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!

    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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
