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?!

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
