Can't be. When did he leave and then return?

My interpretation of the question. He left us and returned. He didn't play for us in 2006, due to injury, so effectively he left and returned to play in 2007.

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.

Just to be clear, are we allowed to google things and research players from the good old days. I have tried not too especially with the first clue or two but I have too now, is everyone else doing the same?

I did think of that too stingrays. But he was always with the club. In effect, didn't leave the club ("left theclub"). Only injured and played with Sandringham and very nearly earned a recall late 2006.

Yeah, I know, but Deevoted is pretty sneaky. I may not be right anyway.

I'll clear up any confusion, as this is a tough. This player left, as in departed the club. Terminated his ties etc etc etc he was no longer a MFC player.

For reasons unknown to me, he decided to come back to the club. Nothing sneaky,just stating the facts as I read it.

I noticed it was down, as I wanted to check a query on a clue a few quizzes back.

If you google a player, select CACHE then select 'text version' to display, in most cases the data has been held, in the cache. Hope that helps you.

It worked for me.

Use any source available to you. you could try bribing WJ or Smithy, I think between the both of them they wrote ALL the data on anything related to the MFC. Jack grew up with Wills & Harrison. And helped with the writing the laws of the game, Well thats the rumour, being humble I doubt he will admit to it. A last resort ring Smithys home, when he isnt there, his wife can help you with some info. I found that out the hard way. She blew a clue that I wasnt aware of. I still dont know if a wandflower is a weed, or should be propagated. :)

I have been following the club since 1952 and have accumulated many books footy records and season guides etc.

I refer to these frequently as memory does fade post the golden years ^_^

Not sure if google is in the spirit of the quiz however I am betting that many use it so I suggest you go for it.

If not for any other reason than to broaden your knowledge about this great club we follow.

No joshing. :blink:

I didn't think it was in the spirit I haven't googled untill this one and I'm no closer. I've only followed Melbourne since 2000 so I'm a pup.

Whats the difference between resourcing via books ...or the net. You still have to have some Idea of what you're on about.

Schools are REPLACING Books with pads. It's just a research tool.

Even with Interpols help I doubt I could prevent anyone googling etc. I did try to crash google at one stage,if you read back heaps of pages back it looks like I had some success when WJ was at the airport (Coolangatta?), but I was a bit too late to stop him posting his guess. IIRC it was the wrong guess anyway. (just kidding)

Some fascinating discussions going on. Working as a team may unravel it. I just checked the 3rd clue,it doesnt give much away other than its another clue. None correct so far.

Mrs Smith might not be so keen to offer assistance from now on. I visage the house being torn to pieces, books and the like being thrown everywhere,searching for the answer on this one. :huh:

3rd clue about Midday tomorrow I hope Josh is enjoying the history lesson.

    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

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
