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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • 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.
