Melbourne signed two players who were 15 to play in the U19 because zoning was going to be scraped, the players were David Schwarz and Neitz.

Sneaky, to catch a crook, think like a crook. IF I am right,that 'missed due to injury' was too throw everyone off the track

Doug Heywood

Sneaky question, and damn good get if you are on the money.

Doug Heywood

Nice lateral thinking however Doug was dropped for the replay final in '48 to make way for Bobby McKenzie.

Wrecker Leahy meets the criteria but it's obviously someone else.

Hmmmm tough one.

The way it was worded made it seem someone that had a injury and couldnt play. So wrecker Leahy was my favorite.

When that was wrong, I was scratching my head. I keep thinking who got droped through an injury.

Bobby Mckenzie couldnt play because of injury in the drawn GF, Heywood got a game, McKenzie came back in from injury,in the GF replay.Heywood got dropped for McKenzie

Have to wait on the result. Gone to the photo :)

ah Jack our resident mfc expert, I got a question for ya.

When Schwarz was running around in the 2's wearing No44?

There was a young gun at FF. Chris Farrell,whatever happened to him?

I thought he and the ox were about par,but he disappeard off my radar.

If my memory is correct he wore No35 in the 2's.

According to Demonwiki:-

Chris Farrell

DOB: 26 March 1970

Games: 0

Goals: 0

From: Assumption College

191cm centre half-forward who was recruited in 1988 and remained on the list through 1991 but failed to play a senior game. Wore number 35 in 1990 and 1991.

Did you ever see him playing in the twos? he looked the goods. The OX was running aroung with his GI haircut. I looked we have got 2 gun forwards on our hands. Schwarz we all know, Farrell looked every bit as good. Perhaps training or studies, was all too much and he quit.?

My memory is a bit hazy but these reserves games I watched, was probably their 1st season on our list. For a talenetd footballer, I always wondered

what happened to him.If you dont know, I will die wondering :)

I'll accept your word on that. I'll stick with my theory,that Mckenzie came back for the replay at the cost of Heywoods spot.

Wiki has Heywood out, with Macca back after injury. We'll have to wait on the judges descsion, if I got it right .

Len Mann played in the 1960 premiership and was at the club in 1964. Not sure if he was injured that year but played very few games and definitely didn't play in the grand final.

Anyway, he's my guess.

Good guess. just cant confirm if he was injured, every chance he was.

Interesting point Deevoted, the publication I was relying on - '125 Years of the Melbourne Demons' by Greg Hobbs clearly states that McKenzie was serving suspension yet after stingrays post I checked 'The Grand Old Flag' by Lynda Carroll and she states that he was injured.

If that is correct I owe you an apology.

Perhaps Jack or someone else may be able to shed some light.

Heroes is a wonderful publication however it sheds no light in the comments on Bobby.

I was lucky enough to attend the Heroes dinner, sensational evening. Surrounded by legends of our great footy club.

No, Bob McKenzie missed the 1954 GF V Footscray because of suspension. (He had a fist fight with North Melbourne's Percy Johnson in the preliminary final). He did NOT miss playing in the1948 GF draw V Essendon because of suspension. He was out injured.

And you should know Bobby! :lol:

Don't forget however, that you did play in another grand final in 1955 when we beat the Pies therefore giving you the distinction of playing in a premiership in your first and last seasons at the club.

Lets not get into apologies, not everything written are the real facts. (looking at Gasoline Wilson here)

The books you guys are using for references, you would think, have been thoroughly researched before going to print.

I still liked by theory,it had a devious twist to it. I vote that it should be correct, even though our "QM" stated none correct yet.

Before my time, I never knew you had a mean streak. Nothing like a good stouse to relive some tension.

I hope it was worth it.

Not like Greg Hobbs to be making basic errors particularly when writing about an individual club. One of the better footy journos over the years.

    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
