OK, listen up you freaks and listen good. 

The past couple of brainteasers have obviously been too easy which has led to the totally unacceptable outcome of people solving them in short time.

This clearly cannot continue to go on in the same manner, so I have attempted to make this week's teaser more challenging.

Here is a team consisting of current AFL players, all of whom should be familiar to you.

What is the connection?

B:   Nick Coffield    Dylan Grimes    Isaac Quaynor

H/B:   Kyle Langford    Dan Houston    Zac Williams

C:   Lachie Hunter    Andrew Brayshaw    Rory Sloane

H/F:   Michael Walters    Mitch McGovern    Nakia Cockatoo

F:   Taylor Walker    Darcy Cameron    Dayne Zorko

R:   Rory Thompson    Jarrod Lyons    Sam Walsh

I/C:   Eddie Betts    Chad Wingard    Dyson Heppell    Mitch Duncan

 

Easy. Numbers 1 to 22.

So much for being more challenging, then!

Well spotted Clintosaurus; I thought this one might take some time to solve.

Seeing as it's gone off so quickly, here's another one I prepared earlier.

As usual, I'm looking for what the players in this team have in common.

B:  Hayden Young   Ben Hart   Daniel Rich

H/B:  Matthew Collins   Trevor Barker   Darcy Tucker

C:  Scott Thompson   Nathan Jones   Oskar Baker

H/F:  Dale Thomas   Jack Watts   Stephen Powell

F:   Charlie Cameron   Michael Roach   Shaun Smith

R:  Mark Lee   Nathan Burke   Sam Mitchell

I/C:  Daniel Ward   Nick Blakey   Lewis Taylor   Brodie Holland

 

Is there a prominent Welsh poet on the Half Forward line @demonstone?

 

*edit also a british/welsh politician on the half forward line.

 

** ok two lines of enquiry.

Nationality and Literature.

Neither Wales, poetry nor politics involved.

Sorry Swollen Shallot, neither of these are close to the answer.

As a minuscule clue, there is one particular Demonlander (who I can't recall participating in these teasers) who would instantly identify the common factor.

 

the only other topic I have would be Indigenous Australians?

I’m so sh*t at these. How about a majuscule clue?

Please. Pretty please!

Not an Indigenous connection.

Majuscule clue:  Nothing to do with football or guernsey numbers.

I'm skeptical. I don't reckon there's any connection unless it's to do with the spelling of names or something.

I'm intrigued that you nonetheless have them all playing in their notionally correct positions!

There's a connection alright.  Only one of us would try to troll Demonland. 

I'll leave this open until somebody inevitably works it out.

Funny how it goes.  I thought the initial quiz was difficult (lasted three nanoseconds) and this one much easier.

Backward names?

Are you really skeptical? Or do you just phrase things from a negative perspective as a rule of thumb? 
 

can you seriously imagine someone, having run 4/5 other brain teasers suddenly presenting one and saying there is a connection when there isn’t, just to have a laff?

A red herring, perhaps?

No scarlet sardines were harmed in the making of this team.

You picked a great one to start with. This one’s a doozy !

Agreed Onion. You just come across as such a sad miserable [censored] Dr. D. Keep up the good work Demonstone, and go Dees!!

I give up. :) I've ruled out jumper numbers, spelling of names, tattoos, helmet wearers and hair colour.

A little aggressive I would've thought. Pretty content actually :) I just perceive most posters as fanciful. It's like if you go and read another clubs forum. Half the stuff you read makes you laugh at how biased it is. I'm very even-keeled and am completely impartial. Maybe being slightly more critical than most, aka the way Gary Lyon sees Melbourne.

You are not impartial, and you simply took a chance to pot a fellow poster who is just having a bit of fun and filling in the gaps between games.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
