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.

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. :)

  • 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.
