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!

 

Perhaps they all tried tunnel-ball (like Jack F!??!!)

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

Why the phuuukkkk is Pedo on the bench again?

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.

@Roger Melliehas it!

Yes true and I'd take that career - and you clearly have the solution too @Witches Hat

The cups have runneth over with the number of clues and responses.

http://demonwiki.org/Home is your best friend.

I'll provide the solution tomorrow.

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...

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.

@Allus Monk has it!

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?!
