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

Eight Demons. Who cares about the rest.

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.

The best opening line to a DL thread ever!

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!

I’m not above begging

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!

Thinking, thinking, thinking...

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?

Sorry, but no.  Or should I say ... ".on tub, yrroS".

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?

this is the first brain teaser I've seen

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

edit:  Replying to WCW!

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.
