Demonstone's Tiresome & Torturous Tuesday Timewaster

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

H/F:   Lachie Schultz     Darcy Moore     Jim Buckley

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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    @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.

    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!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
