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: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
