Demonstone has been doing the heavy lifting producing entertaining puzzles. Here's one I prepared earlier.

What links all these Melbourne players?

FB 3. Christian Salem 14 Lynden Dunn 15 Paul Hopgood

HB 9  Alan Johnson 26 Glenn McLean 5 Neil Crompton

C 35 Luke Tapscott 8 Glenn Elliott 9 Brian Dixon

HF 7 Jamie Bennell 9 David Neitz 32 Barry Vagg

FF 38 Jeremy Howe 4 Norm Smith 6 Luke Jackson

R 26 John Meesen 43 Guy Rigoni 3 Henry Coles

IC 8 Tassie Johnson 32 Cameron Bruce 7 Brian Wilson 9 Jack Trengove

Medisub 50 Ben Brown

Emerg 28 Ted Cordner 8 Graeme Yeats 41 Peter Rohde

Mazer has solved the conundrum. He's also identified the clue in the subject heading.

I should add that his answer was in a PM, not above.

Is it just me, or should it be 16 Travis Johnstone in the back pocket?

As you would know, Travis Johnstone could play in the back pocket replacing Paul Hopgood, but only if you selected the Fullback line and no others.


Mazer always solves them. 🙄 

You’ve included each player’s guernsey number. Is there anything in that?

It’s Barrie Vagg, not Barry BTW

Thanks for the correction. Thankfully, it makes no difference to the puzzle.

Demonstone has also PM'd me with the correct answer. I don't know if Mazer and Demonstone have been communicating with each other. Perhaps the 2 of them live within a 5km radius. (There's a clue in that final sentence, by the way).

One more clue. The punctuation in the team sheet is deliberate. Definitely on point.

The only significant thing I can see re the punctuation is that Salem’s number is the only one that is followed by a full stop (period). 


There’s math involved, right?

FMD - two people have it - just spill the gawd.damn.beans :p

There may be some people who would like a bit more time, so I'll post the answer sometime tomorrow.

By the way, there are now at least 8 different clues in this thread, and counting.  

Just worked it out. Thanks to Mazer for the clues.

Removed my clue. Made it too easy.

Collingwood factors in somehow?

A stereotypical Collingwood supporter would arguably be the least likely to understand the answer. And when told, might wonder why 4 and 20 weren't the only numbers used.   

As in four n twenty pies, right?

Yeah nah, I’m all the more confused. 
I’ll tune in tomoz for the solution.

You won't believe how close you are!

Well Magner isn't there so it can't be that they all helped build East Link

yeah that's my contribution to the thread. my brain stopped working 4 lockdowns ago

Typed Wagner, not Magner proving my second point

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
