Demonstone

Imagine, if you will, having these guys playing on the MCG before the team runs out. Max Gawn appears at 0:40!!

So you're not going to take it lion down?

Imagine if one day he ends up as captain. He'd then be XTC and our senses would be working overtime.

I am as it happens, but the reason I went with Taurus was the wide range of possibilities it afforded with clues, links, hints, wordplay and the like.

I think @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has done enough to earn third spot, although I'm not sure he's actually answered the question. (Hope you haven't included your answer in a previous PM old son, as everybody knows by now I don't save old messages). Time to take this old dog on it's final trip to the vet and hold its paw while the vet administers the green dream. All the players in my team were born between 20th April and 20th May, making them all Taureans (just like 1/12th or less than 10% of Demonlanders). The clues were many and varied and an explanation may be warranted. ** Robert Downey Jr, Jake Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo co-starred in a move called 'Zodiac'. ** Ralph Wiggum hoped to attend Bovine University when he grew up. ** Harpo wasn't a one-hit wonder after all. His follow-up song 'Horoscope' had some success in Australia. ** The Blues Brothers doing 'Sweet Home Chicago' was directing you to the Chicago Bulls. ** The pictured car is a Ford Zodiac. (A Ford Taurus was deemed a tad too obvious.) ** Primal Fear are a band who had an EP and a single titled "Horrorscope". ** The pictured boat is a Zodiac inflatable vessel. ** Sprinkled throughout my posts were several signposts with words such as stars, steer, bullseye, BS, beef, Red Bulls, herd and horns. ** If all that wasn't enough, I then gave you 'The Flying Viking', Alix Tauru(s)!! Sheesh. It's a battle just to give all these wonderful prizes away. I'll try to make the next one easier (not that this one was hard). Next up: @Little Goffy with his cryptic stylings.

Gosh. Hard to believe that this teaser could baffle so many brilliant minds (and @Little Goffy as well). I'll post the reveal this evening but, in the meantime, third spot is still up for grabs. Take your chance by the horns, Demonlanders!

Come on down @Harvey Wallbanger and accept your well-earned second prize.

We have a winner with @reynolds46 solving the mystery and taking home first prize. Congratulations!

I reckon one of these would be more appopriate than a raft, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew . Anyway, onto that final "gimme" clue. St Kilda's 'Flying Viking' almost qualified for my team, but just fell short. That's all, folks. I've herd you've found this teaser particularly tricky but I've got nothing more to offer in the way of hints.

So, those three actors that have featured. What, if anything, could they have in common? Are they part-owners of a Hollywood restaurant? Did they buy a sports team? Live in the same neighbourhood? Something else? This is the second-last hint. The next will give the answer away without doubt and that's not BS.

What's your beef? Have I tapped into your Primal Fear?

I see him as the natural successor to Petty if hairlines are any indication.

Another plank in that raft of yours, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew .

The theme from 'Deliverance'? Nah, Collingwood fans already lay claim to that one.

Apologies to those who hit the Red Bulls and stayed up all night working on this, all to no avail. There is no sporting connection, nor is the answer associated with the players' names. Further, despite images of certain actors, it has nothing to do with movies. They are still clues, however. Coming up soon are some blatantly obvious hints, but first I'm heading out for a nice drive in my new car. Do you like it?
