I haven't seen a lot of him, but my understanding was that his surname derived from his manner of kicking at goal.

Well, well, well. After a two year hiatus, the Riddler has decided to return. Entering the second week of a tumultuous trade period in which we've seen unexpected chess moves and the demise of player loyalty, there are bound to be rumours floating around the airwaves. Will Jordan Lewis arrive? Will the Hibberd deal go through? Is there any truth to the Kurt Tippett murmurings? But fear not, for the Riddler does not deal in speculation. The Riddler only deals in cold, hard, facts. Contained in this Riddle is perhaps the key to the future of the Melbourne Demons. Unlock it, if you dare.

Riddle me this: Which player spreads both butter and his wings, yet remains ocean-bound?

Er?

Well, lock, key = Lachie Weller? 

Lock knife is a common type of knife.
He spreads hard on the wings
Docker (ocean bound)

Fills a need but re-signed this year.

Lachie Henderson

Lock key

Henderson butter beans

(eddie) Henderson wrote/sun Butterfly (wings)

bound to Geelong (ocean)

 

 

 

he says "yet remains ocean bound". note he doesn't say "is/was/will be ocean bound"

this implies something about the player is related to the ocean rather than the existing club

How about Tom Scully.

Scull is a type of boat - Knife is pretty self explanatory

I'd say Barlow.
In the old days on the docks a "bar of butter" was used with the ropes involved. Stuck at a dock where ships are ocean bound.

Barlow's lark - Wikipedia

Type of bird

It's actually incredible that both Griffin and Barlow from Fremantle (bound by ocean) are a type or brand of knife and the name of something with wings.

There's practically a knife for every name you google. 

There's probably a Knifeduck Buoy knife.

I've just ordered a fixed-blade Viojo-Rainbow hunting knife on ebay.

What sort of psychopath would butter their sandwich with a Stanley knife? I want him at the club.

but would barlow be "the key to the future of the Melbourne Demons". i don't think so.

Hmmmm. Good point. Back to square one.....

 

Where has the riddler gone? We need another clue or a confession that this was all for his/her 'laffs.

If it was, well played :)

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
