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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
