Demonstone

Thanks for editing out the revealing info, Luci. I'll keep it going for a bit longer. The answer doesn't relate to football, but another sport may be involved.

You just did.

I won't be able to attend to this brainteaser until tomorrow morning, so it can stay open until then. There's been no real hints so far, but I can reveal that the solution is topical.

@Jumping Jack Clennett has jumped in with the correct answer to round out today's Famous Five.

Please welcome @dl4e to the winners' circle. Alas, the prize bag is empty.

I'm with you, @TeamPlayedFine39. The ideal number of logos for me would be zero, but I recognise that they're a necessary evil.

Well done to @WalkingCivilWar for working it out and claiming third spot. I trust she will enjoy her prize of a lovely, decorative antimacassar.

Second prize has been claimed by @hardtack. Although the comfy chair has gone, he is now the proud owner of a nice fluffy cushion.

Congratulations to @Lucifers Hero who has solved the teaser and can expect a delivery truck to arrive shortly with her much deserved comfy chair. Have at it Demonlanders! There are still a couple of minor prizes to be won.

Nobody expects the Demonstone Inquisition! However, with little footy news to discuss, the only other current major sporting events of note have us horsing around, putting a soccer in it and hearing crickets. It's clearly time for another diversion. What is the common factor that unites all the past and present players in today's team? It's a fair to middling team (the bench is not strong) and a very easy puzzle. Answers in a PM only, please. The first to solve the teaser will of course win themselves ... the comfy chair! ============================================================== B: Jack Henry Easton Wood Ryan Ferguson H/B: Nick Maxwell Brad Miller Hayden Young C: Tyson Edwards Greg Williams Chad Warner H/F: Bailey Smith Wayne Carey Paul Chapman F: Paul Abbott Peter Curran Matthew Stokes R: Ben Marsh Tom Green Sam Mitchell I/C: Tom Phillips Alan Atkinson Luke Livingstone Tom Williamson

This article may (or may not) be of interest to you and others. I'm yet to form an opinion on Dillon. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/footy-front-and-centre-andrew-dillon-makes-his-mark-as-ceo-with-new-appointments-20231102-p5eh32.html

So West Coast want the moon and the stars for pick one, do they? I'd be willing to do my bit for the mighty Demons and moon them.

As suggested by the erudite solver of the puzzle, people can send me a PM with their answer to my riddle so that WCW's identity is not revealed to all and sundry (unless she so wishes, that is).

Don't want to give it away here. Will PM you!

You're on the right track, Luci!

Edith Piaf.

I have complete faith in our recruitment team and whomever is selected by Jason Taylor and his colleagues, it will guarantee no Moore, Harmes, Dunn.

Older readers will remember Essendon ruckman and later media commentator, Geoff Leek. Billy Baxter on The Coodabeen Champions said that he saw Geoff Leek and Doug Wade off the ground.

I once did that in an empty lift on the ground floor, pressed every button then got out. It was wrong on so many different levels.

Was that your wee joke, chook?

He's not quite dead yet! https://www.afl.com.au/news/1057306/former-melbourne-demons-and-carlton-blues-defender-oscar-mcdonald-set-to-head-west-to-fremantle-dockers-after-strong-vfl-season

Not as thick as me, obviously.

I reckon the Healy brothers also hailed from that neck of the woods.

Hassa was #29. I had his number on my first Melbourne footy jumper.
