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!

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".

  • Author

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 🙄

Your reference made me think of this 90's banger from Blur

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.

A trigger was just as necessary for the moribund quiz as it was for Roy Rogers to get around.

 
  • Author

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.!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
