I planned on having my last drink three drinks ago but this thread is far too entertaining to stop. 

I'm still on it as well.

Spread butter - Knife - Shank

Spread wings - Bird - Magpie

If this is some sick joke then I am not finding it amusing!

The Riddler never sleeps. However the Riddler will only provide one more clue before trade period re-opens tomorrow: the player is from interstate. 

So we're getting too close, too soon.  Or you would tease us with more hints than just providing us with one hint, & very broad at that.

Actual butter, straight from the fridge, is really hard to spread.

Interstate teams with wings are the Eagles, Crows and Swans. The 2 players I found from those lists who have obvious "ocean bound" names are Beech (beach) and Shaw (shore) from the crows. I'm still missing the butter knife bit but

Which player spreads both butter and his wings, yet remains ocean-bound?

The deal must involve a mega trade between goal coast, brisbane and the dees. Player in question, Pearce Hanley goes to the suns, rockiff to the dees, and draft picks to the lions. 

Hanley remains ocean bound as he just moves from brisbane to gold coast, bondi beach?. Spreads wings as he is a midfielder/winger (or because he came from Ireland on a plane?), and spreads butter could refer to kerryGOLD an irish company which produces diary including butter. 

Surely this must be it right? LOL a bit left field but the best i could do

You can get beech wood butter knives or butter presses. 

Not sure a mature age recruit is the key to our future though, even if he's a very handy player who would've played by now if not for being stuck behind the leagues best forward line.


On the Adelaide list Melbourne have expressed interest in Harry Dear son of Hawks premiership player Paul. Cannot see any connection to butter though.

Butter is pretty dear these days

This could be a trick - where are you located Riddler? If you are interstate, then the player could be Victorian.

Yes, the player is an Interstate insomniac. Tom ( the sleepwalker ) Rockliff (  african butterfly )


I read the riddle differently. Who on our list is ocean bound? If they go, we get something in return. Ocean destinations maybe West Coast, Gold Coast don't consider Brisbane coastal. The only name mentioned as trade bait is Lynden Dunn and maybe Vandenberg. So my answer is the player in question Lynden rather, than who we receive.

Sounds spot on dc - Salem's family own a restaurant or two so fair to say he has 'spread butter' at some stage!

Toby Nankervis? Currently at home in Tassie which is bound by ocean. Is a swan so has wings to spread. The letters for KNIVES is in his name which can spread butter, or there is a Toby Knife. Bit obscure I know

No, that's Toby Jugs... he'll get those as he gets older.

Jake Lever, a crow with wings (whom we had very high interest in 2014 National Draft)

Lever 1: Knife to spread butter

Lever 2: On a vessel, the vertical separation between the lines of force buoyancy and weight is known as the 'righting lever'

Where can I collect my meat tray?

  • 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.

  • 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.
