I've seen this movie before.  Melbourne loses a game, the season isn't going as well as hoped and we are all disappointed.  Some are angry, some are bitter, some attack the coaches and players and a rogue element resort to turning on each other.

Rather than tearing our fellow posters apart, we need a focal point for all the pent-up rage. 

Here it is!  Consider this your vault of vitriol, your bank of bile and your repository of rancour.  Vent your frustrations at me!

You've also seen this movie before.  Below is a team of current and former players who share a common characteristic.

What might that be?  Answers in a PM only please!  (Blurters not welcome :D)

One less than serious answer so far but no other takers.

On the TRAB Scale (TM pending) this teaser is rated as a 3:

"Not football related but related to the selected players".

I think people are still so angry that they're refusing to play.

Of the three teasers I had ready to go, I thought this was the easiest of them.

Although the team would be coached by former Demon Kelly O'Donnell, please take the hint that there is no sporting connection whatsoever.

Who will claim the Grouchy Gold Of Glumness?

Checking in briefly @Demonstone. Heading out of range shortly, so can't participate.

Devastated.

First across the line and securing top spot on the podium is @Lucifers Hero.  Well done her!

Still up for grabs are the Splenetic Silver Of Seething and The Bitter Bronze Of Bile.

It's bedtime here at Chez Demonstone as I have a hot coffee date with another Demonlander in the morning.

Remember, with these brainteasers, not to overthink things.  

Often it's the FIRST thing that comes to mind.

Anyone good?

I said the coffee will be hot.  No comment on the other person's hotness!  :cool:

We have another winner with @Hawk the Demon solving the mystery and claiming Silver.

Coffee date has concluded and I'm nicely caffeinated.  Thanks for paying, hot date!

The teaser, on the other hand, needs a boost of its own.

I'm surprised that more posters haven't worked it out.   

Some of you obviously don't know if you're Arthur or Martha.

Up until that point I was sure it was something about their hair.

Do you wish to cut to the chase and lock in an answer with style?

The last line looks more of a diversion than a clue 🙄

No 'smarts' or IQ needed - just lateral thinking.

More responses are invited.  @Engorged Onion has provided a helpful clue and I think he might have found out what the correct answer is.

Very presumptive of you to make that judgement of them, DS.

The teaser may have been discussed this morning over coffee, @Axis of Bob!  :D

Meanwhile, @tilly18 has also identified the correct answer.

Solution to be posted later this afternoon.

Looks like this edition of the teaser has run its course.

The answer is that the first names of all the players in my team are gender neutral.

They can be both male and female first names.

I trust that the exercise was cathartic and that your level of rage has decreased rather than risen.

Jeez I was thinking are the surnames all Gaelic or are they cricketers, so far off track. Lol.!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
