Deevoted, another forum i frequent (a history one) often have quizzes

The winning poster gets to pose the next quiz

If he declines the originator offers a new one

adds a bit of variety

just a thought if you get stumped coming up with new ones

Thats not a bad idea. I cant see myself doing this every week. I'm not sure about the longivity of it once the players get into full training and then the season starts. But so far, it seems that its been well received. As I said earlier, it was trial and error, with getting the 1st clue just right.

I an open for suggestions and ideas, if it means keeeping it going. I started it, that doesnt mean I wouldnt share the concept.

So far it seems popular enough.

    Update :

    I will post a new "Who Am I" a bit after midday Wed.

    Just to re-enforce the rules:

    One guess. One Post per clue: (it just gives others a chance to post their guess)

    There are 4 clues for each player. (if needed)

    This one has gone cryptic. The answer is in there,if you study it hard enough.

    HINT: The player is not a ruckmen or tall. Eliminate all players before 1985,thats doesnt mean this player started in 1985. I'm just narrowing down the era a bit. This might seperate the men from the boys.

    Reminder - One guess/post per clue. (read the opening post if in doubt) Good luck.

    Weather's magnificent and now that Redleg's turned up we're concentrating on sorting out the experimenting inquiry.

    Enjoyed watching the cup from someone's apartment overlooking the beach.

    Winning trainer a former Demon and James McDonald rode the second placegetter. I knew we did the right thing by letting him go!

    I did 4 days in Broadbeach over the cup - they get right into the cup up here. Sat for two hours at a cafe drinking fabulous coffee and watching horrifically dressed women off to parties balanced on feet torturing 9" heels - it was amusing if not a little grotesque.

    May I suggest you go back a little Deevoted, we had a few hundred Demons play between 1897 and 1950 - that may pull a few up short.

    Thanks to all those that have been offering encouargement , positive suggestions etc much appreciated.

    And to the posters that have been having a crack. I have taken it all onboard, but still unsure if I can keep doing it for much longer.

    In case some are unware of the concept. I would suggest reading my opening post.

    All the clues / quizzes prior to this post have been guessed correctly. They are done and dusted.

    A brand new quizz will follow this post. have fun with it, and good luck.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
