    In all honesty, I stumbled onto the answer. It was one of Demonstone’s clues alone that did the trick. I never would’ve got it just by the players’ names. Even now I can’t see why certain names are there.

    Less confused now? Probs more confused, amirite?

    It will all make sense when the solution is revealed in full.

    1. And Tilly and Mazer didn't?!

    2. As you can see, yes.

    Without giving too much away, DS: I’m not entirely knowledgeable about the thing that links these players. One of your clues alone is what prompted me to have not so much a stab in the dark; rather, a stab in the half-light.

    edit: @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew, there’s no clue in the above. But gimme a little time, and with Demonstone’s permission, I’ll come up with one.

    @Allus Monk has identified the key, but is still looking for the correct lock.

    I'll be away from Demonland until lunchtime and shall reveal the answer then (probably).

    I would rather that others not provide their own clues, but I can't stop them doing that.

    Don't forget that I have no more of these teasers up my sleeve, so this may be the last time you can participate.

    After submitting 2 wrong answers, I'm gun shy from having another crack at this one.

    But would Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh and Evelyn Waugh be a suitable line for this quiz?

    Demonstone says he’d prefer we don’t give clues. But I’m sure it’s ok for me to say no, those names wouldn’t be suitable.

    PS: not gonna lie, hella proud that I solved one of DS’s quizzes before you, Mo. 😘

    No room for Auberon Waugh? (That's not in any way a clue. At least, it's not intended to be one. I have no idea of the connection.)

    I was going that 'geopolitical' path (as represented by the twins), too - through some PM-ing, I now at least feel like I'm dealing with a few less 'locks', but I can't find my keys anywhere!

    Meanwhile, paradoxically, as readers may have been hearing in my posts, it has been a case of 'This means Waugh!'

    I need more time. I might have to screenshot the team and the clues then not revisit the thread until I too have cracked it.

    OK, fair enough, BA; that's one of the (lesser!) strategic options I was foolishly considering as an alternative to craven surrender. @Demonstone, please note: BA and I would like more time...

     

    ...and another clue?

    I can confirm that the team has nothing to do with matters Waugh.

    @reynolds46 has supplied the correct answer, but no other responses to date.

    By popular demand, I'll leave this open.

    Another clue, you say?  In addition to the one I slipped in this morning?

    OK.  Demonstone.

    Hey DS, idk if you’ve read the entire thread but I took the liberty of slipping in a little clue as well.

     I kinda feel sorry for the likes of Tim and Bombay Aircon. I know only too well how frustrating it is when you can’t crack it while others around you can.

    I hope that’s ok.

    Maybe I should’ve PM-ed this.

    Just found it!  The clue is indeed little and perfectly OK with me.

    Sorry, @Bombay Airconditioning. I was hardly more confident of this answer than the handful I'd already tried!

    I'm still waiting for a longshot listener from the loneliest throngs to draw a weapon from their singleton holster.  :D

    • 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.
