We used to have a bit of fun with these a few years ago on the old Demonology. 

The answer to each cryptic clue is a Demons player from this century.

Please limit yourself to TWO answers so as to give others a chance.

The judge (ie. me) has the final say.  Have at it cryptic fans....

 

1.  He was on a standard with Roger. 

Darren Jolly

2.  More suited to another sport.

Rohan Bail

3.  Classic and/or type of player.

4.  Second rate Collingwood hack.

5.  Smack a head coach or another one?

Luke Tapscott

6.  Given stern directions to finish up.

7.  Our favourite umpire?

Ricky Petterd

8.  Weights program proved helpful.

Steven Armstrong

9.  Matches?  Danger!

10.  Could have been another Rivers?

11.  Sounds like he was cool ... deep down.

James Sellar

12.  It was surprising to hear he was good.

When are you updating??

     Thank you linesmen, thank you ballboys and I hope you've had a bit of fun.

    Thank you demonstone.  Clever work!

    Now the amusing part where everyone has to show their failed workings.

    Classic and/or type of player.  Trent Ormond-Allen (anagram-homophone). Thought the classic may have referred to the cliched MFC hyphen (also denoting or/and of a name).

    Given stern directions to finish up. Gary Moorcroft. Stern-directions - the rudder on a sailing craft (homophone of croft). Moor - to finish up sailing. 

    It was surprising to hear he was good. Heretier (homophone) Lumumba/Harry-O (the Oh = surprising).

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
