Despite having run out of ideas for these teasers a few weeks ago, the tragic news is that I have devised a few more to taunt you with.

This is undoubtedly the easiest of them all and I would expect it won't provide much of a challenge but, hey, not everything in this life has to be difficult.

Following is a team of past and present Demons. 

Harry Petty makes the team (but not the real one ATM, alas) but Tom Sparrow doesn't qualify.

What is the common factor that links all of these players?

As always, answers in a PM only please.

Clues should not be necessary and I am fully expecting a deluge of correct responses very quickly.

    Got in early, that's all.

    Still pondering? 

    How about if I told you that it is most appropriate that our team colours are red and blue?

    Hmmmm, wasn’t confident in submitting my answer since I wasn’t sure it was correct. I think some of these players getting a guernsey in this team is questionable.

    Realised I had given the answer away.

    I've sent you a PM as it's impossible to discuss the reasons without giving away the answer.

    We’ve just discussed in PMs the issue I have with those three players. When you finally make public the answer, I’m interested to know if anyone else agrees with me, or whether they’re wrong like you. 😁

    @Roger Mellie has also solved the teaser and raised the same eligibility doubts on those three players.

    I'll explain my reasoning when I post the reveal later this evening.

    To nobody's surprise, @Jaded No More has correctly identified that all the players in today's team are kindred spirits of hers in that they have red hair.  They are all blessed with a skull of rust.

    I'll address the query raised by some posters as to the gingerness of three of the players now.

    1.  Colin Sylvia was as redhaired as they come until he fell in love with the peroxide bottle.

    2.  Rooey, while at the fairer end of the ranga scale, is still a redhead in my view (strawberry blonde?).

    3.  Scott Thompson is the one I was most hesitant about.  If you look at early photos of him before he adopted the #1 cropped hairstyle, I maintain that there is a measure of the Fanta pants in him.

    I guess it's all in the eye of the beerholder and opinions may vary, but I've got no issue with that.  After all, this whole thing is just a bit of ephemeral internet fluff.

    In closing, may I quote the wise words of @Jaded No More who I feel speaks for redheads everywhere ... "It's not how you look it's how ginger you feel at heart".

    Ha this is the first of these I've actually got, and pleased I'd already figured it out by the time I'd gotten to the full back! Perhaps it was due to the fine dusting of cinnamon I have in my own hair!

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
