Demonstone's No Sweat Simple Straightforward Smooth Stumper

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!

    • 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.
