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

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?

I'm not really sure WJ. I was just a baby at the time.

I googled and liked the name. but, your a walking demon encyclopedia

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)

(never heard of him either)

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.

Unless my memory is playing tricks with me. Wasnt the trots (harness racing) and the dishlickers racing also held there?.

Indeed.

The dogs even had monkey jockeys in silks strapped to their back .

Thats entertainment!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
