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 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?

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
