We haven't had one of these for a while.   Demonland posters:  "Praise the (John) Lord".

Today's team is of a reasonable standard, if a little light on for ruckmen. 

It features only seven current players and four ex-Demons.

What common factor unites them?

Answers to me in a PM only, thank you very much.

I reckon this is a pretty easy one, but I've already had a peek at the solution.

No medals today as they have already been won by Australians in Birmingham.

 

B:       Matthew Whelan     Bob Murray     Jake Kelly

H/B:  Dale Morris     Tom Stewart     Heath Black

C:       Scott Thompson     Tim Watson     Bailey Smith

F:       Liam Ryan     Peter Wright     Brent Harvey

R:       Brian Roberts     Leigh Matthews     Garry Wilson

I/C:    Adrian Gleeson     David Williams     Ted Hopkins     Michael Reynolds

First correct answer has been submitted by La Dee-vina Comedia.

Incorrect suggestions that may be eliminated are that all the players goaled with their first kick and the odd notion that there is a connection to footwear.  I can't think of a sole reason for the latter.

We have a second correct response, this time from reynolds46.

I believe that this is the first time a winner has shared their name with a member of the team in the teaser.

It appears that there has been little movement at the station.

Either it's too hard OR nobody cares OR it's too hard and nobody cares.

Hint #1:  There is a football connection.

  • Author

The hint has helped mo64 work out the common factor.

We have our first three placegetters but I'll leave it open for others to have a go.


Good work @Demonstone, nonetheless, maybe Demonlanders are channeling their aversion to Tuesday night televised games, onto you?

  • Author

That may well be the case, EO.

I've got a date with a doona, but I'll post the reveal tomorrow morning.  Will anybody else crack it?

Hint #2:  The solution relates to the players' surnames.

  • Author

Just the three Demonlanders clever enough to realise that ... drumroll ... all the players in my team share a surname with that of a Brownlow Medallist.  

B:       Marcus Whelan     Kevin Murray     Paul Kelly

H/B:  Bill Morris     Ian Stewart     Simon Black

C:       Len Thompson     Colin Watson     Bernie or Ross Smith

H/F:   John Schultz     Peter Moore     Nathan Buckley

F:       Denis Ryan     Roy Wright     Robert Harvey

R:       Neil Roberts     Herbie Matthews     Brian Wilson

I/C:    Brian Gleeson     Greg Williams     Allan Hopkins     Di ck Reynolds

OR, for some weird reason, it didn't come through to my feed until just now...

Well done you other smartypantses.

I may have gone the Brownlow route but totally blanked on Marcus Whelan as one 😐

Ha, ha. I was the same. When I messaged Demonstone, I said that I didn't think Marcus Whelan won a Brownlow.

  • Author

Marcus Whelan won his Brownlow in 1939.   

I believe that old dee may have been there.  :D

@Demonstone, two weeks between games so is it time for another brain teaser?

Special request:  give us some advance notice of when it goes up so I can make sure I get to see it.  TIA.

Seconded.

Thank you for the support.

I do have a couple up my sleeve and was planning on unleashing the first of those this week.

What are Demonlanders' preferences -  Tuesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon or Sunday afternoon?

A slight preference for a weekday, thank you.  But happy to go with what others would like, just a heads up on when it will appear is enough for me.

Let's say around 4pm on Thursday arvo then, at a time we're usually looking forward to team selection.   

I've come up with a particularly devious teaser and I look forward to baffling/exasperating all contributors.  :D

You do without even trying😃

Well played @Lucifers Hero, and welcomed response @Demonstone. I hope it is particularly particularly devious as I'll be otherwise engaged at 4 on Thursday and will be hoping at least Bronze is still available by the time I can get to it!

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
