Demonstone's Almost August August Augean Augury

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!

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 🙄

    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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
