    Any other attempts to overtake the clubhouse leader on Team 2 before the Big Reveal?

     

    Or any late runs on Team 3? Remember there's a prize.

    The difference between your excellent team and mine is that yours makes sense at any time; mine only since late September last year. 

    And that's a hint for anyone still interested.

    @Mazer Rackhamand @La Dee-vina Comediacan we have the answers please?

    You’ll kick yourself when you see the answers, Luci. You’ll wonder why you didn’t see it immediately.

    Have been away since Wednesday so tbh I haven't tried to solve them.  I was surprised to open this thread this morning and not see the answers posted so now I'm just curious.

    Not sure why the lads are just dragging it out...

    The Grand Reveal.

    Team 2: the players' numbers form the digits of pi (3.1459 etc) . The "clubhouse leader" was ET the Extra West-rial but it turned out his contribution "easy as", which should have been the big giveaway, was a coincidence and he didn't actually know the answer.

    The first one to get it was (drum roll) demonstone. The puzzle was a copy of one that LDVC did last year. I was seeing who was paying attention.

    Team 3: the number of letters in the players' names form a sequence. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, then through again. The interchange were 13, 14, 15. Cracked by Jjrogan, mo64 and WCW.

    Hearty congratulations to the winners and everyone who participated.

    We'll just have to take your word for it as I've not received a PM with the correct answer...which is the first letter of each surname spells out "Melbourne Demons Premiers"

    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.

    MMMMM PIE.

    Indeed. I didn’t submit an entry LDC. I didn’t read the complete thread. Just assumed it had been worked out

    A bit of trivia discovered when preparing the Brainteaser.

    In our entire history we have only had one player whose surname started with the letter U. Ray Usher played 82 games and kicked 2 goals in his career which was in the period 1928 to 1933.

    source: demonwiki.org/players

    This reminds me… @DemonlandAndy, you once posted a list of VFL/AFL players whose first names and surnames are unique. Adem Yze being one of the them. I’ve tried finding it but to no avail. If poss, can you please post that list again?

     I’m thinking Taj Woewodin would now be added, unless there’s been another player with the first name of Taj. 🤔

    If you mean both first name and surname are unique, I have a feeling Taj Woewodin won't be on the list. And not because of his first name.

    OMG, what was I thinking?! When I first saw the list, about a year ago, I thought Shane would be on this list for sure had he not been given such a common first name.
    Ok, senior moment. We’re all entitled to such on the odd occasion. 😁

    I’d still love to see that list, though.  (Please 🙂)

    I have no recollection of that. I might have reposted a tweet from someone on Twitter but I'm afraid without undergoing a session of hypnosis to retrieve that memory that information is as good as lost.

    No worries. I actually screenshot it at the time but must’ve accidentally deleted it since. All good.  👍🏽

    • 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.
