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.

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...

    PREGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons head back on the road for their fifth interstate trip this season when they head up to Brisbane to take on the Lions under lights on Friday night at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Alex Neal-Bullen, Steven May, & Jack Viney make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Kangaroos. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
