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?

    Edited by leave it to deever

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
