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.

Brian Dixon?

Well done!! It is indeed Brian Dixon. Must admit the 1st 2 clues didnt give much away,though I thought Smithy or WJ may have twigged on the Ryan clue. Read through the info at the end, and the clues should bring it all together.

Well thats the easy quiz done and dusted, now for some hard ones lol.

I am .....?
Who am I ......... (4th Clue)
I began my playing career at the tender age of 17.
Got sacked by the Swans, Was outspoken in one the biggest fights of all time.
I am .....?
Ans = Brian Dixon
It was said he can tell you exactly how many possessions he had during a game. With a wonky left foot, today he would be cruxified on here for being a shocking kick.
Dixon played 252 VFL games for Melbourne between 1954 and 1968, playing mostly on the wing. He had a stellar football career, playing in five premierships, winning Melbourne's Best and Fairest in 1960, while in 1961 he was selected in the All Australian Team and he also won the Tassie Medal for his performances at the 1961 Brisbane Carnival. In 2000 he was named in Melbourne's Team of the Century.
Despite still playing football for Melbourne, he entered parliament in 1964, as the member for the now abolished seat of St Kilda, representing the Liberal Party.
Being from the moderate wing of the party he clashed with then Premier Henry Bolte, especially over the hanging of Ronald Ryan which Dixon strongly opposed. (SEE clue 2)
Brian currently travels the world representing de:TAFISA and ASFAA. He is also president of AFL South Africa and takes a keen interest in other countries playing Australian rules football.

I must admit deevoted that i took "served my country" as actually playing some sport or serving during a war

so i focussed on things like the Galahs, (RDB Hassa etc etc), Cricket (Maxie etc) or Service men etc

I excluded AA because they didn't actually serve in that capacity but i suppose its probably just semantics anyway

keep em coming

Does a State politician serve his country ? I too looked at all the ex players who served in the wars.

Maybe a tad misleading but nevertheless a ripping effort from Deevoted.

Perhaps 'represented" should have been used in place of 'served', I twisted a few clues, as being Brian Dixon, I didnt want to give much away until the3rd clue. as for Saving Private Ryan. Dixon tried to stop Ronald Ryan from the hangman, I knew that was a tough clue, but if anyone remembered,it was a clue. Then the Country was related to his services related to the VFL/AFL duties promoting here and overseas. Of course the biggest fight was the merger he was involved in, arguing with Ridley etc. opposing the move.

Yeah, I remember the the hanging of Ryan in 1967 very well. My uncle was the policeman that put the shotgun to Ryan's head through the car window in January 1966. He said that Ryan was a likeable guy and that Walker was a real gangster type. My uncle left the force soon after, and was never comfortable with the hanging of Ryan.

    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,
