's boneheaded post.

He'll have to fight Rooey for it. Do you mean #4 perhaps?

Disagree. I'd say it was shrewd recruitment.

Forget the "No DH" policy, I'm implementing the "No JG" policy.

That's a great idea!

The Age's Mark McGowan has weighed in with this article today. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/unbelievable-or-dee-minished-what-s-the-real-state-of-melbourne-s-list-20231017-p5ecwm.html

If his surname was spelled "Macadam", we could go down that road. Tar very much!

Both games will still be at the MCG won't they?

I heard that it's "Elmo".

Being a premiership player doesn't make you a star or give you protected species status. Plenty of ordinary players have played in premiership teams. Exhibit A: Billy Frampton.

Does he Teakle your fancy?

Our club has made the decision to recruit Tom Fullarton. He hasn't even arrived yet and you're already writing him off. You're not really much of a supporter are you?
