Hi all, with it being a bit slow news wise at the moment, I thought I'd put together a couple of cryptic clues to keep you all amused. All current players. Enjoy.

1.       Meals on wheels? His delivery is superb.

2.       Ahab warns guys? He’s muddled after being hit in the head

3.       His locker isn’t Davey’s

4.       Returning to revel in 2019? He’s not backwards in coming forwards.

5.       Go back brown wag! There’s a tightly packed crowd of people here.

6.       Can Ky jive? Maybe if he wasn’t so confused.

7.       swift player, aerobic runner, goal oriented – just what we need!

8.       Hopefully, he’s quite like Mike.

9.       awe misnamed – when sorted he will take us to the promised land.

10.     Anymore Darcy? With less fumbles, he'll be a regular.

 

I'll cherry pick a couple of easy ones:

 

2.  Angus Brayshaw

3.  Nathan Jones

 

Can I suggest a limit of two answers per player to prevent people hogging all the glory.

I’m thinking this is easy but I’m hopeless with these.

8. James Jordon 

 

1. salem

4. lever

All good JD, I’ve edited. I’ve had a go already, just a bit quiet at home tonight.


7. Tom Sparrow?

At the risk of overstepping the 2 name limit:

7. Charlie Spargo

Had me stumped, but eventually saw the initials of each clue word. 

Well done IHW.

Well done to all. You're all too good at the anagrams, so I'll change it up a bit and have a crack at some harder ones.

 

Nice thread In Harmes Way. 
I've given it a go, created some more cryptic clues for current day players:

A) 
I'm desperate to watch this Dee play in Darwin, in order to see him,  i'll even take the jumbo, ta, thanks for offering.

B) 
Interestingly, King and Colbert were both born after April. 

C) 
Many on here might not like Hird, but i feel sorry for him, I hope he can stay out of danger. Improved out of sight. 

D) 
The Grouch and the Farmer. Coming along in leaps and bounds. 

E) 
Always tries hard. Namesake of the great. Big tank. 

F) 
Absolute gun, please sir, may i have some more, highlights reels from you this year.
Heard Sheedy said he had a joke of an interview for our coaches position

G)
I love doughnuts, but what is my middle name? The fox's abode is in sight. Chase that fox. Hope he lives up to his potential. 

H) 
Speedy. A bit too predictable. May go cold / missing in action from time to time. 

I) 
Edgerton has been able to Forge a path in the Aussie film industry. 

J) 
Great at taking marks effortlessly, lissome, kicks skillfully, has a massively long kick for goal. What more can you ask for? 


C James Harmes

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
