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

I don't think so. The Melbourne Speedway (Motordome) became Melbourne Olympic Park in preparation for the 1956 Olympics. The Harness Racing was at the showgrounds and the greyhounds were in a different area of Olympic region. That was changed to Broadmeadows, as the Melbourne Greyhound track fell by the construction of city link.

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.

One of my sons (Andy aka Demonland) was in an Under 14 relay team in the Vic champs at Olympic Park one evening and, after winning their semi final, were told their final race was 2½ hours away so as their team manager I thought I'd teach the boys a few finer points in life and took them across to watch the dishlickers going around next door. I thought it might inspire them to run faster but it backfired. Almost missed the start of their race and then finished out of a place. The lads at least learned something about betting and the odds so the evening wasn't wasted.

Anyhow, time for the next and last quiz for the year before we all come back refreshed for 2013:-

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

I am ... ?

I'll have another guess at Nick Smith (2to4). Only because he is bigger than Callery and played mostly at Sandy (when he got on the field)

Silly me! You said under 19's

This is like a lottery. I'll punt on David Cordner simply because he was part of the dynasty. My vague recollection is that he played a couple of years at u19 s, but this may be wrong. I know he loomed as a potential star at that level.

So it's time for another clue -

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

I am ... ?

Who am I ... 2nd Clue:

Although I never won one, I did finish in the top four in the voting for the "Bluey" in 3 of my first seasons at the club.

I am ... ?

I think Stingrays needs some competition.

Yes indeed it is Chris Connolly who I included in response to those who complained that there was too much ancient history in the quiz.

Here are all of the clues and it's a pity we didn't make it all the way to the 4th Clue because that would have been the real stunner:

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

I am ... ?

Who am I ... 2nd Clue:

Although I never won one, I did finish in the top four in the voting for the "Bluey" in 3 of my first seasons at the club.

I am ... ?

Who am I ... 3rd Clue:

A knee injury ended my playing career but I soon turned my hand to coaching. I coached junior teams and then was thrust into the limelight when I was asked to coach in place of the regular coach who was ill. The team I coached in this one off game scored a famous narrow victory.

I am ... ?

Who am I ... 4th Clue:

More lately, I've been associated with a dark and sinister place called "The Vault" where we plot the downfall of great empires.

I am ... Chris Connolly

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. 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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
