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.!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
