Or simply he was intent on leading us on 

 

I, for one, don't feel particularly led-on. I was more interested in 'Which player spreads both butter and his wings, yet remains ocean-bound?' rather than if such player was in discussions with the MFC. In fact, the Riddler never said a single word in that regard. Only that x 'is perhaps the key to the future of the Melbourne Demons'.

The Riddler had someone in mind - and that was all that was of interest to me. If he/she just strung some random words together, then we would have been led on. And if so, I would find that highly amusing. In fact,

How do you know the Riddler had someone in mind and it wasn't just a troll sending you all on a wild goose chase?

We have had zero contact from him since the thread started.

That's what I said - if that were the case I would find it even more amusing. Have you ever chased a goose? I have found it to be spiritually rewarding

Mono did you prefer King Corkey or Uncle Norman as host? By the way I still think it a scandal that Professor Ratbaggy was not recognised for his contributions to science at the time! Oh and Ron Barrassi did a footy segment for kids, I still have a memory of him nuggetting his footy boots, stating that even if you can't play footy at least make sure you look like one, clean boots, shorts, jumper tucked in etc.

And political correctness hadn't overtaken the Mcc at that time.  But alas it did, leaving the footy club limp & envious.

I loved watching kids almost choking themselves to death trying to out drink Gerry Gee while Ron Blasket (a tisket a tasket) looked on with a sadistic grin across his dial.  King Corky and Princess Panda were always a bit dodgy (rumor was that PP went on to work in adult films). Happy Hammond was a snappy dresser in his plaid suits. Even as a child I could tell that Uncle Norman was a senile old [censored]; still have a vivid picture in my mind of the time he broke his leg on live TV falling down the tiered seats as he walked through his audience.

They all look dodgy to me now, except that one with the wooden smile.

He actually broke his leg on his first show,  coming down a makeshift slide.  

Also Princess Panda while married to my cousin, her first husband, was related to me. I remember her as a nice lady. She was a former model.

And when the good Princess passed on, did you inherit the royal title?

The riddler had some fun which many seemed to enjoy.  Most recognized it for what it was. 

Generation Dee is a troll but I doubt he'll be banned.

Mods? There's a number of posters here who have chosen to derail this thread with their senescent reminiscings. Time to intervene and get it back on track.

How on earth could you get a thread like this back on track?

That's not a riddle BTW.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
