Demonstone's $1964 Question

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 😊

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
