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?!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
