Still, late changes needed to the team:

Out: Martin PIKE - found not to be following team rules (hope he has success elsewhere...); Shaun SMITH - only cos positionally I meant Joel SMITH. Either is a perfect team player.

In: Ben BROWN - straight out of uni; Joel SMITH - as above.

You have us all bamboozled, Timothy.  I think another clue may be in order!

Doesn't feel like there's many in 'us all', Mr D!

Still, for you at least, I point back to the title and that our Norm and his team would be simpatico.

I suspect you'll get it now, and feel free to post it directly here for due plaudits. I'm not getting a vibe of any competition!

Surely not!

Who might one coach be simpatico with?

And why would Martin Pike not be following team rules, though it sounded like he might?

And why would Ben Brown be straight out of 'Uni'? (that one might require a bit of research😉)

Does the solution have anything to do with vehicles, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew?

I'd say they all would have had one, Mr D, but no.

Now, no further coaching, for the time being...

Any chance of putting us out of our collective misery, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew?   

I don't think anybody's going to solve this one.

Looks like I'll have to do postgrad in the Demonstone School of Hinting!😄

Three mentions of COACH, including in the title, didn't do it for you?

They all share surnames with one of the 170-odd people who have coached VFL/AFL teams. Even Norm himself, whose brother and 3 other Smiths coached.

Maybe people aren't used to us having our answers so 'close to home' i.e. actually footy related?!🤷‍♂️

Somewhat of a hint was my correction of my misspelling, Don-like (Don-lyke?), of Martin Pike, who, when I realised, I had to drop for not following the team rule!

Then there was Ben Brown. You'd think the Browns would match the Smiths but there has been only one - Vic Brown, who coached University (where I had BBB 'straight out of') to a doughnuts season in 1913.

Thank you very much for that detailed information, Timothy.

As I suspected, some of those only coached one game as a stand-in, but qualify nevertheless.

Yeah, possibly a bit naughty of me, but I didn't even look at, let alone consider, games numbers.

The refinements continue...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
