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!

I’m with you D. As if that clue makes it any clearer for us common folks!

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...

It's the red that unleashes these in the first place, FD. You might reach enlightenment yet?

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.

Nicely done, Timothy! 

Could you possibly list the coaches you've based this on?  Did they all coach senior teams?

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...

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
