    OK. I'm taking it one quiz at a time and this is the only question I have prepared at the moment. Correct name required.

    Who am I ... 1st Clue:

    I was recruited by the Demons as a 16 year old but circumstances outside football prevented my debut until after I turned 19 years of age.

    I am...?

    Matthew Febey?

    Robert McKenzie 1969-1972

    Well done. It was indeed Robert McKenzie, son of Bob McKenzie who was recruited by Melbourne as a father son selection in 1967 before he turned 17 but suffered injuries in a motor car accident and didn't play in 1967 or 1968. He finally made his debut against Collingwood in Round 14, 1969 by which time he had turned 19 years of age.

    He wore numbers 50, 10 and 2 (his father's number) at various stages during his career and Robbie Flower took over # 2 after McKenzie left the club and, of course, really made it famous.

    McKenzie's father Bob (who was the subject of a previous quiz on this thread) played 125 games for 255 goals between 1948 and 1955 winning premierships in his first and last seasons.

    Who am I ... 2nd Clue:

    I am...?

    Who am I ... 3rd Clue:

    After I finished with the club one of my numbers was taken by a player who was to become one of the club's greats.

    I am...?

    Who am I ... 4th Clue:

    My father's last game for the club was a winning grand final.

    I am...?

    I am Robert McKenzie?

    I didnt know he was involved in a car accident, or perhaps it slipped my memory over time.

    I remember Robert Rose, Bob Roses' son)and the truama he went through also after a car accident.

    Had a big future playing cricket and, ...... nah lets leave it there. I cant bring myself to think where he might play footy.

    Next one and please don't inundate me with guesses. You need to be certain of your answer :lol:

    Who am I ... 1st Clue:

    I played only one game for the Melbourne Football Club.

    I am...?

    137 players have managed just the one game.

    Potentially you could be inundated with 137 guesses. :blink:

    One of my dad's good mates loves telling the story of the bus trip down to Geelong in his final game for the dee's, the story has grown many legs over the years whether it was being told in the old 'former players room' in the Olympic stand( from memory it's been a while!) or in the Coterie rooms, always around time for the trip to the Cattery. The only detail that remains the same is that he neglects to say that not only was it his last game but also his first!

    So at a guess WJ was his one and only game against Geelong in Geelong? In what would have to be the 1960's?

    You're not thinking of Euan Campbell, originally from Old Scotch whose only game was in Round 16, 1968 against Geelong at Kardinia Park, by any chance?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
