    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.

    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.  👍🏽

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
