It's lockdown and you can tell that I'm quite bored and have way too much time on my hands.

Below is a team, listed in position from the backline.  Some of the names will be familiar, others less so but all played VFL/AFL.

Your task is to find the common link.

 

B:  John James  Chad Morrison   Majak Daw

H/B:  Alex Keath   Ted Richards   Neville Stone

C:  Jason Gram   Michael Parsons   Craig Bird

H/F:  Farren Ray   Rick Davies   Rene Kink

F:  Lachie Neale   George Young   Gary Cowton

R:  Chris Bryan   Chris Connolly   Eric Sweet

 

 Have at it Demon fans!  :D

    Love your work Demonstone. I'll take the easy ones:

     

    James Morrison - the Doors

    Keith Richards - Stones

    Ray Davies - the Kinks

    Bryan Connolly - the Sweet

    Missing the Neil Young/ Gary Cowton link, and the centreline has me lost as well.

    James/Jim Morrison was in the doors

    Keefy Richard - Rolling Stones

    Gram Parson - The Byrds

    Ray Davies (a fine fine song writer observer of English Life (Village Green Preservation Society)- mentor of my beloved Paul Weller) - The Kinks

    Neil Young - Cowtown - dunno - Toronto was where he was born - Calgary has the Stampede (cowtown??)

    Don't know Bryan Connolly... Bryan Ferry?? Billy Connolly - I could google the Sweet 0 but that feels like cheating.

    Sorry AoB, not correct.

    edit:  Not sure what the "Dave" comment means, but not the right answer.

    Yep, Cowton's nickname was "Crazy Horse", which is also the name of Neil's longtime backing band.

    Thanks to all who contributed and I hope it was a bit of fun.

    I was desperately searching for a link from Cowton to Crazy Horse. I even read most of the Wiki article on the native American chief of the same name!

    Unfortunately Gary was a bit before my time. ?

    Thanks ds, it was very interesting.

    None whatsoever, LDVC!

    However, just to please WSW, you might like to find a link between these groups of footballers.  It's immaterial if you haven't heard of them before but they all played at the highest level.

    1.  Daniel Ward, Dan Butler and Richard Osborne.

    2.  Allan Joyce, Jono Rourke and Joseph Marr.

    3.  Alistair Lord, Bernie Evans and Sam Glover.

    4.  Greg Williams, Barry Young and Chris Scott.

    5.  Corey McKernan, Michael Barlow and Royce Hart.

    6.  Graham Wright, John Barrett and Terry Waters.

    ? I thought this WAS a google test. In 1997 when Search was the new big thing, we used to have those as a lunchtime game at work in Hong Kong. That was about the time my memory retired.

    • 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.
