Ho ho ho!!! I'm channeling Santa today and gifting a free clue right off the bat. This teaser is not music related in any way, but there are two possibilities. Number 48 might be a total disaster, go belly up and be reminiscent of a Suzi Quatro song. Alternatively, it may go down the Talking Heads track. It definitely won't be a 'Once In A Lifetime' event, but you can be assured that it's the same as it ever was, same as it ever was.** ** Your task is to identify the common factor uniting all the players in the team below. ** Blurt-free zone; answers in a PM only thank you very much. ** A trail of breadcrumbs may be spread from time to time. Are they clues? Hints? Red herrings? Misdirections? That's for you to decipher. ** Did somebody mention Santa Claus?

It's a footy club. My money's on 'Whitey'.

Couldn't agree more, and it's not just footy. The big red "W" (Westpac) on the front of the Australian Test team's shirts looks absolutely dreadful.

Gosh, who to put my faith in? Proven gun recruiter Jason Taylor or random forum poster? Tough, tough choice.

West Coast fans are either insufferable gloaters when they're winning or insufferable sooks when they're not. On balance, I prefer the latter.

As picked up several days ago by @Mouseymoo . Saturday at 09:54 So I guess now we're all considered Onley fans?

Wait until you hear about gatefold LPs with lyric sheets and other inserts!!

No, the team won us the premiership. He played a part, but so did many, many others.

Myrtle Ford? Lovely lady. Did a sterling job coaching the Victorian women's team.

What now? I think it's time to close this particular forum down for another year with our list already full.

What relevance does that have?

Yep, I did. The doctor prescribed penicillin. Oh, THAT clinic. Yeah, nah.

Hmmm, I was concentrating on the followers. Imagine if Charlie Spargo stood on Kysaiah Pickett's shoulders. He'd then be the same height as Max Gawn.

That's wonderful news! It means he won't be anywhere near MFC.

*pedants 😁😁😁

That's all well and good, but did you predict this? Wickets taken in the first Ashes test by country of birth Australia: 20 New Zealand: 5 South Africa: 5 Barbados: 2 England: 0

Nobody in the #19, @Demongirl35 ? Onley? Or perhaps Matthews?

I'd love to join this thread, but my hairshirt still hasn't come back from the dry cleaners.

Can't wait to see the The Demonland Centre up and running.

Me too, @rjay . He was my first Demon hero and I proudly wore his #29 on my Melbourne footy jumper.

Was he seated or did he stand?

Way back in 1960, the prescient Roy Orbison sang and also co-wrote a song about Riley doing extra training on his own to try to make the grade. Older readers will remember the wonderful "Onley The Lonely", which was deservedly a big hit. Let's hope that Riley is just as successful.
