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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
