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...

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
