Demonstone

That's not unheard of.

Kent Kingsley would be captain. Supermercado often refers to him in his wonderful Demonblog.

I always go with "dived".

I know somebody who pronounces "trough" as "tro" because that's what her mother did. Must ask her if her mum voted for Go Whitlam.

Marcus Whelan won his Brownlow in 1939. I believe that old dee may have been there.

Just the three Demonlanders clever enough to realise that ... drumroll ... all the players in my team share a surname with that of a Brownlow Medallist.

Mythbusters covered firewalking in one episode and the secret is to walk quickly and softly over the coals. As the above clip shows, Notso Smart burnt his feet by stomping heavily through the embers.

That may well be the case, EO. I've got a date with a doona, but I'll post the reveal tomorrow morning. Will anybody else crack it? Hint #2: The solution relates to the players' surnames.

The hint has helped mo64 work out the common factor. We have our first three placegetters but I'll leave it open for others to have a go.

I would not assume that at all.

Chill, mon. Maybe they'll play Toots and the Maytals version.

It appears that there has been little movement at the station. Either it's too hard OR nobody cares OR it's too hard and nobody cares. Hint #1: There is a football connection.

That's how he earned his nickname "Notso".

When it comes to buying clothes my first preference is Yves Saint Laurent, which I like to obtain from their Australian distributor, the Brotherhood of Saint Laurent.

We have a second correct response, this time from reynolds46. I believe that this is the first time a winner has shared their name with a member of the team in the teaser.

Are you positive?

Fewer than what?

Essendon didn't win a final last year, binny. They haven't done so for many, many years now.

They would have started with six. That's how many cockroaches have.

First correct answer has been submitted by La Dee-vina Comedia. Incorrect suggestions that may be eliminated are that all the players goaled with their first kick and the odd notion that there is a connection to footwear. I can't think of a sole reason for the latter.

On reflection, a better title for this thread would have been "How Geelong Manages To Regenerate Their List".

For those confused by the difference between "less" and "fewer": If you can count them, the correct word is fewer. You can have less food, but fewer sandwiches.

We haven't had one of these for a while. Demonland posters: "Praise the (John) Lord". Today's team is of a reasonable standard, if a little light on for ruckmen. It features only seven current players and four ex-Demons. What common factor unites them? Answers to me in a PM only, thank you very much. I reckon this is a pretty easy one, but I've already had a peek at the solution. No medals today as they have already been won by Australians in Birmingham.
