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.

Wow, small world! Too bad I threw you, and most everyone else of the track,that was my intention with my 1st clue,then work my way back to tie it all together. If only you had thought outside the square on the 2nd clue, I thought WJ being in that line of work,might have caught on.

    I like your thinking ,but not who we are after.

    Better think long and hard on this one,the clues on this quiz requires some deep thought.

    Its payback time for me. So many of my early quizzes never got out of 1st gear. I still remember WJ blowing the RDB quiz on me.

    I should have saved that one for now, while they are away wining and dining on the high seas.

    None correct yet, its a tuffy. But they all cant be easy. I have a mixed bag of clues, some may do your head in, others with a bit a research will give you the answer. Some will get it right off the bat. All I will say, read the clue carefully. ie the Dixon 1st clue, if you assumed served country meantserved in a war etc, that was meant to send you off on a wild goose chase, if you re-read the clue, then questioned why the word 'served' was used,instead of played for,represented.the key was served my state, as opposed to played for. If you went off on the wild goose chase, it was a trap, the saving ryan clue was to send you further deeper into the wilderness, Hidden meanings,look deeper in some cases.

    2nd clue will be posted soon,as this one is tough. :)

    ANS = Robbie Flower
    Recruited from the South-Eastern suburb of Murrumbeena, Flower fit nobody's vision of what a superstar footballer should look like. He was frail and shortsighted, but when he stepped onto the field Flower was in all senses of the word a Demon.
    Without persistence he might never have been picked up, rejected numerous times by the club he had supported his whole life before finally being accepted for a tryout with the Fourths in 1971.
    A clearance wrangle with Murrumbeena kept him out of the fourths for a year before making his debut in 1972. By midway through the next year he was in the seniors.
    He was a wingman for most of his career and was characterised by his ability to create space for himself and kick and handpass the ball with extraordinary accuracy.
    He possessed speed, surefootedness and unrivalled tactical awareness.
    In Ken Piesse's " The Complete Guide to Australian Football" Flower's player summary quotes Brent Crosswell "...beat Flower and you could just about retire from League Football because anything else smacked of anti-climax."
    Wayne Schimmelbusch in the same publication said: "I paid more attention to Robert Flower than any other opponent."
    Jim Main and Russell Holmesby mention Flower's thin physique and low playing weight-68 kilograms. It was assumed early in his career that he could not succeed because of his "wiry" frame.
    He sustained injuries that kept him from appearing in another 52 games but he still played 272 out of a possible 324 games and was never left out of the senior side when available.

    Interesting guess, lol why flower?

    A combination of RF signal and wandflower - my wife knows a little about ballet and deserves the points.

    My first thought was to check Steven Smith's middle name thinking if it was Michael then we would have SMS.

    Not to be.

    Well done getting the RF clue, that was excellent pick up. Actually the ballet clue was 50% of something.... a tutu (or two two in this case) use one two gives you his jumper No add the RF, and you get the idea from there. :)

    hmmm....i thought 50% of a pas-deux was 1 so i was thinking of players wearing no 1

    as for wandflower...never heard of it, but that's not surprising given my lack of knowledge on ballet (lol).....give your wife a pat on the back

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
