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.

    The last line looks more of a diversion than a clue 🙄

    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.!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
