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.

    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.

  • Quote

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

    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?

    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: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
