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.

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


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!

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?

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.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
