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?

    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.

    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.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
