Demonstone's Penultimate Pesky Perplexing Poser

[Demonstone 19,084]

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?

Please confine your answers to PM only to give more posters a chance to participate.  Incorrect suggestions will be posted to narrow the field of possibilities.

Reading the thread title i thought this would be about Dr Who

A poster has suggested that they are all right foot kicks. 

While this may be the case, it's not the answer I'm looking for.

Maybe another clue is needed or people might take their bat and ball and go home!

Straight and to point as always D.

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.
