  1. I've sent you a PM as it's impossible to discuss the reasons without giving away the answer.
  2. Who would you consider ineligible, @WalkingCivilWar?
  3. @Little Goffy has joined in on the fun.
  4. Another correct answer has been submitted, this time by @WalkingCivilWar. If @Jaded No More is reading, this one is right in your wheelhouse!
  5. We can add @layzie and @Demon Dynasty to the winners' list.
  6. Still pondering? How about if I told you that it is most appropriate that our team colours are red and blue?
  7. Rounding out the Famous Five for this quiz is @demosaw.
  8. You got in early enough to beat @La Dee-vina Comedia who is in fourth spot.
  9. Third place has been snagged by @Deemania since 56.
  10. @Diamond Jim on the podium in second place.
  11. The deluge has begun. First prize goes to @ManDee.
  12. Despite having run out of ideas for these teasers a few weeks ago, the tragic news is that I have devised a few more to taunt you with. This is undoubtedly the easiest of them all and I would expect it won't provide much of a challenge but, hey, not everything in this life has to be difficult. Following is a team of past and present Demons. Harry Petty makes the team (but not the real one ATM, alas) but Tom Sparrow doesn't qualify. What is the common factor that links all of these players? As always, answers in a PM only please. Clues should not be necessary and I am fully expecting a deluge of correct responses very quickly. ========================================================= B: Peter Walsh Harrison Petty Troy Broadbridge H/B: Jake Bowey Sam Frost Daniel Ward C: Oskar Baker Scott Thompson Steven Stretch H/F: Sam Blease Matthew Bate Colin Sylvia F: Michael Newton Jacob van Rooyen Gary Moorcroft R: Steve O'Dwyer Clayton Oliver Jordie McKenzie I/C: Glenn Molloy Dean Chiron Kyle Cheney Aaron vandenBerg SUB: Trent Ormond-Allen COACH: Norm Smith
  13. No news would mean that we're accepting the one week I imagine. I'd be very surprised if the club challenged this.
  14. I don't think it would go down too well with the coach and his teammates if any player did that.
  15. It's a good point. Watson may not be the type we need the most.
  16. Knew I'd forgotten somebody!
  17. It's true that, at 170cm, Watson is on the diminutive side. When North Melbourne drafted the 172cm Brent Harvey, their recruiters were teased by Melbourne's own Ray 'Slug' Jordon for having selected a "jockey". Harvey of course went on to play more games than any other player in history and had a stellar career. Charlie Spargo is 173cm and Kade Chandler 174cm. If you're good enough, height isn't an issue.
  18. So that's two South Australians missing from the team to travel to Adelaide. Grundy and Nibbler had better not walk underneath any black cats or have a ladder cross their path.
  19. Different bird altogether, @McQueen. He called his opponent a fluffy, pink flamingo and the Hawks player felt he had to put his foot down.
  20. Demonstone replied to a post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    What might @WalkingCivilWar and the Demon Army make of this cheeky banner by GWS yesterday?
  21. You have to pick your fights. We can't win this one. A week for that is par for the course. Take it and move on.
  22. How do you feel about their music?
  23. Has it really been that long? How embarrassing.
  24. I've been doing a little research on the name "Yartapuulti" and it apparently relates to that time when Port Adelaide draped entire bays at their ground with tarpaulins in an attempt to disguise the small attendances. Roughly translated, the word means "Yer tarps are ugly". To this day, Port Adelaide supporters pay homage to their heritage by singing along to the classic song "Never Tear Up The Tarps" before each home game.
  25. In round figures, our percentage today was 200% and Hawthorn's was 50%. We doubled their score plus change.
