Thanks to @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew I can now reveal that both bench players would qualify as Captain.

Now that the answers have been declared and winners announced (congratulations, as I had no idea), I can remember several of these goals - particularly Stinger's goal and his display of elation. It was a marque of a champion to come in the near future. My question relates to the Captain of such a team. Frank Davis was one of our best in lean times and also, one of our great leaders, working from the back pocket across the whole backline setting examples and imagery for all of our players. In terms of footballing stature, Davis was a squirt but by jiminy he could play against all sizes, all physiques, all comers. I'd consider him to be in the top six of Demon captains without doubt. 

I cannot believe I didn't get this one. I reckon I've DM'd Demonstone with this answer at least 3 times as a hail mary in previous quizzes. 

Pack it in son.

Emeritus membership of the winners' circle for you then, layz 😊

And y'all come back now, y'hear?

Australia is all out at Edgbaston, having fallen just short of their goal of a first innings lead.

Not so with the above team.  All the players in this side achieved the comparatively rare feat of scoring a goal with their first kick in VFL/AFL football.

Incredibly, both the bench players in James Magner and Peter Tossol goaled with their first two kicks!  I was unaware of this when compiling the team and thank both Tims for bringing it to my attention.

The baton of bafflement has now been passed to @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew who will present the next teaser.

Gonna wait now till after Sunday's Riddle In The Middle, for fun in the afterglow or distraction from the doom.
