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?  :D

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?

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?


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? ?

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

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.

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

 

And Viney .!!

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?!!! ?


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

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

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.

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."

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...

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
