Do you mean the Nathan Jones look alike who became Federal Member for Pink Batts or the young colt from Seymour who was given the number 31 in 1977 but had to wait until the following year to make his debut?

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.

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?

Most certainly am WJ. You have guessed my guess

It would be easlier giving names and addresses of those that died on the titanic, than what we have got so far. :)

Dan Cunningham (1932)

At least you got the right year. Joe Hogan played his one and only game in 1932 but both he and Cunningham missed the Titanic by a couple of decades.

Do I score .5 of a pt for the correct year?

I was all over it with the 3rd clue. The 3rd clue should have been the 2nd clue and the 4th clue should have been the 1st clue. Then my 1st guess would have had a chance of getting somewhat close to being correct. In fact I think I could have nailed it IF your clues were swapped around.

As it was, I was throwing darts at names and hoping for the best :) Whats the next one?

1st clue : I wore long sleeves? lol

You're a tough quiz master. But doing well hosting. Having fun doing it I hope?

If anyone else wants to chair the quiz after WJ is done ,PM me, or put your name forward in this thread and I'll add you to the roster.

For a triple point answer and a holiday in the Greek islands my answer is = Olympic Park

After Hogan played his 1 only game there, the joint was doomed. Well afterall it did go to the dogs.

WJ might want to confirm that is correct.

Olympic Park is correct.

We played 3 games there early in the 1932 season due to the MCG being unavailable as it was being top dressed.

The ground at Olympic Park was known as the Motordome so my guess is that it was used for some sort of racing cars.

I might have a crack at one more quiz and then call it quits for 2012.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
