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.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
