    I'd bet @Demonstone would want no apology and rather (like me) would welcome the continuing growth in this nerdy D'Land sub-culture!

    Now, 'three parts to the answer' you say? I hear the sound of new ground breaking...

    I just PMd you @Witches Hat but please ignore my guess as I just realised how stoopid it is.

    Actually, maybe don’t ignore my guess. Maybe not so stoopid after all. I might be on to something.

    or maybe I just want Tim and Demonstone to think they’re at risk of being beaten by a girl 😁

    I was stung into action after WCW worked out Demonstone's last quiz, and I couldn't. 😁

    Is this a clue, mo?

    If not, can we please have a clue, @Witches Hat??????

    Because you asked nicely...

    Tony Jewell is the coach.

    Luke Hodge and Nathan Jones are over qualified and therefore ineligible for selection.

    Well I couldn't possibly figure this one out, can you??

    I was ready to throw the towel in. I told Witches Hat I’m likely barking up the wrong tree. Witches Hat said I’m circling the tree and it’s the right tree. Now that I know that I feel I can’t give up.

    I can elaborate on the previous clue.

    Tony Jewell was a relatively easy choice as coach.

    Jamie Elliott is another who is over qualified.

    Two posters are sitting on two out of three but do have all three between them (no clue there, just a teaser for the two chasing second place).

    Answer to be revealed this afternoon as I'll be offline for a few hours.

    If the other poster contacts me, we could pool our resources and share silver and bronze!  :D

    “Share silver and bronze” huh? I think I’m the poster who has two out of three, DS. If we go in cahoots, I’d expect no less than silver.

    The clue hasn’t helped me at all. 
    I’ve looked at players numbers, where they were drafted and where they played their junior footy. I would ask that this quiz is not wrapped up so quickly as some of us work anywhere between 8 & 13 hours a day.

     Thanks

    Sunk cost fallacy. Pretty much every Dee is a victim of this syndrome @WalkingCivilWar@layzie.

    While the protagonists for the podium ponder the last link @tilly18 has done a Bradbury and come from nowhere, although in this instance the colour is silver and not gold.

    Well played.

    Gold and silver to @tilly18 in the last two events! Building a reputation!

    And that @mo64, eh? Very solid over the journey.

    I've just returned after my initial post and the subsequent wasted hour or so. None the wiser. Shall now sleep (nightmare?) on it...

    Nup. Still none the wiser. And one guess summarily dismissed overnight.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      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 they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
