Well, here we are again.  Melbourne's season is over, there's no footy at all this week and the Demonland boards are deathly quiet as there are clearly no football issues worth discussing at the moment (unless I've missed something).

It's that time when gardens get attention, odd jobs are caught up on, and we re-establish contact with our family.

I spoke to mine only last night and they seem nice, although I was somewhat surprised to learn that my wife no longer works at Brashs.

When things are so boring, the only real option is to fill in all that spare time with another brainteaser.

Today's team is a mix of past and present players, including six former Demons, that looks quite strong on paper. 

What common factor unites the players in today's team?  Answers in a PM only s'il vous plait.

There have been a couple of nibbles, but the bait is still on the hook.

The team needs a coach and Stuart Dew has been duly appointed.  Onya Stewie!

We have a winner!

Congratulations are in order for @mo64 who has solved the mystery and, in doing so, given his personal brand an immeasurable boost.

I thought we may have had more players.  It's not like there's anything else to distract us right now.

My bad.  I probably need to be locked up in a cell (or something like that).

I have to bail out for tonight, but will leave you with another clue.

There are more than one set of father/sons in the solution.

Maybe that might help to draw some inspiration.

I thought by now that other matters may have quietened down and you'd be looking for a diversion.

* voiceover*  But they hadn't quietened down.  There was debate raging on several fronts.

Any further responses would be unreal.  You might say the same about the answer.

Who will be in the frame for second and third place?

I really expected a more animated conversation, but I'm fresh out of clues.

Answer to be revealed later this arvo for anybody with a modicum of interest.

Time to put this debacle out of its misery.  I really stuffed up with the timing of this, didn't I?  :wacko:

My team all share a first name with a cartoon character, as shown below.

 

B:       Brian Griffin     Rod Flanders     George Jetson

H/B:   (Sideshow) Bob Terwilliger   Tom Cat     Troy McClure

C:       Stan Marsh     (Reverend) Tim Lovejoy     Patrick Star

H/F:    Charlie Brown     (Mayor) Joe Quimby     Archie Andrews

F:       (Groundskeeper) Willie MacDougal     Fred Flintstone     Bobby Hill :cool:

R:       Carl Carlson     (Doctor) Nick Riviera     Todd Flanders

I/C:    Ned Flanders     Eric Cartman     Peter Griffin     Chris Griffin

SUB:   (Professor) John Frink

COACH:  Stewie Griffin 

 

We must be in different generations Mr D ... I only recognise a handful of those characters! 

Just as well I didn't try too hard to solve the puzzle, eh!.  My brain would be fried trying to remember something that isn't there!!!

As always thanks for your work ...

Almost half of the characters are from 'The Simpsons'.  Not a fan, Luci?

A passing interest.  In the FTA days it was in the wrong time slot.  Nowadays, other things to do.

Of the little I saw - a very clever show!

I've only just seen this, @Demonstone! You went WAY too early with the reveal! 🥺

Nice to have your OP for a wake-up chuckle, though!😄

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
