One 'hint' I must give you all, having just realised it, is there is a coincidence between one player's qualification for Brian's team and the grand final he played in!

Simmonds.  The MM (2000) was the year he played in a GF.

Thanks @Timothy Reddan-A'Blewthat was quite a challenge.  I was lucky I fluked the 'Roman Numerals' connection early in the game.   Once I knew the answer it was amazing how many clues I had missed in your posts.

Very clever, 'Tim'.  Thanks for your work!👏

Could somebody explain @Nascent's Stanley Bruce reference for dummies like me who still can't grasp the connection?

Me too. 

@NascentI didn't get the connection nor the joke...🤔  Would love to know what 'Stanley Bruce' meant...

PM sent.  It's taken me a number of tries to figure it out and, if my reasoning doesn't add up, I'll be LIVID.

You missed my earlier reply to Demonstone, Luci. From my original post: 'PMs only, please'

I was attempting to be a smart alec by taking "PMs only" as Prime Ministers only and completely disregarded the selected team.

@Timothy Reddan-A'Blew was impressively quick on the uptake.

Stanley Melbourne Bruce was also PM during our 2nd flag in 1926.

...prior to which, according to his birth certificate, he was Stanley St Kilda Bruce. One of the more prescient uses of Deed Poll.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
