In response to @george_on_the_outer mentioning my quizzes in today's training thread, here is an additional one.

You thought I'd run out of ideas to torment you with, didn't you?   

On the plus side, this is the penultimate teaser in my arsenal.

As usual, your challenge is to work out how I came up with this team. 

You will notice that it is a very strong side indeed, consisting solely of past and present Demons.

In response to pleas for leniency, I would rate this one as reasonably simple.

Answers in a PM if you please!

 

B:        James Frawley     Steven May     Alan Johnson

H/B:    Jake Lever     David Neitz     Jake Bowey

C:        Robert Flower     Greg Wells     Adem Yze

H/F:    Christian Petracca     David Schwarz     Angus Brayshaw

F:        Max Gawn     Allen Jakovich     Russell Robertson

R:        Jeff White     Nathan Jones     Kozzy Pickett

I/C:    Bayley Fritsch     Jack Viney     Todd Viney     Ben Brown

Congratulations to @Jjrogan for being the first to solve today's mystery.

For everybody else ... Clue #1:  Troy Simmonds and Phil Baker would approve of this team.

It's a talented team that would also love to eat out together, I'm sure.  

However, they'd avoid places like Entrecote. 

You'd be more likely to find them enjoying some delicious dim sum at a local yum cha.

That now makes a total of FIVE hints!  Not all have been flagged as such, however.

I'm surprised that there have only been two correct replies so far.

This teaser appears to have made people feel even number than usual.

See you all in the morning.  :D

Well done to @tilly18 and @youami and @Jumping Jack Clennett for identifying the answer.

I'll leave it open for a while longer in case others are looking for a way to kill some time on this Public Holiday.

If you read the OP carefully, you'll find a couple of hints seeded therein.  Also note that I didn't claim that these players all have something in common, unlike most of my previous teasers.

Who else can put two and two together and solve the puzzle?

James Frawley maybe late to the dinner. Just sayin....

Now that's a cryptic comment, David!  He wouldn't want to be next to May, perhaps?

We can add @Allus Monk to the list of those who have worked it out.

Below is the final clue.  My cunning plan is for the solution to be revealed later this morning.

Not if you posted it on an old PM, Tim.  I delete those as a matter of course.

PS:  @Dee Zephyr has cracked the code, as I suspect @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has also done.

I did, cos of that messaging problem I had.

I'll try again, and I, too, suspect. In the end it certainly wasn't rocket science (although, curiously, very fundamental to it!)

Time to put you all out of your misery.  

The team has been selected on the basis that the jumper numbers of the first two players on each line add up to the jumper number of the third player.  eg Frawley (8) plus May (1) equals Johnson (9).

I have made numerous allusions to this throughout the thread, with hints such as ADDITIONAL, PLUS, SUMMER, (dim) SUM, NUMBER,  PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER, ADD UP and CALCULATED.

The photo clue is BlackADDER.

Simmonds and Baker were both nicknamed "Snake".  A type of snake is the ADDER.

Well done to all those who were able to FIGURE it out.

I give in... The answer is driving me nuts..  Help me before I go insane.... I reckon the answer is that they all played for Melbourne but I maybe wrong...

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
