I have put together a short series of 'Who am I?" I may or may not do more, we'll see how its received.

These are players that played for the Dees, anywhere from the 1900's to current players.
You get 1 guess each per clue,so dont bother with multiple guessing, or multiple posts, I will ignore those.
So make the most of your 1st guess.

1st to guess, with or without needing all the clues, and names the player correctly, gets bragging rights.
(No I dont own a chateau at Bulla ,so there wont be any free weekend tickets to the snow in June 2013.)

A new "Who am I" each week, (open for change)
A new clue will be posted each day. (IF required)
There will be 4 Clues on each player .
Good luck.

If anyone notices a poster that does a multiple post or guesses for 1 clue,could they point out the rules
as it WILL be overlooked,regardless if its the correct answer. If that happens will be misleading to other
posters,thinking this post was also incorrect. *reason just gives more posters a chance to have a guess.

Note: I am NOT on here, 24/7 but I will do my best to ID the winner,before too many pointless guesses are posted.
Disclaimer : anyone that cheats gets beaten over the head with a feather. ONE guess per clue.

If anyone thinks they can stump the masses,and want to chair the quiz for the week, all you need to do
is have a min of 5 players with 4 clues on each player.
Send me a PM, I will add you to the roster,then give you a short brief.

    I feel I will not have much of a chance at many of these questions, at best I have memory of 1998- onwards haha

    No it was not a fluke. I am more familiar with MFC and it's players than most, my age helps as I have been a supporter since the early fifties.

    Famer and McKenzie were the only two possibilities IMO and I went for the less obvious.

    Nice thread.

    Let me know if you need some help :)

    Well "young grasshopper" I am not buying into your feeble attempt to sway my agenda ;)

    A history lesson wont hurt to broaden your knowlegde of ex or existing players.

    I will mix it up a bit, so you wont feel left out.

    A wild guess sometimes could be the correct one. its just a bit of fun

    Well "Barry Jones" ... if you keep nailing the correct answer that quickly. I may have to rethink my clues.

    I dont want to be too vague, or make them too easy either.

    I am aware there are lof ot posters here, that have a very good memory of our players. But didnt expect that one to go that quick.

    Let me know if you need some help :)

    I only planned to do a few prior to the Nat. draft. to fill in some time,before everyone will be discussing who we missed,who we snagged etc

    These threads die off after awhile, I wasnt intending to make a career out of it. Just a 'filler' for a few weeks,for a bit of fun.

    If its a popular thread, I may do some more, when training takes a break, and before they get back into the full swing after xmas.

    Thanks for the offer to help. but you might be found guilty of 'insider trading' if I use outside info for clues etc. :)

    I am leaving myself wide open to be hung from the nearest goalpost for misleading clues and facts.

    But the intention is for a bit of fun.so lets not get too serious.

    Suggestions and feedback are more than welcome. ie continue with more once a week?, depending on my available free time.

    Anyway a great pickup on your behalf. Perhaps I need to move you into the 1890 to 1930 category so others get a look in.

    Ok here is the 2nd one,

    For those they cant be bothered to read the opening post re the ground rules.

    You get 1 guess each per day, so dont bother with multiple guessing, or multiple posts, I will ignore those.

    So make the most of your 1st guess.

    Who I am..... (1st Clue)

    I was born in Sydney,played football in West Aust. I was recruited from W.A in the 90's

    I am ......?

    Note: I am not on here 24/7 but I try to ID the winner before too many pointless guesses are posted. Good Luck!

    oops you got me, Late 80's is correct 1987 to be exact. I better double check my facts. Somewhere I read 1990. Didnt matter 1st post got it.

    But none-the-less point taken and noted

    I 'll do another one soonish... call that one a test run.

    I'll toughen up the clues a bit awhile I'm double checking the clues are correct

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
