They are all towns or areas of Victoria?

Bingo!  The surnames of all the players are Victorian country towns or localities.

The red "clue" was indeed a red herring.  Sorry Hardtack!

The virtual prize is therefore shared between Cyclops and Mazer Rackham, who PMed me earlier but declined the temptation of hogging all the glory.

Ready for another one?

    Flabbergastation (flabber + gas station) is a word usually only heard in the USA and it refers to the sensation of scratching your head and thinking "WTF?" when you see something like this.

    Did you make this up yourself?

    What do these players have in common?

    All my own work, WCW.

    I had to think fast in order to mount a defence against my cold-blooded murdering of the English language.

    I think it might be 'frock'... it's like walking into a Collette Dinnigan store and the first thing that comes to mind is "frocking hell"!

    my response was ambiguous, ht, i could have meant in the biblical sense

    but if as you say it was only once i'm prepared to put it down to accidental rather than cultural appropriation

    ahhh... as in "go forth and multiply"; yes, in that sense I have definitely frocked up on more than one occasion.

    And .... we have a winner!  All players have the distinction of playing the most number of games for Melbourne wearing that particular jumper number.

    Congratulations Fanatique Demon.  Tres bon!

    Garlett may have misled a few but he is the only Melbourne player to ever wear number 67 in a game.

     

    More quizzes will be forthcoming, but only after a suitable interval.  Thanks for all the interest.

      The Demons hit the road for their last practice hit out before the start of the 2026 AFL Premiership season when they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
