Who I am? A guessing quiz.

[DeeVoted 582]

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 done Smithy! I didn't think it right for me to enter.

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!

[red and blue forever 781]

damn... I Better take back my guess then.

thought I was on to something there...

[DeeVoted 582]

Bennett was recruited in the 80's, not 90's

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.
