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!

If I walked in to your house - these would all be band members of some of your favourite bands in your cd collection?

Erm.... really briefly

Steven (Brian) May - Queen

Brad (Steve) Miller - Steve Miller Band

Ben (Dexter) Holland - The Offspring

Brad (Pete) Green - Fleetwood Mac

Russell (Robbie) Robertson - The Band

Erm.... cant get  any others...

Oh... your post just came through... shame about the lack of music references...

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 

They are surfers

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: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
