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.

    The Neil Young connection isn't Cowtown, but well played EO.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
