Is there an echo in here?

Melbourne Football Club Sustained Success.

Quick heads up for those who may be interested. Channel Nine is screening the doco "Every Heart Beats True - The Jim Stynes Story" at 7.30 tonight.

This is probably going to sound churlish, but I was annoyed at Channel 7 showing a close-up of Abbey Holmes interviewing Max straight after the final siren. All I wanted to see was the players and fans celebrating the moment.

A tip for new players - click on the username and it will give you a history of name changes.

I can't understand why anybody would get a tattoo on their butt. Wouldn't you want to be able to look at it and show it off in polite company? Of course, you could always look in the mirror but that could lead to the mistaken assumption that your looking glass had a big crack in it.

You're funny.

Are we talking Gary Buckenara? The same Gary Buckenara who played 154 games for Hawthorn and kicked 293 goals, won four Premierships, captained his State twice, was named All-Australian three times and was named in Hawthorn's Team of the Century? That Gary Buckenara? Make no mistake, he was an excellent footballer. He did coach by the way, at the Sydney Swans, where his record was very poor.

Eight syllables! That's one more than Dipierdomenico. Gotta be an AFL record.

Give it to Adam Cerra.

There wasn't a free awarded.

Martin Flanagan wrote an outstanding piece in yesterday's "Age" pointing out the plethora of inaccuracies, inconsistencies, errors and pure fiction contained in the article referenced in the O.P. If somebody better at this interwebs thing than me could provide a link, that would be great.

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!

Players still get suspended for "donging" an opponent in a Final and, if I am not mistaken, the AFL is so keen to stamp out this tactic that penalties are increased for suspensions incurred during a Grand Final.

As has been the case all season.

The fourth player to be named as emergency will be another Demon whose identity is unknown and is also unimportant as he won't be playing. I expect Jordon will be named the injury sub and the starting line-up will be unchanged from last game.

We'll be none the wiser as to the sub's identity even when the team is announced this evening, because he will be one of the four emergencies named. I expect the starting 22 to be unchanged and the four emergencies to be Jordon, Hunt, Melksham and A. Nother with Jordon getting the nod.

I've decided to forgo the cheese platter and eat mine off a tectonic plate on Saturday night.

Have a look at DaanSystems - Radiodelay for a free download of the appropriate software.

... is the correct answer! Only joking. I've had one late entry suggesting it was based on their draft number, but that's not it. The quirky thing that all these players share is that, incredibly, they all had at least one game where they recorded no disposals. In some cases this was because they sustained an early injury or got knocked out and were unable to continue to play. My source for this scarcely believable statistic is the excellent and unimpeachable site Demonwiki, which has a section titled "Lists" that is a most informative and entertaining read. The inclusion of the great Robbie Flower in this side was guaranteed to cause confusion. Gold medal (again) to Mazer Rackham who did provide hints in his responses and silver to Lucifer's Hero. Well done them. It was, as promised, a very difficult brainteaser.

No mate, nothing to do with finals.

Did you miss this excellent piece of advice, Demon trucker?

You are closer than you realise, LD-vC. I've had another incorrect answer that they all had a chance to win the game with a late score but didn't A second person has identified the common link. I don't know what possessed them to think of it. Solution to be revealed at high noon. Bronze still up for grabs!
