Here we go ladies and germs, back for a short time only and by popular demand (Lucifer's Hero demanded it and she IS very popular), it's another timewaster.

For those who came in late, your challenge is to identify what the players in this team, who are named in position, have in common.  

If you think you know the solution, please send it to me in a PM so I can drag this out for as long as possible. 

Incorrect answers, other helpful information and clues (not guaranteed) will be posted as I see fit.

Prizes will awarded as follows:

First:  What Paddy shot at     mo64

Second:  Not a sausage         reynolds46

Third:  Bugger-all     3183 Dee

 

B:    Mark McVeigh     Robbie Tarrant     Nick Maxwell

H/B:  Phil Read     Peter Foster     Paul Wheatley

C:      Simon Atkins     Greg Williams     Paul Kelly

H/F:  Luke Parker     Oscar Allen     Farren Ray

F:      Liam Ryan     Barry Hall     Bailey Smith

R:      Mark Lee     Scott West     Nathan Jones

I/C:   Max Walker     Michael Barlow     Lewis Taylor     Chris Bond

Over 50 views and only one poster brave enough to have a go so far.

Alas for said intrepid Demonlander, the answer is not that they form double acts in showbiz.

Bravery has nothing to do with it. 
MAKE YOUR DARN PUZZLES EASIER!!!

Please 🙂

We have a winner!  Congratulation to mo64 who has snagged first prize.

Another suggestion can be eliminated - the answer has nothing to do with Western Australia.

Silver and bronze still up for grabs.

I’M BACKING MYSELF FOR SILVER!!!

* PMs Mo64 for the answer *

Well done to reynolds46 who has cracked it and therefore wins silver.

Doesn’t matter if first, second or third. The prize is the same.

Another clue, which could be fairly described as obscure.    :D

Tom Gillies.

I tell you I have nfi so you provide an obscure clue. And it’s obscure BY DESIGN. Cheers.

I'm sure you'll appreciate that this brainteaser was not compiled just for you.

With a medal still up for grabs, I'm not going to give the answer away just yet.

Yet it seems I’m the only one who can concentrate on little else. 
Just tell us the answer ffs

Please 😘
 

btw, where the hell is Luci?

3183 Dee has come up with the correct answer and takes home the bronze.

So we can all get some sleep tonight, I can reveal that all the players in my team share a surname with a well known criminal, both Australian and overseas.

Thanks for your interest and those who played.  It's been a busy night of PMs.

I'll put up my other teaser on Sunday afternoon when there is very little happening football wise.

LOL.  I was out and only just logged-on so missed the whole show.

Will confess, I wouldn't have got it even with the obscure clue!  Clearly real world crime/crims aren't my thing.

Well done to the medal winners. 

I look forward to ds's Sunday doozie...

Okay @Demonstone, now give us the crims they were representing, you brutish mastermind. Couple of bushrangers there, a US terrorist bomber, a British serial murderer couple, Eric Bana and Faye Dunaway, but the rest?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
