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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
