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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • GAMEDAY: North Melbourne

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
