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.  👍🏽

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
