Demonstone

What happened last time, Steve? Did you get drummed out?

I think people are still so angry that they're refusing to play. Of the three teasers I had ready to go, I thought this was the easiest of them. Although the team would be coached by former Demon Kelly O'Donnell, please take the hint that there is no sporting connection whatsoever. Who will claim the Grouchy Gold Of Glumness?

Ask them if they had been born the last time their team won a flag.

He may be pining for the fjords.

I saw a sparrow on the wing today. Omen perhaps?

And what positive outcomes would you say that your sanctimonious, holier-than-thou grandstanding has achieved?

One less than serious answer so far but no other takers. On the TRAB Scale (TM pending) this teaser is rated as a 3: "Not football related but related to the selected players".

It was never a rumour, it was unfounded speculation (not unlike the rest of your risible post).

As long as you upset and offended some people, Doug. That's the main thing, isn't it?

I've seen this movie before. Melbourne loses a game, the season isn't going as well as hoped and we are all disappointed. Some are angry, some are bitter, some attack the coaches and players and a rogue element resort to turning on each other. Rather than tearing our fellow posters apart, we need a focal point for all the pent-up rage. Here it is! Consider this your vault of vitriol, your bank of bile and your repository of rancour. Vent your frustrations at me! You've also seen this movie before. Below is a team of current and former players who share a common characteristic. What might that be? Answers in a PM only please!

An item of supporter apparel that I bought in the 1980s still fits me perfectly. OK, it's a scarf, but the point still stands.

Richmond played GWS at the MCG two weeks ago. The crowd was 19,040. edit: snap @Deebymistake

Second cousin of Cameron Ling?

Is this correct? I know his family has a Zimbabwean background, but thought Roo was born in Australia.

How do you know that we didn't try to recruit Chol?

When Simon Goodwin does the same thing, he's derided by some for being stubborn and inflexible.

We got done. Cue the gravedancers.

No, just outplayed and outclassed by a superior team.

I find it odd that the AFL allows teams to swap jumpers at quarter time.

Ivo Crapp was a much better umpire than his surname would suggest.

I was watching the Olympic Games opening ceremony and saw a local bloke wearing the same footwear. Believe it or not, his name is Phillipe Philoppe.

"The answer my friend, is kicking with the wind ..."

Is that what has made you the perpetually happy, positive and optimistic person you are today?

None of it is my work @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew except the "research" and compiling. It was intended to be a light-hearted bit of fun. Dunno about clutching at straws but, should we lose to GWS, I would anticipate much pearl-clutching.
