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.

John G Leith.

Drawn game round 7 1901 at Brunswick St Oval.

Melbourne 5.6.36

Fitzroy 5.6.36

Well done Sherlock! I hate to think how much effort was put into digging that out. Maybe you can explain to the viewers how good he was in his prime. I wasnt around to see him play, but he sounds like a decent player.

Jack Leith was named one of our 150 heros in 2008, he played at CHF in the 1900 GF, was named one of our best and kicked one of the four goals scored.

Originally from Geelong, he played for Carlton in the VFA before crossing to Melbourne in 1896.

He played 133 games, kicked 162 goals for MFC and was regarded as the games most brilliant forward of the time.

That's all I'm able to remember.

Dont forget 1 guess 1 post per clue Good luck on this one.


Who am I ......... (1st Clue)

Canned Heat, John Denver had hit songs that will help with where I am from.

I have good bloodlines.Perhaps those bloodlines slightly differ from mine.

A related member of my family played elsewhere

I am .....?



I edited the clue. After I posted it. I had a change of heart, its one thing to not let the cat of the bag too quickly,but it originally

gave nothing to work with I added 2nd clue into the 1st clue.

Now there's a loaded question if I ever seen one. :unsure: If they played a senior game for MFC, you can count them in as a possible.

Love to help you out but thats your job to work out the clue. my job is to confuse, bluff and make it hard to guess correctly.

If you what a extra hint, its going to cost ya. :)

my asking was based upon the notion of Melbourne reserves. This could either be the Dees 2nds or when the allignments started , their 1sts if you see what i mean

playing in a Zebbies gf could be seen as being our reserves :) etc thats all

    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,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
