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.

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.!

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
