    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: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
