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.

OK. I'm taking it one quiz at a time and this is the only question I have prepared at the moment. Correct name required.

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I was recruited by the Demons as a 16 year old but circumstances outside football prevented my debut until after I turned 19 years of age.

I am...?

Matthew Febey?

Robert McKenzie 1969-1972

Well done. It was indeed Robert McKenzie, son of Bob McKenzie who was recruited by Melbourne as a father son selection in 1967 before he turned 17 but suffered injuries in a motor car accident and didn't play in 1967 or 1968. He finally made his debut against Collingwood in Round 14, 1969 by which time he had turned 19 years of age.

He wore numbers 50, 10 and 2 (his father's number) at various stages during his career and Robbie Flower took over # 2 after McKenzie left the club and, of course, really made it famous.

McKenzie's father Bob (who was the subject of a previous quiz on this thread) played 125 games for 255 goals between 1948 and 1955 winning premierships in his first and last seasons.

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I was recruited by the Demons as a 16 year old but circumstances outside football prevented my debut until after I turned 19 years of age.

I am...?

Who am I ... 2nd Clue:

I had three different jumper numbers during my four years as a senior player with the club.

I am...?

Who am I ... 3rd Clue:

After I finished with the club one of my numbers was taken by a player who was to become one of the club's greats.

I am...?

Who am I ... 4th Clue:

My father's last game for the club was a winning grand final.

I am...?

I am Robert McKenzie?

I didnt know he was involved in a car accident, or perhaps it slipped my memory over time.

I remember Robert Rose, Bob Roses' son)and the truama he went through also after a car accident.

Had a big future playing cricket and, ...... nah lets leave it there. I cant bring myself to think where he might play footy.

Next one and please don't inundate me with guesses. You need to be certain of your answer :lol:

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I played only one game for the Melbourne Football Club.

I am...?

137 players have managed just the one game.

Potentially you could be inundated with 137 guesses. :blink:

One of my dad's good mates loves telling the story of the bus trip down to Geelong in his final game for the dee's, the story has grown many legs over the years whether it was being told in the old 'former players room' in the Olympic stand( from memory it's been a while!) or in the Coterie rooms, always around time for the trip to the Cattery. The only detail that remains the same is that he neglects to say that not only was it his last game but also his first!

So at a guess WJ was his one and only game against Geelong in Geelong? In what would have to be the 1960's?

You're not thinking of Euan Campbell, originally from Old Scotch whose only game was in Round 16, 1968 against Geelong at Kardinia Park, by any chance?

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
