As the thread title suggests, this is the second-last in an overlong series of football related brainteasers. 

After lobbying the owners of this site, they have agreed that not only is it not compulsory to play along, but you don't even have to read any further if you so wish.  What a time to be alive!!

I would rate today's as being of medium difficulty but the final one that will be posted on Wednesday afternoon is extremely challenging.

In keeping with this being the week of the Demon, all the players in this team ran out for Melbourne.  What else do they have in common?

We now have enough correct responses to close this one down.

The answer is that all the players in this team share a surname with Australian Test cricketers.

Gold Medal:  Lucifer's Hero   Silver:  Timothy Reddan-A'Blew    Bronze:  Taipei Demon

Not even an honourable mention?........

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
