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.

Who am I ......... (1st Clue)
I am a well known player.I served my team, State and Country.
I am .....?
Who am I ......... (2nd Clue)
In the movie Saving Private Ryan. I also tried to save Ryan.
I am .....?
Who am I ......... (3rd Cllue)
My football journey lead me to be involved with 2 other clubs (non playing)
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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
