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?!

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
