    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...?

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
