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: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
