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?

    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!😄

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
