DeeVoted 607 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 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.

DeeVoted 607 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 really? i didn't know wj was a hangman. life never ceases to amaze me. haha well i guess you could say he has hung a few out to dry on here. Not sure he;d like being labelled an executioner: lol
DeeVoted 607 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 Alex Gray ( lex, te-lex) 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.
daisycutter 30,027 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 haha well i guess you could say he has hung a few out to dry on here. Not sure he;d like being labelled an executioner: lol phew, that's a relief then to find out he's just a cop.
DeeVoted 607 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 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.

Who am I ......... (3rd Cllue) An RF signal (1st clue) along with a costume will help you, Use the numbers too I am .....? Who am I ......... (4th Clue) Using the number 272 will reveal my career. I am .....? 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.
DeeVoted 607 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 One for quiz for today. Who am I ......... (1st Clue) I didnt play my first game for Melbourne until I was in my mid 20's I am .....?
gsmith12 491 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 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.

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.
DeeVoted 607 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 None correct yet, but we are narrowing the field down. I'll check again later today. For any new comers 1 guess / 1 post each per clue.

Not to be. 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
Josh 1,420 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Magner probably too obvious these clues are very tricky but I've got nothing else and I love this game
