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

    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.

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

    Not an Indigenous connection.

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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
