For all the mental torture that the likes of Demonstone have inflicted upon me, I've compiled a quiz. In the scale of hardness, I'd rate it a 'talc', but that's because I know the answers.

What do these players have in common:

Backline        Brad Sholl        Noah Balta        Paul Hamilton        
                                
Half Back        Daniel Cross        Scott Lucas        Garry Foulds        
                                
Centreline        Peter Filandia       Jude Bolton        David Calthorpe        
                                
Half Forwards        Mitch Wallis        Joe Daniher        Jake Riccardi        
                                
Forward Line        Justin Madden        Matthew Lloyd        Ricky McLean        
                                
Followers        Simon Madden        Dane Swan        Tom Liberatore        
                                
Bench        Steve O'Dwyer        Leigh Tudor        Ben Ronke        Xavier O'Halloran
                                
Emergencies        Lachlan Sholl        Steve Morris        Rohan Welsh        James Cook

    A suspicious number of Essendon names here. Is this a gateway quiz and if I attempt it, I end up swearing on a bible that James Hird was set up by the AFL?

    Blown it Mazer, we all know Robbo can't spell. So if not the Tird who are you? Calico Jack perhaps, or some other fictional pirate.

     

    Edit: So now you can't say Sl obbo!

    There's one podium place up for grabs, so here's a clue:

    There's some real hard-nuts in this team. But there's also some downhill skiers who may require some assistance.

    Congrats to @Mazer Rackham who takes bronze.

    The connection for all these players is that they attended St. Bernard's College West Essendon. Some players like James Cook and Daniel Cross came to the school after being recruited by their AFL club.

    This quiz has really opened my eyes. I've been researching all things Essendon on the internet. It turns out ASADA and WADA were so jealous of Essendon that they took an ex ASADA employee, Dank, and planted him at Geelong, knowing that one day Essendon would recruit him. (They play the long game, these powerful international banking organisations.) But James was onto them from the very beginning and refused to play their game. He had to sacrifice his own career to save the club, but his love of the club was so great that he didn't even hesitate.

    Hang on. Incoming telex from Bruce Francis. brb

    'Talc', @mo64? I. Don't. Think. So. Somewhere towards the right hand end of the obscurity spectrum, I'd say!

    Thus, a worthy (though, to me, inaccessible) challenge!

    (And speaking of obscurity, @Mazer Rackham, 👏 for your contributions. To your respondents, too.)

    Very good Mo, never would have cracked it but a great challenge nonetheless.

    All I had for your image clues above was that they all enjoy Honeysuckle scented candles.

    Again, very impressive knowledge!

    Beekeeper, candles => wax => whacks => thugs => Essendon players => why do Essendon players turn out like they do?

    Pretty simple when you break it down.

    Speaking of saints, James has learned that the AFL started the Ukraine war to distract from 17 clubs doping their players against their wills. I'll leave you to work out which 17.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
