    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
