Nobody expects the Demonstone Inquisition!

However, with little footy news to discuss, the only other current major sporting events of note have us horsing around, putting a soccer in it and hearing crickets.  It's clearly time for another diversion.

What is the common factor that unites all the past and present players in today's team? 

It's a fair to middling team (the bench is not strong) and a very easy puzzle.

Answers in a PM only, please.

The first to solve the teaser will of course win themselves ... the comfy chair!

 

==============================================================

 

B:       Jack Henry     Easton Wood     Ryan Ferguson

H/B:   Nick Maxwell     Brad Miller     Hayden Young

C:       Tyson Edwards     Greg Williams     Chad Warner

H/F:   Bailey Smith     Wayne Carey     Paul Chapman

F:       Paul Abbott     Peter Curran     Matthew Stokes

R:       Ben Marsh     Tom Green     Sam Mitchell

I/C:    Tom Phillips     Alan Atkinson     Luke Livingstone     Tom Williamson

Congratulations to @Lucifers Hero who has solved the teaser and can expect a delivery truck to arrive shortly with her much deserved comfy chair.

Have at it Demonlanders!   There are still a couple of minor prizes to be won.

Thank you!  Send the delivery truck to a charity...as I'm a bit of a 'mimimalist' with furnishings.

I'll settle for a Untitled.png.b3ea2c70311d792ade2c9648f821c841.png

I won't be able to attend to this brainteaser until tomorrow morning, so it can stay open until then.

There's been no real hints so far, but I can reveal that the solution is topical.

Without high-jacking your gig, some clues for the 'early birds' this morning:

I found the most familiar names first then the not so familiar. 

{Additional clues deleted}

From there it was a short step to work out how the rest fit a topical subject.

If you have the answer PM Demonstone, do not post it here.

You just did.

Oooops!!

But no-one has solved it in the 3 hours since I posted the clue so it can't have been very helpful.

Maybe folks need a clue for the Quiz Master himself !!

 

Edit:  since the 'early birds' had their chance to solve the quiz I have deleted the key parts of the clue!  Over to you.

Thanks for editing out the revealing info, Luci.

I'll keep it going for a bit longer.  

The answer doesn't relate to football, but another sport may be involved.

The answer to this teaser is that all the players in my team share a surname with squad members for their country in the 2023 Cricket World Cup.

@Watson11 noted that former Adelaide Crows listed player Balraj Singh would have been eligible if he had managed to play a game at AFL level.

The team with their real names is listed below.  My favourite is that bloke in the centre!

 

B:       Matt Henry (NZ)     Mark Wood (ENG)     Lockie Ferguson (NZ)

H/B:   Glenn Maxwell (AUS)     David Miller (SAF)     Will Young (NZ)

C:       Scott Edwards (NED)     Lizaad Williams (SAF)     Dave Warner (AUS)

H/F:   Steven Smith (AUS)     Alex Carey (AUS)     Mark Chapman (NZ)

F:       Sean Abbott (AUS)     Sam Curran (ENG)     Ben Stokes (ENG)

R:       Mitchell Marsh (AUS)     Cameron Green (AUS)     Daryl Mitchell (NZ)

I/C:    Glenn Phillips (NZ)     Gus Atkinson (ENG)     Liam Livingstone (ENG)     Kane Williamson (NZ)

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
