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.

Scoring System:

Quiz Master : No points scored if the quiz is guessed correctly with the opening guess.
1 point for 1st clue : 2 pts (if 2nd clue required) : 4 pts (3rd clue required) : 8 pts (4th clue required)
15 points for stumping the masses.

The Masses : 2 Point bonus if you are the 1st to post and get it correct.
4 pts scored on the 1st clue : 3 pts on the 2nd clue : 2 pts on the 3rd clue : 1 pt on last clue.


CLUBHOUSE LEADERS :

24 points: Stingrays -- 6 correct guesses (+ 4 bonus points)
23 points: Whispering_Jack -- 4 correct guesses (+6 for 3 questions) (+ 2 bonus points)
19 points: gsmith12 -- 4 correct guesses (+ 4 bonus points)

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!

My power kicking lead me to the NFL as a punter.

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.

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
