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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
