Demonstone

As promised (threatened?) here is the last quiz for this footy season. However, I do reserve the right to post others in quiet periods over the off season. I believe this is the hardest teaser so far and hopefully it will occupy some of the time leading up to tomorrow's team announcement. In keeping with Melbourne playing in the big one, this week's team consists solely of past Demon players. It's quite a strong side. Can you identify the quirky factor that they have in common? Answers in a PM only please to prolong the pain. Incorrect responses will be mentioned to prevent others falling for the same trap. B: Anthony Ingerson Alistair Nicholson Nathan Brown H/B: Graeme Yeats Jared Rivers Rod Grinter C: Robert Flower (C) Todd Viney (VC) Scott Thompson H/F: Clint Bizzell Brad Miller Russell Robertson F: Ricky Petterd Shaun Smith Steven Armstrong R: Mark Jamar Cameron Bruce Darren Kowal I/C: Darren Jolly Matthew Febey Luke Williams Daniel Bell

It's a variety of refearee.

The snow jokes became extremely tedious a long, long time ago, but some would be smarties still trot them out as if they are both original and hilarious. I just tell people that there's two types in this world - Demon fans and those who wish they were Demon fans. Alternatively, hit 'em with the good old tried and true "Shut up or we'll increase your rent".

A 12 year bump! Is that a Demonland record?

Yeah, that's the joke Meggs.

Referring to the Herald-Sun as "the little paper" isn't about the size of its pages.

I've heard from a consistently reliable source that Michael Voss will be the new Carlton coach.

It's well known that the purpose of a dad joke is to elicit a groan rather than a laugh.

Not as good a job as the Richmond doctor would do.

Recent draftee defender Daniel Turner looks good already but, b-b-b-baby you ain't seen nothin' yet. He's also built to last and is not fragile. Therefore, the proposed medal should be called the Backman Turner Overdrive.

1 vote. Worth a future 2nd round pick 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Think you'll find that Cerra polled twice for a total of three votes, which is more votes than May, Salem, Langdon, Brayshaw, Petty, Harmes, Sparrow, Jordon, Jones, Hibberd, Melksham, Bowey, Baker, Chandler, Jetta, Tomlinson, Vanders, Rivers, Weideman, Hunt, Browns M & B, Nibbler and Spargo combined. On that basis, a future 2nd round pick sounds about right.

Doe!

Get on with it!

Pretentious? Moi?

Sorry for the oversight, Froggy. Here's your Denim Medal.

I know this whole COVID saga has taken its toll on all of us in various ways and to different degrees, but I can't help but think you're jumping at shadows here, Mr. Trucker. No doubt we'll all feel much better after we win the big one on Saturday.

We now have enough correct responses to close this one down. The answer is that all the players in this team share a surname with Australian Test cricketers. Gold Medal: Lucifer's Hero Silver: Timothy Reddan-A'Blew Bronze: Taipei Demon

I think I may have caught a few out with this one, Luci.

Well, if that's the case, you'd have to be an absolute dill not to get vaccinated wouldn't you?

A poster has suggested that they are all right foot kicks. While this may be the case, it's not the answer I'm looking for.

I already have a Cricket Cryptic ready to go!

As the thread title suggests, this is the second-last in an overlong series of football related brainteasers. After lobbying the owners of this site, they have agreed that not only is it not compulsory to play along, but you don't even have to read any further if you so wish. What a time to be alive!! I would rate today's as being of medium difficulty but the final one that will be posted on Wednesday afternoon is extremely challenging. In keeping with this being the week of the Demon, all the players in this team ran out for Melbourne. What else do they have in common? Please confine your answers to PM only to give more posters a chance to participate. Incorrect suggestions will be posted to narrow the field of possibilities. B: Brett Bailey Tony Campbell Shane McGrath H/B: Frank Davis Scott Turner Graham Gaunt C: Kevin Dyson Brian Wilson D.i.c.k. Taylor H/F: David Williams Garry Lyon Chris Connolly F: Glen Elliott Darren Bennett Rodney Wright R: John Reid Hassa Mann Greg Healy I/C: Michael Young Paul O'Brien Nick Carter Andrew Dale

It's the only item on my bucket list yet to be ticked off. I would anticipate an immense sense of relief coupled with unbridled ecstasy.

A baked bean diet is fiendishly clever because you can always blame the dogs for any flatulence.

No doubt Chook's post is a reference to Cerra and he has a proven track record of receiving reliable mail. If you want to go searching for alternative meanings, of course it could also apply to our Grand Final celebrations with Frankie Valli up on stage singing "Oh what a night, late September 2021".
