Demonstone

Engorged Onion is closest to the pin so far.

Nothing to do with footy, PD.

Nobody has come remotely close at this point. Clue #2: There is no football connection whatsoever. I'll leave this open overnight and provide a further clue in the morning if it's still unsolved. Please be warned that I have a another seven (7!!) of these brainteasers ready to trot out so that I may torment you each Wednesday right up to finals time, assuming I don't receive a Court injunction in the interim.

They may well have all visited Surfers Paradise at some point, but no surfing connection that I'm aware of.

Sadly, that goes without saying but it's not the answer I'm looking for. Clue #1: In a twist that nobody saw coming (and apologies for my red herring reply to daisycutter's answer, but you should never assume anything), you will be delighted or horrified (delete inapplicable response) to learn that this week's quiz has absolutely nothing at all to do with music or bands. Don't want to get too predictable!

First clue at 7pm if nobody has cracked it by then.

So I guess it's Happy New Year's Eve for all the accountants out there.

Adelaide used to refer to themselves as The Camry Crows at one stage.

I'm surprised that more posters haven't realised that, by responding to Dr. D, they keep giving him the attention and cheap thrills he seeks with his baiting. The "ignore" function is your best friend in such situations.

daisycutter: You would need to provide more information. Port Demons: Brad was selected for reasons that will become clear once the quiz is solved. I know he wasn't renowned for playing on the back flank, but I couldn't find a spot for him in that stellar forward line!

Was a member of the MFC Board from 2009 to 2014. He'd better be a Demon man!

OK funlovers, it's that time of the week again. Today, I have chosen a team (from the backline and in position) consisting solely of footballers who played for the mighty Demons. The more eagle-eyed among you will have noted that they have all appeared on the Melbourne senior list since the year 2000. What else do they have in common? I suspect this one may go off early as it's fairly simple. Then again, I already know the answer! B: Nathan Brown Steven May Ryan Ferguson H/B: Brad Miller Ben Holland Joel Smith C: Jayden Hunt Nathan Jones Daniel Ward H/F: Brad Green Jesse Hogan Tom McDonald F: Russell Robertson Mitch Clark Luke Jackson R: Jeff White Cameron Bruce Daniel Nicholson I/C: James Cook Jack Fitzpatrick Steven Armstrong Dean Kent

I hope you yelled out as you were leaving "Armageddon out of here!".

You keep forgetting that $100 of that was his to start with. He punted the $100, had a win/early payout (same thing) and got back $2,300. He only wins $2,200. He's not $2,300 in front overall. Sorry WCW, but you clearly don't understand the difference between odds and payout. In a previous life, I worked as a bookie's clerk so I know what I'm talking about.

Incorrect. If he had lost the bet, he would have lost his $100 stake. By being paid out, he gets back that $100 plus the $2,200 winnings = $2,300 payout. It was $2,200 winnings against $100 outlay, or 22/1. Great effort nonetheless and well done to those who had the courage to back us. Enjoy your winnings!

He did even better with leg spin.

Geez, well done mate! There must have surely been some sort of publicity angle as we're not certainties to win the flag at this stage. (BTW, if they paid out $2,300, the odds were 22 to 1 as $100 of that was your original stake)

Did that involve lots of multiplying?

At what odds did they pay out, Tony? Surely not the 23/1 you started with?

Percentage is irrelevant if we finish first or second.

1. Sideshow Bob kicked 5.2 today. Bring him in. 2. Mitch Brown went off injured early in today's game. Not in consideration. 3. There's only one "o" in Goulburn.

Petty doesn't rack up a lot of possessions but, more importantly, neither does his opponent and that is the key job of a defender. He's coming along OK and should only get better with more experience at this level.

* shoo-in

Because of his current connection with MFC carrying out the roles of on-ground announcer and host/mc at club functions.

I reckon Russell Robertson might get that gig.
