Demonstone

@Little Goffy has sent several more suggestions, but he's just being silly now. I like that! "Although the answer is not football related, you might say that it does pay homage to a well-known former Demon." The Demon in question was coached by Simon Goodwin, which may help to narrow the field a little.

I'll sneak this pictorial clue in before you all switch your attention to the W final at Princes Park. Go Demons!

Suggestions that all players share their name with dogs, fish, birds or cars are all incorrect. I'll have a fifth clue for you a bit later on which will surely give the game away. (that is not a clue, by the way)

Nice to see a couple of overnight answers but, alas, both were incorrect. The players don't share a name with US Counties, nor are they all colourblind. I mentioned in the OP that this is my 47th teaser and I have another one prepared. Two more after that would bring the total to a whopping 50 and qualify me for the title of Veteran Setter Of Puzzles.

You'd scarcely believe just how many people have asked for more of these juicy pictorial clues. I'm happy to oblige! See you all tomorrow, with all three prizes still up for grabs.

Can't see the wood for the trees? Vision cloudy? Can't quite get the picture? The answer may become a little clearer if you use this clue correctly.

How about a pictorial clue? Don't mind if I do.

PM me with you answer, @kurtneverdied . edit: The answer was incorrect. There is no link to recruiting zones (nor to any other footy related matter).

A former Melbourne Football Club player. No subterfuge with that clue!

Going on a safari that has a floating bar sounds bloody good to me.

Hmmm, no signs of life so far. And here I was thinking this one was a bit of a gimme. Although the answer is not football related, you might say that it does pay homage to a well-known former Demon.

Is he called 'Shifter' because he's a tool?

Roll up, roll up for another brainteaser, which is dedicated to Alan Jarrott seeing as it's number 47. The usual format applies and the rules are the same as always (ie - all answers in a PM only please). What do the past and present players in today's team have in common? I reckon it's a pretty easy one and, in light of recent developments, considered awarding prizes to the first ten correct entries. However, Demonland has much more integrity than that so it will be the top three only. ================================================================================ B: Keidean Coleman Paul Weston Jared Rivers H/B: Christian Salem Gary Pert Josh Gibson C: Toby Bedford Dane Swan Caleb Windsor H/F: Dean Kent Lance Franklin Jordan Clark F: Zac Bailey Aidan Johnson Robbie Fox R: Rowan Marshall Dustin Martin Luke Parker I/C: Rhys Stanley Bailey Scott Nik Cox Harry Sharp COACH: Adam Simpson

That was my usual reaction to watching us this year.

It's weird seeing "AFL" and "integrity and fairness" in the same sentence without the qualifying "lack of".

Geelong request their home game v Collingwood be played at the MCG every year because of the extra $$$ the massive crowd generates.

Or maybe that's Lego's entry for the Pullet Surprise?

Perhaps it's just a cockup?

I wouldn't be happy either if that was the best moustache I could grow. It's like a cricket match - eleven each side.

Recruited from Narnia?

Why would @Ghostwriter want a dolphin for an avatar? What would be the porpoise?

If you're going to correct somebody ...

Bring back the trumpeter in the velvet jacket.

I think you might be well and truly in the minority on this issue. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-10/nobody-seems-to-want-an-afl-wildcard-round-so-why-is-it-here/105990976

I was was stuck in a huge traffic jam this afternoon not all that far from AFL House. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocked on my window. I rolled down the window and asked “What is going on?”. “Anti-State Of Origin activists have kidnapped the entire AFL Commission and they’re asking for a $50 million ransom. Otherwise, they’re going to douse them all in petrol and set them on fire. We’re going from car to car, collecting donations”. “How much is everybody giving, on average?” I asked him. The man replied “Roughly five litres”.
