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.

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

    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.

    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?!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
