@Timothy Reddan-A'Blew - was the 33 indicative of how many keepers there have been for Australia? 

Indeed it was EO!

Watch this space!

Sir demonstone, you have created a very enjoyable monster!

I could clearly see that it was divisible by 11 or 3 but was stuck on looking at it as a singular team reference to cricket... 

All current players. What links them?

Backs:

Jake Lever   Stephen May   Zach Tuohy 

Christian Salem  Jarryn Geary   Caleb Daniel

Mids:

James Harmes   Max Gawn    Bailey Dale

Quinton Narkle    Dion Prestia   Jack Viney

Forwards:

Majak Daw   Jeremy Cameron   Rory Lobb

Joe Daniher   Tim English    Toby Greene

Interchange:

(from) Paddy Ryder   Dom Sheed   Shaun Higgins   Brandon Ellis   Sydney Stack  Taylor Garner   Ollie Wines

Coach: Brett Ratten 

Incidentally, this team has two things in common with this year’s AA team: (1) there’s AT LEAST seven Dees ?  and (2) it’s an on-paper team only. Ie, they’re never gonna play as a team. 
This is NOT a clue. I only mentioned it as I suspect there’ll be some posters, not mentioning names, who will be only too happy to get all up in my grill about positioning.

It's nice to have others putting up their puzzles as it gives me a chance to play.

You should be warned that I still have another ten or so of my mindbenders in the bank!

Demonstone's positioning was masterful. I copped out by just listing. Brave play WCW.

10?! I struggled to put ONE together!

Your one is good 'un, WCW.  Quality over quantity I reckon!

There's a hint of PM-ed success there, 'stone!?

I like the PM-ing approach, as Mazer took with mine. Corollary house rule, then: the puzzler will notify us when they have correct weight/s (also means the agonising hinting ain't far away, too!?)

Is there any footy on this weekend?...

I hadn't cracked it when I posted that, but I think I may have just found the answer and have sent a PM.

Seeing as I was wrong, I can share my incorrect answer and prevent anybody else falling for the same trap.

I thought all the players had at some stage suffered either a knee reco, a broken leg or a serious leg injury.

Looks like I haven't got a leg to stand on!

I feel like a request for a clue is in the offing. I do hope it’s @Demonstone who makes the request because I am looking forward to giving him the answer he once gave me when I requested a clue. Cbf searching for his response, but I don’t need to as it’s permanently etched in my memory. Just as one always involuntarily commits to memory  anything that makes one want to throttle the person who said it. 
His answer:

“Short answer: No!

Long answer: Noooooooooo!”

Get where I’m coming from? ?

I'll save you, demonstone!

WCW - Can you confirm it's nothing to do with a) the individuals' football careers or b) football in general (I guess that's a request for 2 clues...) i.e. it's of the drummer/wicketkeeper - or some other? - category.

Yes, it has nothing to do with football. 
Or wicketkeepers. Or drummers. ?

I clued in my opening sentence. Have you clued anywhere yet?

Meanwhile, 'on-purpose' footy reference: In the absence of Demon Army and MCC members, Dees by only 4 goals tomorrow.

They are linked by the fact that none of them have anything in common… at all… in any way… nada… nothing

My opener was “all current players. What links them?”

If you can get a clue outta that you’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din. 
The above isn’t a clue. But this is…

Rory Laird was a late withdrawal; although he technically warrants a place in this squad, he was deemed too obscure. He was replaced by Quinton Narkle who fits into this side, albeit to a lesser degree than his teammates.

The time has passed for PMs which means I can now make a fool of myself in public.

Could it be that they all share first names that sound like the first names of basketballers?

If it is, can I claim Tin? I'd just decided to go down the Majak>Magic inquiry line when your post pinged in, d.

Football: Nice to see Vanders get another go. Hope he can cement a spot (and monster a few of the Hawk newbies!)

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
