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.

No more takers? I'll give it another couple of hours before the big reveal. Don't do, don't describe, just be!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Clue you say? Today's teaser is not related to football or to any other sport for that matter.

Star Wars Soccer League result from today's game: R2D - 2 defeated C3P - 0.

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.

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.

Fly for some marks? Bee a forward target? Flea from tacklers? He mite otherwise consider cricket.

Very close! Carlton and North Melbourne played each other in 1999 with no GF appearances since.

Can't help with any names Bob, but congratulations on playing one more game for the mighty Demons (at the MCG no less) than most of us on here.

Lots of time to kill before we kill Geelong tomorrow night. Fancy an EASY challenge? Here's an undemanding, uncomplicated and unexacting undertaking for you all. Below is a team (in position) of current and recent MFC players. It's a pretty strong side with plenty of marking power up forward, although the on-ball division could use an injection of class. You know the drill: * What is the common factor that connects them all? * Answers in a PM only if you would, please. =============================================================== B: Trent Rivers Chris Lamb Jake Lever H/B: Daniel Ward Sam Frost Colin Garland C: Robert Flower Tom Sparrow Steven Stretch H/F: Kade Chandler Warren Dean Brad Miller F: Ben Beams Brad Green Martin Pike R: Stefan Martin Daniel Cross Rohan Bail I/C: Jake Spencer Daniel Bell Jayden Hunt Oskar Baker SUB: Tom Couch

You might need to attend umpire training and quiz former Demon and current goal umpire David Rodent.

Ollie Florent has re-signed for five more years with the Bin Chickens. Oh well.

Only one way to handle a Lobb. Smash it back over the net for a winner.

I'm thorry.

Gasp! Could @Lucifers Hero really be Caroline Wilson in real life?

If Eddie was one of the Marx Brothers, his stage name would be Skid.

Yeo is a Pro. One of our sponsors might like to arrange a marketing deal with him.

That's a very small injury list. Maybe this Selwyn bloke knows what he's doing. Adelaide, by comparison, now has four players out for the season. I forget who their fitness guy is.

You need to give your phone a jolly good talking to, @Jaded No More. It keeps adding a superfluous "s" to Mc Adam.

I think I can help you out. "Effing" is a euphemism for a naughty word that we can't say on here.

Be that as it may, some posters still bemoan that we "let him go" or "didn't try to keep him".
