John Butcher

From Maffra, dairy country

Butcher, so chicken wings

Ocean-bound could be heading toward the ocean, hence leaving Port. 

If there actually is an answer I think you've got the club right. That's the best fit yet.

Looking at their list I'll go with Justin Westhoff.

Western Star butter and the Hoff spread lots of things in Baywatch. The Hoff could do anything. I don't think he's as sharp as a knife though.

 

Chad Winguard

Butter: Born in Murray Bridge, South Australia, dairy region.

Wings: Wingard & has wing tattoo

Ocean-bound could be heading toward the ocean, hence leaving Port, as per Gundo.

Clutching at straws, he is contracted until 2019.

Scott Pendlebury. I posted this earlier but my post was deleted, most likely because of the accompanying Mr Chow air jerk gif. fair enough. It took a long time to come to this conclusion, but I'm pretty confident it's Pendles.

Mr. Tremblay, please show your workings.

gundogmillionaire's theory is actually not too bad at al...

"spreads butter" could also mean makes the word "butter" longer, so "butcher" (never mind the fact a 't' went awol along the way)

spreading wings could also refer to a butcher bird.

The leaving port equating to being ocean bound is also very good.

Just not sure we would want Butcher at the club :-)

I'll have to transfer them sometime today from the blackboard I used. I work at MIT as a janitor and a professor left a mathematics problem on a blackboard in the hallway for students to solve. Anyway, I solved the equation and the answer was Pendlebury but had to walk off as the professor came out of a class and caught me.

Errr....take a photo dingus.

Are some of you really so desperate to believe we have something huge cooking, that this cryptic rubbish is afforded any more than joke status? (admittedly, some of the posts here are quite clever, but some are clinging to the hope its real)

We should land Hibberd and Lewis. Maybe they will cost us a little more than expected, maybe they wont. We dont have the currency to sign much more than that unless we use next years first or second rounder as well. Why choose to believe in magic?

Riddler/Troll is making Demonland look stupid.

Riddler/Troll is making Demonland a fun place to be for a few days. Enjoy the humour, it's a long time until next season so lighten up, we won't lose a match for months.

I'm wondering which will come first - the answer to this riddle or the end of trade period

Wasn't the last riddle for Josh Kennedy to come to Melbourne in 2014?

 

Barlow is a type of knife and a type of bird. Dockers aren't ocean bound though, they stay at port.

Yes, his riddle was Kennedy last year. My guess is we were trying to get him meaning the rumours were true but we were unable to do so.

Barlow makes sense, again there have been rumours that we were interested in him for a while now.

A port by its nature is bound to the ocean.

Ocean bound may mean heading off to the ocean, leaving port. And Fremantle is a well known port

"ocean bound" would mean "bound for the ocean", in which case leaving Port is the obvious answer.

As I said above, I think the closest to the mark so far is gundogmillionaire with their guess of John Butcher.
spread butter = But(ch)er - albeit minus one 't'
spread wings = Butcher bird
ocean bound = leaving Port.

At 197cm, Butcher meets the requirement of a tall forward who can back up in the ruck.  I'm not saying that he is the player that could do that, in fact I'm positive he is NOT good enough, but as an answer to the riddle, I think it ticks all of the boxes.

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

Well, typically anglo saxon names were derived from the family occupation (baker, smith, cooper, tailor etc), so you may well be correct.

Edited by hardtack

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?

Love your work.

Let me guess, your real name is Will and Affleck and Damon wrote a film about you. In which case, this has to be the correct answer.

 The sight of Hogan and Butcher kicking for goal in the same side will drive us all to drink the cup of Hemlock.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
