Demonstone's Final Flamin' Frivolous Frustrator

It's that time of the year again when there is not much happening football wise.  The Grand Final has been played (spoiler:  we won!), the Draft has taken place (spoiler:  we nailed it!) and the first cricket Test starts next week.

Time for a little distraction, then.  As the thread title suggests, this is the last of the footy related brainteasers in my arsenal (triumphant cries resound around Demonland) although I do have a cricket cryptic up my sleeve that I'll probably unleash in January.

Today's team consists of some champions past and present, some good ordinary players and, frankly, a couple of plodders. 

Your task, as always, is to deduce what factor they have in common.

You know the drill.  All answers to be sent to me in a PM and incorrect suggestions will be posted to thin the field of possibilities.

The prizes for this one are unique, but I can't tell you what they are just yet as that would give the answer away.

 

B:  Laurie Fowler   Darcy Moore   Dean Solomon

H/B:  Ken Hunter   Drew Petrie   John Barker

C:  Cameron Bruce   Dane Swan   Josh Kennedy

H/F:  Steve McPherson   Lance Franklin   Jordan Dawson

F:  Liam Ryan   Peter Wright   Russell Robertson

R:  John Nicholls   Tim Watson   Sam Mitchell

I/C:  Geoff Cunningham   Dennis Banks   Sam Reid   Jarryd Blair

COACH:  Checker Hughes

    Which Josh Kennedy - or doesn’t that matter?

    I had Josh Kennedy from Sydney Swans in mind, but it makes no difference.

    This is a fairly substantial clue.

    Our first incorrect answer is in, and I can confirm that they are not all the surnames of models (!).

    A couple more incorrect replies have been received.

    These players don't share a surname with musicians, nor are they varieties of animal (after all, that would be an all-Collingwood team).  :D

    Great thread title, DS. Love the alliteration. However, there’s an “F” word which you haven’t included, but one which would be very fitting. 😠

    I can also confirm that they are not names of politicians.

    Pfft. What id*iot suggested that?!

    Well, seeing as you said "please" ...

    People by now seem to have realised that the link pertains to the players' surnames.

    Further, the answer is not football related in any way.

    I'll be away from the computer until about 9.30pm and, if the teaser is still unsolved at that stage, another clue (this time in pictorial form) shall be forthcoming.

    Crikey!  I go away for an hour and the correct answers have flooded in.

    The common factor with these players is that their surnames are also the names of Federal Electorates.  (Sorry, WCW, you were in the right area but I didn't want to give the game away by revealing that!).

    First across the line was Tim, who is hereby appointed Prime Minister.  Congratulations, sir.

    A short half-head behind in second spot was Satan, who has earned the title of State Premier.  Kudos.

    In third place was mo64 who has been elected Mayor of his Municipality.  Well done.

    Honourable mentions also to Councillors La Dee-vina Comedia and #11-TonyAnderson.  

    You can now see why I couldn't reveal the prizes.

    And, in case what you were wondering what the cryptic pictorial clue was going to be, here it is anyway (a reference to Morrison).  I did consider boy band Hanson and Robert Palmer as well, which I am sure would have misled people into believing that the answer was music related.  :D

    Thanks to all who played or gave up in frustration.  I hope you all had some fun.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
