Listing the playing numbers etc. is fine.

If someone lists the results for that day, there may be bans...

bwhaha,love your humour. and fair enough too!

The way things are atm, I would take anything relating to a GF we played in, but NOT that one, there are 11 others to discuss.

Thnx Stingrays for your troubles :)

Thanks Deevoted and Stingray for the info. I am surprised! Stingray, fancy C Wilson at number ten. She was a back up ruckman, ( Sorry Colin). Also Stingray,do you know why Donnny Williams got an asterisk next to his name in the team listing?

Not only a quiz but a reference on some history.

Looks like another clue is needed.

Checked the original and there is no asterisk there. It was a PDF file that I converted to text, so assume it was an aberration due to the conversion.

Jack is about to shout the bar :)

I may have to keep a running tally of who gets the most correct. (as soon as i bring down the cable internet up nth)

red and blue forever has decided to stick his head in the noose.

He will be in the quiz chair next, starting tomorrow.

er Jack aint you holidaying on the Gold Coast????

Actually on the way home but currently stranded at Coolangata Airport due to delays caused by a computer outage. I told them they could borrow my computer if it would help but got a polite refusal.

George's real name was Theodoroulakes (or something like that) but it was shortened at some stage. Perhaps he was worried that Jack Dyer, who was commentating on 3KZ at the time, might have some trouble pronouncing the long version.

He was one of many great hopes the club's had in the past 48 years but sadly, few have delivered. We're still waiting ...

Is there a bar at this godforesaken airport?

I have no intention of taking over your very interesting quiz Deevoted BUT see if clever dick Jack can answer this one. 'I played country football against the great John Coleman before becoming a Demon'. Over to you Jack and anyone else including you Deevoted.

Damn I was a bit late on the computer outrage. Dont mention my name at the airport. They might believe you.

Know a good lawyer if I need some sort of defence?

Yeah, you know that as well?. was something along those lines. I need to recheck, Well done again.

That means he comes from the Mornington Peninsula and played in either the late 40s/early 50s. I'll think about it while I'm on my flight home but that should be a sufficient clue to help someone like gsmith who would remember that era well.

Off the top of my head, no idea.

I was trying to avoid random posts such as yours. No offence, and if you can put together another 5 like that one, You can have a go at quiz master for a week. randoms will make it confusing if we get a few doing the same. But if it happens it happens i cant prevent it.

Hard to get the cigar with that one. Shane McGrath was at the club right throughout the 40s and would have retired by about the same time Coleman came onto the scene. The only thing they had in common would be that they both owned pubs. Shane had one in North Melbourne which I used to pass on my way to Uni.

Sorry mate, this is just a one off to try and stump WJ. As I said it's your quiz show and it is very enjoyable and gets people away from the doom and gloom stories featuring Caro and co.

They probably knew you needed it more for the quiz ans :)

If its Tiger airlines,talk to a Ms C Wislon. she may know more about it, than you know. (U being a Dee supporter)

Used to love listening to Jack and the Major. "A good ordinary footballer"... or "if you dont mind,UMPIRE!"

Throw in him with a heap of others. Tilbrook still erks me.

Is there a bar at this godforesaken airport?

If you need at beer, you should have gone out 30 mins earlier,my 2nd clue may have lasted for another hour. :)

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca  

    The superstar Demon midfielder made a successful return to the fold after his devastating injury last year and the subsequent fallout from the treatment he received, during which time he sought to depart the club. Petracca's professionalism and strong play, both in the midfield and up forward, were outstanding and resulted in him being runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. However, early this week, the club's new CEO, Paul Guerra, confirmed that the under-contract Petracca has again requested a trade, adding that he would only be allowed to leave for a “quality offer that turns our head". No doubt some Demon heads are already spinning.
