Demonstone's King's Birthday Kranium Busting Kinda Bewildering Kafkaesque Braintwister

We're facing a long wait until our next game.  Let's kill some time before we kill the Pies.

This team of past and present Demon players goes right back to the 1950s.  Some are better known than others.

In a return to traditional values, there is just a 19th and 20th man and none of this new-fangled interchange and substitute nonsense.

What common factor unites all these players?

Answers in a PM only please!

    Time for a clue?  Why not.

    The answer is associated with that one day in September.

    Sorry about that misleading clue.  It wasn't a reference to Grand Final Day at all.

    Just a little Dad joke you might say.  :D

    I was wondering how you will be connecting the clue with the solution.

    Not if you tacked it onto a previous discussion, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew.

    I delete old PMs as a matter of course.  Send it through in a new message.

    I did.

    Done.

    You did done good and answered correctly.

    That makes six posters who have worked it out.  I'll leave the teaser up overnight for any latecomers.

    Could we please have a drum roll followed by an emphatic "boom" and a "tish".

    All the players in this team had a father who also played VFL/AFL.

    The twist is that none of the fathers played for Melbourne.

    My sneaky "one day in September" clue was a reference to Fathers' Day.

    Other little hints scattered around include "Dad joke", "farther" and "sun".

    Thank you to all participants. 

    I may post another of these during the long break post KB if there is enough interest.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
