In all honesty, I stumbled onto the answer. It was one of Demonstoneโ€™s clues alone that did the trick. I never wouldโ€™ve got it just by the playersโ€™ names. Even now I canโ€™t see why certain names are there.

Less confused now? Probs more confused, amirite?ย

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

1. And Tilly and Mazerย didn't?!

2. As you can see, yes.

Without giving too much away, DS: Iโ€™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, thereโ€™s no clue in the above. But gimme a little time, and with Demonstoneโ€™s permission, Iโ€™ll come up with one.ย

@Allus Monkย 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 heโ€™d prefer we donโ€™t give clues. But Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s ok for me to say no, those names wouldnโ€™t be suitable.

PS: not gonna lie, hella proud that I solved one of DSโ€™s quizzes before you, Mo. ๐Ÿ˜˜

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, itย hasย 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...

ย 

...and another clue?

  • Author

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

@reynolds46ย has supplied the correct answer, but no other responses to date.

By popular demand, I'll leave this open.

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

OK.ย  Demonstone.

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

ย I kinda feel sorry for the likes of Tim and Bombay Aircon. I know only too well how frustrating it is when you canโ€™t crack it while others around you can.

I hope thatโ€™s ok.

Maybe I shouldโ€™ve PM-ed this.ย

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

Sorry,ย @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.ย ย :D

All good mate, I caught a flight this morning and have been driving etc so not much time. Will have a decent look tonight.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sundayโ€™s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonโ€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyโ€™s three matches and, with Melbourneโ€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekโ€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardโ€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnโ€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamโ€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneโ€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.ย There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.ย Since that game, the Demonsโ€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyโ€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the โ€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayโ€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
