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...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
