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.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
