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

Activities included kicking for goal,  aerial , contest work etc. I noticed the following players not in match simulation Jack Viney  running laps and looks fine for round one . I think Kolt looks like he’s im

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
