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?

Your initials are MR. Is that you Mark Robinson?

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!

Edited by layzie

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
