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

    On the assumption @Mazer Rackhamgets the overall prize for most 'gold' and 'silver' medals, well done MR!

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
