Demonstone

Then I stand corrected for a second time. I think I'll just stick to my records. 😁

Ah! I see what you mean. We can listen to that playlist that you posted for free. (But you have to pay if you wish to download from the site.)

Stop being naughty, binny! Youtube is free for anybody to view, whereas Spotify requires payment.

Welcome @tilly18 to the list of winners. Answer to be revealed around 1pm today. In the meantime, here's a final hint (and it's a gimme) - the solution is not as difficult as it INITIALLY appears.

How about if I mention that the other coach is Sam Mitchell?

One incorrect suggestion has been received overnight, but no further action. Would it help if I mentioned that Tom Sims first name is actually Thomas and that the eligible Scott is Chris? Answer to be revealed later on today.

As a general rule, I'm not one to quote the Bible. However, most of you seem to be without a prayer so you might find some guidance in Matthew 20:16. (Please be aware that 'Matthew 20' does NOT refer to M. Febey. ) See you all tomorrow. It's going to be a scorcher apparently.

Yes, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew is aware of the solution and, as a fair and just reward, may select a beverage of his choice from the team esky. Incidentally TRAB, this is the last of my current arsenal so it's over to you and/or @Little Goffy and/or anybody else to devise the next teaser.

@Go Ds has indeed solved it, and can now enjoy an ice-cold stubby of VB with the boys in the dressing rooms for coming third. The teaser will remain open until tomorrow should any others care to have a go. A final clue will be posted before I go to bed tonight. (Why a final clue? Because I don't have any others.)

Third prize still up for grabs. Haven't received a PM with your answer, @Go Ds . (Any previous PM conversations deleted a long time ago)

One of the two is a Scott brother. Perversely, his twin isn't the other one.

Although the answer is not football related, two current AFL coaches would qualify for inclusion.

Coming home strongly to finish second is @Harvey Wallbanger who has also cracked the puzzle. He joins the team in the sheds nursing a cold can of Jim Beam & Coke, with the chance of another if the first one doesn't kill him.

We have a winner with @Jjrogan spotting the link. As the recipient of first prize, they get to enjoy a very large glass of champagne. Hell, I'm so impressed you can take the whole bottle!

Your guess is the Pitts. One of them, anyway.

Twin Tim Tams.

It's the final teaser for 2025 and what a milestone! With that fortuitous edge through slips, Demonstone takes the single to bring up his half-century. He acknowledges the applause from the crowd with an understated smile and a modest raising of his bat, while his batting partner and best mate @Cranky Franky joins him for a celebratory hug and an encouraging pat on the bum. If you would like to join the team in the dressing rooms for a drink after play finishes tonight, there are two things you must do to be eligible. 1 - Identify the common link that binds the players in the team below. They all appeared on an AFL list in 2025 and are named pretty much in position. 2 - Respond in a PM only. Failure to do so will result in you being run out (of town). B: John Noble Tom McCartin Mark Keane H/B: Tom McDonald James Sicily Isaac Cumming C: Angus Sheldrick Callum Mills Cam McKenzie H/F: Elijah Hewett Shannon Neale Quinton Narkle F: Tim Membrey Aaron Naughton Jamie Elliott R: Rhys Stanley Connor Rozee Tom Mitchell I/C: Sid Draper Liam McMahon Archer Reid Tom Sims

The good news is that I have another brainteaser all lined up and set to taunt you yet again. In less positive news, what Santa left for me was a little disappointing.

You cannot be serious!

More the mistake of the article. They have nominated two jumpers as the worst. The one Frawley is wearing isn't that bad IMO.

I think 'cubist' is a reference to the abomination that John Meesen is wearing.

We picked Cam up from North in a trade swap for Jordan Gysberts, and won that deal by a considerable margin. IIRC, he copped a fair bit of criticism for ducking his head in a marking contest early in his career with MFC. He never did it again.

Third time unlucky. 😁

Third time lucky? 😁
