Thanks dc for all the work put into the teasers.

You have provided a nice distraction, entertainment and much head scratching during the finals.

    iirc, dc has given the 'denim' medal for such occurrences.

    ... is the correct answer!

    Only joking.  I've had one late entry suggesting it was based on their draft number, but that's not it.

    The quirky thing that all these players share is that, incredibly,  they all had at least one game where they recorded no disposals.  In some cases this was because they sustained an early injury or got knocked out and were unable to continue to play.

    My source for this scarcely believable statistic is the excellent and unimpeachable site Demonwiki, which has a section titled "Lists" that is a most informative and entertaining read.

    The inclusion of the great Robbie Flower in this side was guaranteed to cause confusion.

    Gold medal (again) to Mazer Rackham who did provide hints in his responses and silver to Lucifer's Hero.  

    Well done them.  It was, as promised, a very difficult brainteaser.

    Wow. Hats off to those who knew that.

    You did point out the post that included the word nothing was close.

    Tx.

    Extra points for outing the players who played the whole game and were not injured?

    One thing I noticed in this strainium was that Robbie actually had TWO games of no disposals, and in one of them, he kicked two goals!

    (according to afltables)

    As DS said, was there nothing he couldn't do?

    According to AFL Tables no one had any disposals in that match, with presumably all 14 of our goals soccered off the ground.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
