As 'Mr d' aka @Demonstone has abandoned his post as Quiz Master, I have taken on, as a once off, the awesome responsibility of compiling a quiz.

What is the common link?

Answer is football related.  Most players roughly in position.  I couldn’t find a coach to fit the answer but C Scott is the closest.

PM your answers please!

Lovely to see a new torturer assume the mantle!

Is Nick Dal Santo meant to be named twice?

Haha!  No torturing, this is quite simple!

 

True to Chris Scott form a last minute replacement ploy to trick the opp coach!  Del Santo replacement on the bench is B Stanton.

What, 'football related', could possibly distinguish St Kilda one-gamer, Chris Hemley?! Certainly not a stat! 😄

It isn't as obscure as some 'football related' clues of the past 🤷‍♀️😉

Koalas regularly appear in my manna gums. He/she/they are generically called Kenny. However, they may now need to be called Luci?!

It will be an honour ( I think 🤔) for your friendly cuddlies to be named 'Luci.  Hope the name change brings you luck!


  • Author

All prizes are gone.

As indicated this quiz was quite easy, too easy perhaps - didn't need to use any of the great clues I had lined up!

Will leave this run for the rest of the day as I'll be out and to give others a chance to have some fun!

No new answers forthcoming so unlike the cryptic clues in a few of my posts above, here is a real clue:  lucky for some, unlucky for others!

  • Author

Another correct winner!

No prizes left but Australia Day honours are in order for @demosaw

 

Edit:  On reflection @demosaw deserves a image.png.da8c76f49d9ba7dfe3c63a65bcd8ee6f.png prize as he correctly identified why C Scott didn't quite fit the criteria ... something I failed to ask of other prizewinners.

Being Australia Day and am in a magnanimous mood their prizes will remain.

Another correct answer by @tilly18 earning Australia Day honours. 

  • Author

The answer was all players were drafted at #13.  Chris Scott was drafted at #12.

Thanks for playing everyone!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
