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.

Hmmm...Dunno... The farther you let this go on, Stone, well...

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy.
