Demonstone's Midweek Mystery

OK funlovers, it's that time of the week again.

Today, I have chosen a team (from the backline and in position) consisting solely of footballers who played for the mighty Demons.  The more eagle-eyed among you will have noted that they have all appeared on the Melbourne senior list since the year 2000.

What else do they have in common?

I suspect this one may go off early as it's fairly simple.  Then again, I already know the answer!  :D

B:  Nathan Brown   Steven May   Ryan Ferguson

H/B:  Brad Miller   Ben Holland   Joel Smith

C:  Jayden Hunt   Nathan Jones   Daniel Ward

H/F:  Brad Green   Jesse Hogan   Tom McDonald

F:  Russell Robertson   Mitch Clark   Luke Jackson

R:  Jeff White   Cameron Bruce   Daniel Nicholson

I/C:  James Cook   Jack Fitzpatrick   Steven Armstrong   Dean Kent

    daisycutter:  You would need to provide more information.

    Port Demons:  Brad was selected for reasons that will become clear once the quiz is solved.  I know he wasn't renowned for playing on the back flank, but I couldn't find a spot for him in that stellar forward line!

    Sadly, that goes without saying but it's not the answer I'm looking for.

    Clue #1:  In a twist that nobody saw coming (and apologies for my red herring reply to daisycutter's answer, but you should never assume anything), you will be delighted or horrified (delete inapplicable response) to learn that this week's quiz has absolutely nothing at all to do with music or bands.  Don't want to get too predictable!

    Firstly, how the fudge did Brad Miller get selected, and in the backline ?

    Don’t hang it on Brad Miller

    Not the most naturally gifted but he busted his [censored] for the MFC !
    Played around 150 games and is deserving of respect

    One has, but sadly not for us.

    They may well have all visited Surfers Paradise at some point, but no surfing connection that I'm aware of.

    Nobody has come remotely close at this point.

    Clue #2:  There is no football connection whatsoever.

    I'll leave this open overnight and provide a further clue in the morning if it's still unsolved.

    Please be warned that I have a another seven (7!!) of these brainteasers ready to trot out so that I may torment you each Wednesday right up to finals time, assuming I don't receive a Court injunction in the interim.

    Is it topical? to do with the Euros?. A nod to Anglo heritage? There’s no Neitz, no Schwarz, no Yze or Ingersons, No Kropenyiri’s or Jurrahs or Wonnamerri’s

    im stumped...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
