Demonstone

No, because they are under contract and the trade period is finished.

I'll wrap this up soonish, but I'm wondering why the prizewinners haven't nominated the players they are entitled to choose. @710 Asbury St ? @tilly18 ? @Ghostwriter ? As a final clue (or another layer of frustration), Batman would qualify for this team but neither Superman nor Spiderman would be eligible.

Third prize has been claimed by the consistent @tilly18 who, for his efforts, get to pick any former MFC star to return in their peak form. Just pipped at the post was @Ghostwriter , who also deserves a prize and will pick any former MFC player currently at another club to come home.

Good morning to all the frustrated posters out there who will be miffed to know that another genius has found the answer. Congratulations to @710 Asbury St who has snagged second prize and with it the chance to recruit any player from any club to join MFC. Choose wisely! The teaser remains open with the revealing reveal to be revealed long after reveille but not by Bruce Reville. Wot? Oh, at a later stage.

One more player I probably should mention before logging off for the night. Former Kangaroo and Hawk big man David Hale almost made the team, but in the end he was just a little off the pace.

A pair of ruckmen from the 70s/80s era in Rod Blake and Mark Lee would both be eligible for this team.

This looks likely.

I wondered if anybody might be tricked by the spectrum of colours in the team list. That in fact was a rainbow herring, which is a cross between a rainbow trout and a red herring and nothing more than a naughty misdirection. Any further suggestions (serious or not) in a PM please!

No more suggestions have been received. To make things easier (or not), Tom Scully would qualify for this team but Jack Trengove would not. Likewise, Barnaby French would qualify but Des English would not.

A second clue: The common factor is not related to any profession, so you can rule out musicians, comedians, actors etc.

It's a big shout out to @Little Goffy who has solved the mystery. LG now has the privilege of selecting any draftee he so desires to join MFC.

The only response to date suggested they were all involved in knee incidents but, alas, that is not the answer. edit: A second player thought they might all share a surname with a well known musician but, although many do, again not the answer. Hint: there is no connection to sport of any description.

Footy season is over, the trade period is done and dusted and the drafts are still a few weeks away. Could there be a more boring time for a Demons fan? You betcha! Keep reading! Below is a team of players who all have something in common. Your task is to identify what that certain something is. Virtual prizes shall be awarded for the first three correct answers. Pretty please ... answers in a PM only. Blurting is hurting. ==================================================================== B: Phil Gilbert Darcy Moore Jason McCartney H/B: Ted Richards Daniel Turner Andrew Rogers C: Max Holmes Dustin Martin Bailey Smith H/F: Scott Thompson Paul Abbott Luke Parker F: Nick Watson Barry Hall Oscar Allen R: Jeff White Jordan Lewis Sam Mitchell I/C: Scott Burns Chris Sullivan Bailey Laurie John Barker

He might take after his Dad. Travis never seemed to have much to say either.

140 people have voted in the poll. There doesn't appear to be any support for the notion of MFC picking up Mason Cox.

Maxon should read Mason. Soch is life!

Demonland's own @Whispering_Jack would rightly feel aggrieved by his omission.

Why does that matter to you?

Odd comment. I'd be happy to have 23 Lindsays if they could all play.

Deliberate mistake to see if anybody was paying attention. ☹️

Mason Cox has been delisted by Collingwood. Should we pick him up as a Delisted Free Agent?

Strange company, that Dove. Their chocolate is delicious but their soap tastes dreadful.

Yet you continually describe the game's officials and the media as "maggots". Let he who is without sin cast the first Demonstone (or something like that).

When people stop posting. Oops.
