Thanks to LS for this idea!

This week, participants are to string together as many AFL Player Surnames as they can from a list of letters, aiming to score the highest DT score possible from the scores of the players who's surnames they have formed. Each participant is to select 1 vowel set and 1 consonant set, these will be predetermined, but you will not be able to see the contents of each set until after it has been selected. Each vowel set contains 15 letters, while each consonant set contains 45. It is from these letters that you are to make the AFL Player Surnames which will form your score this weekend.

Each 'tile' is single use only, therefore if you have 4 'E's, you can only use 4 'E's in your selected names.

Unused vowels will incur a penalty of 50DT points (deducted)
Unused consonants will incur a penalty of 25DT points (deducted)

You can claim a set whenever you are ready, you do not need to pick corresponding numbers.

Please be very careful with the contents of your set! I've put them in alphabetical order for your convenience (you're welcome). Full disclosure, I have absolutely no idea how this mini-game will play out so prizes will be pretty conservative. Give it a crack  ;)

Also, if anyone wishes to submit via PM given you could theoretically give other people ideas, you are, as always welcome to do so.

For some reason, nobody got any 'W's -- so everyone has received 2. This brings your total consonants to 47.
