Demonstone's Discombobulator

[Demonstone 21,764]

Time for another clue, which will either enlighten you or frustrate you even further.

To the team already published above, you may add a coach in Leon Cameron, plus three emergencies in Wayne Carey, Greg Williams and Jeff White.   

Does this help or hinder?

Hinder. I vote hinder.

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're gary lyon?

i should have guessed

I'm seeing authors, of a certain genre possibly?

[Demonstone 21,764]

Nothing to do with authors I'm afraid.

I'm off to have an earlyish night in the sack and will check in the morning to see if anybody has solved it.

Could this be the first ever brainteaser to confound the combined brilliance of Demonland minds?

[WalkingCivilWar 39,256]

I officially give up. But not for want of trying. I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time looking at those names to the point that I can almost reel them off by memory.

What's the 'DRUM', Demonstone? ?

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 4,777]

Or should I say, 'Watts the...'?

none of them has been seen in the same room as lord lucan?

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. 

How did I pot a fellow poster?  That implies I potted him personally. So please show me where I did that. I await that. You're the only one who made it personal.

Drum roll ..... Boomtish!   

Gold medal to Timothy, Silver to Mazer Rackham (via PM) and Bronze to Hardtack.

The coach is Matt Cameron and the emergencies Danny Carey, Tony Williams and Meg White.

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.

This was a reference to @JimmyGadson whose current and past username (Steve Jordan) are both drummers.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,644]

Wow. Impressive by Demonstone and those who solved it.

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 4,777]

Showing my age, Buddy Rich was the first to Count, followed by the dollop of Cream, then that demon Stone...

No Gadds, Purdies or Porcaros on AFL lists let alone a Modeliste...

Sir demonstone, if I may, here's another MFC 22 to keep things going. From a squad of only 33, I was forced to make one wicked selection, I'm afraid.

Ron Barassi, Matthew Bate, Ben Beames, Barry Bourke, Phil Carman, Don Cordner, Kevin Dyson, Brian Dixon, Steve Febey, Brad Green, Rod Grinter, Greg Healy, Peter Keenan, John Lord, Graham Molloy, Ian Ridley, Billy Stretch, Jim Stynes, Sammy Weideman, Brian Wilson, Jack Viney, Adem Yze

 

[Demonstone 21,764]

Apart from Dyson and Dixon, they are all in alphabetical order by surname.

[DeeZone 8,952]

And Viney .!!

[Guest]

With @demonstone's emergence as puzzle maker extraordinaire coming to the forefront, I suggest he take over @The Riddler's position in putting forward cryptic clues as to who we will be trading for come the off season.☝️

Or perhaps he was the Riddler to start with?!!! ?

[In Harmes Way 7,700]

I thought it was position they were taken in the draft - until I got to Trevor Barker.

D'oh! and double-D'oh! Alphabetical order was intended, though not relevant to the answer, I'm afraid, folks.

Have a look at my first sentence, and think about what group might be as exclusive as only 33 strong. And a half hint: my wicked selection is my last.

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 4,777]

I have received Master Rackham's correct answer and the Gold is on its way to him! Everyone else seems to be stumped! Silver and Bronze still up for grabs!

Ooooh, song lyrics. As per trade week:

"Even if you've got Daniel Rich, a trade for Young and Hart is much better by far."

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 4,777]

Ron Barassi, Matthew Bate, Ben Beames, Barry Bourke, Phil Carman, Don Cordner, Brian Dixon, Kevin Dyson, Steve Febey, Brad Green, Rod Grinter, Greg Healy, Peter Keenan, John Lord, Graham Molloy, Ian Ridley, Billy Stretch, Jim Stynes, Jack Viney, Sammy Weideman, Brian Wilson, Adem Yze...

So, as I've said, everyone (except gold medallist Mazer) seems to be stumped! Mazer said it was hard, so sorry, everyone if it's too hard?! Are you thinking there might be a catch? Try thinking of the slips by them...
