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.

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.!

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
