This is killing me!

I really want to know the answer.

???something to do with their first games? Or first season.

??something about Finals?

I don't think it's to do with their numbers.

Perhaps their playing positions??

AAARGH!!!  I can't bear it....but I'll keep thinking!

 

 
 

Another weird one thrown up by this highly unusual and basically uncrackable conundrum ... Neil Balme could qualify as the coach of this side, but only while he was still playing for Richmond!

Maybe not, but if you can work out the solution I'll be pleased to hear a better candidate who qualifies.

I think the eligible Greg Sizer played his whole career on the wing?

Got it!  they all played at least one game for Melbourne

Well, that didn't last long!...

@old55, can we have some clues that aren't just more names, please, please, please? Or better still, how about THE ANSWER!

From your earlier response to me, I take it from @Demonstone's and @Bombay Airconditioning's applause that it's got something to do with flags and possibly numbers, but that it is 'a topic of interest to (you)' I can't tally with those aspects, and that 'fact' is totally wasted on me anyway!

Oh well, perhaps I step away again. Longer this time.

Unless I get a PM from you in the meantime...

I did have some help from @old55 in the form of a clue. I found once I wrote it out I was able to solve it.

You're very close Tim, just put those two together. I've always been interested in jumper numbers.

What's the link in my Demon team listed below?

Clue #1: It's based on a topic of interest to me, evident in my Demonland posting over the years.

B: Neville Jetta, Tony Campbell, Peter Rohde
HB: Steven Febey, Nathan Carroll, Ian Thorogood
C: Graham Molloy, Don Cordner (c), Daniel Bell
HF: Liam Jurrah, Greg Parke, Brent Grgic
F: Luke Williams, Sam Weideman, Darren Cuthbertson
R: Mark Jamar, Jack Furniss, Jay Viney
I: Jack Fitzpatrick, Brian Leahy, Cam Pedersen, Mitch White

Answers via PM please ...

Incredible midfield division - Mark Jamar supported by Don Cordner and Furniss who I'm pretty sure were both ruckmen, with Jay Viney one of the least adroit players in my supporting memory as the crumber.

The team does lack a bit of depth. I expect that will be fixed in time. But there are some very successful AFL clubs that would struggle to field a team at all.

No need for this to wait 'til tomorrow...

Here's a weird thing. I reckon Petracca was in this team before he did his knee playing with a skateboard.

This is the clue that completely throws me, just when I thought I was getting close. How can a player be in the team at one point, and then not.

I dont know the answer to the quiz it self.  But it refers to his original guernsey number.


Would our wonderful theme song (particularly the second verse) provide some appropriate think music?

Surely Andrew Dale is the most prestigious.

You've clearly got it @mo64 and yes Andrew Dale does hold a special place!

Yeah, alright @old55...

Brent Heaver, early on, was just too early for the start of something big, while, ironically, Paul Earley found himself in the thick of it!

And how stiff was Michael Howard?!

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
