    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.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
