A team of olden dayes Demons with a few current players thrown in.

What links these players, etc ...

(Answers in PMs in case that needs to be stated.)

B: C. Salem S. May A. Yze
HB: R. Ellingworth G. Hardeman S. Newport
C: J. Toumpas C. Sylvia S. Armstrong
HTF: J. Garlett K. Templeton C. Nettlebeck
F: D. Kowal J. Lewis C. Spargo
Foll: S. O'Dwyer P. Rohde S. Eishold
Int: C. Dawes J. Smith B. Holland B. Dixon

 

All of them ate  Vegemite for breakfast?

 

For some reason I'm not able to send you (Mazer) a message. The system tells me that you're not accepting messages. Either that's a cunning ploy to extend the quiz or we're never going to be able to resolve this quiz in the usual way.

I have the answer, by the way. As evidence, you could have included this very short forward line of A. Maric V. Cattoggio R. Owen 


Just tried to send my PM and it's telling me that Mazer Rackham can't receive messages.

Like @La Dee-vina Comedia, I am confident I know the answer and would proffer R. Grinter, R. Richards and N. Smith as another example.

Elon Musk has not been able to solve the quiz and is using his internet robots to prevent messages to me. That's the most likely explanation. Either that or (long shot) something has gone wrong with the d'land site.

 

Two correct answers so far.

Another hint ... it is frustrating not being able to solve this one. Please, now that you have a couple of correct solutions.


Mazer (rat!), this solution near ruined dinner. Really, you upset the eating. Get thee elsewhere!

There is a hint in the first post. "What links these players".

Also the forward lines proposed by LdVC, demonstone and tilly18 comply.

Why would good old Vinnie Cattoggio be given a key position, surrounded by guys with names like Maric and Owen?

TRnB provided an entire compliant sentence.


@Demonstone, @Mazer Rackham, @Lucifers Hero, @La Dee-vina Comedia, @layzie, @tilly18, @Deemania since 56, @Ethan Tremblay, @mo64, @Neil Crompton, @reynolds46, and a few others from previous quizzes who I can't immediately bring to mind:

Actually, not such a bad participant list, that (maybe we're not as far as I thought from putting together a 'What links this group' team of our own?!) but what could we do to attract more players?

Cash prizes? Or liquid ones? (quality of course, Sir@Bitter but optimistic and your more retiring 'Lander comesting fraternity)

!!!!!! As if The Manor's wine cellar would contain anything as vulgar as " comesting" quality!

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
