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.

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.

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. 😁

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!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
