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

Indeed it was EO!

I’m putting my 20 cent piece on the edge of the billiard table, so to speak. I have a team lined up. 
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: 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?
