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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
