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

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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
