They're not very difficult. I didn't want anyone still concentrating on cracking them while the game is on tomorrow nite.

No idea but Robbie flower was definitely good enough to make 2 of the teams.... JKH on the other hand also made 2 🙃

Don’t need it. Worked it out myself. Didn’t I, Maze? 😉

All Melbourne teams should have a Robbie Flower in them, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Sure. Just gimme a sec.

Quarter time scores. Team 1 has been solved. Every players has double letters in their name. In fact, they all have TWO double letters in their name but I wasn't clever enough to work out a away to make that the true answer, with single double letters not getting over the line.

Jjrogan, mo64, radar, LDVC and Lucifer all got it, with a special mention to Lucifer who was the only to explicitly describe how R. Robertson could be in a team of "doubles". And an extra special mention to Civil, who deliberately laid off the pace to give everyone else a chance.

 

Team 2 we have a clubhouse leader. Team 3 we've had some early attempts, but are they correct? The fullness of time will tell.

This thread needs to be promoted, to give us something to do in the (too) long break between Rounds 1 and 2.

And to make it interesting, here's a team made up entirely of Melbourne players, past and present. Everyone is in exactly the right position, even though some never played that role in their life. What am I looking for?

FB: May  Elshaugh  Lord

HB: Bourke  Osborne  Usher

C: Richards  Neal-Bullen Emselle

HF: Dixon  Elliott  McDonald

FF: Oliver  Neitz  Schwarz 

R: Petracca  Robertson  Eishold

I/C: Mann  Ingerson  Ellingworth  Ridley

Sub: Salem

(It's another team without the great Robbie Flower - but there is just no position for him in this team.)


My PM to Mazer wouldn't send for some reason (he's blocked me?  :blink:),  but I think Team 2 is based on the jumper numbers making up the formula for Pi (3.141592 etc). 

I've posted this publicly because at least one other Demonlander had already solved it.

Noooo! I just saw this. Can I pm you?

If this is correct, it would have been most appropriate of Mazer to post this quiz on Monday, which of course was "Pi Day" being 14th of March, or 3.14 in American terms.

Look at you! You’re M.I.A. for a few days then you just waltz on in and do your usual thing of boss-level ownage. 
And yes, I know ownage isn’t a real word, except it is now coz you. 🤨

Some of your puns are indeed block-worthy but I have put no block on you so I can only attribute it to A.I. getting better and better.

Who's the D'lander who "solved" it?

The "clubhouse leader" you referred to.  You'll have to tell us who it was.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
