Unless my memory is playing tricks with me. Wasnt the trots (harness racing) and the dishlickers racing also held there?.

I don't think so. The Melbourne Speedway (Motordome) became Melbourne Olympic Park in preparation for the 1956 Olympics. The Harness Racing was at the showgrounds and the greyhounds were in a different area of Olympic region. That was changed to Broadmeadows, as the Melbourne Greyhound track fell by the construction of city link.

    One of my sons (Andy aka Demonland) was in an Under 14 relay team in the Vic champs at Olympic Park one evening and, after winning their semi final, were told their final race was 2½ hours away so as their team manager I thought I'd teach the boys a few finer points in life and took them across to watch the dishlickers going around next door. I thought it might inspire them to run faster but it backfired. Almost missed the start of their race and then finished out of a place. The lads at least learned something about betting and the odds so the evening wasn't wasted.

    Anyhow, time for the next and last quiz for the year before we all come back refreshed for 2013:-

    Who am I ... 1st Clue:

    I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

    I am ... ?

    I'll have another guess at Nick Smith (2to4). Only because he is bigger than Callery and played mostly at Sandy (when he got on the field)

    Silly me! You said under 19's

    This is like a lottery. I'll punt on David Cordner simply because he was part of the dynasty. My vague recollection is that he played a couple of years at u19 s, but this may be wrong. I know he loomed as a potential star at that level.

    So it's time for another clue -

    Who am I ... 1st Clue:

    I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

    I am ... ?

    Who am I ... 2nd Clue:

    Although I never won one, I did finish in the top four in the voting for the "Bluey" in 3 of my first seasons at the club.

    I am ... ?

    I think Stingrays needs some competition.

    Yes indeed it is Chris Connolly who I included in response to those who complained that there was too much ancient history in the quiz.

    Here are all of the clues and it's a pity we didn't make it all the way to the 4th Clue because that would have been the real stunner:

    Who am I ... 1st Clue:

    I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

    I am ... ?

    Who am I ... 2nd Clue:

    Although I never won one, I did finish in the top four in the voting for the "Bluey" in 3 of my first seasons at the club.

    I am ... ?

    Who am I ... 3rd Clue:

    A knee injury ended my playing career but I soon turned my hand to coaching. I coached junior teams and then was thrust into the limelight when I was asked to coach in place of the regular coach who was ill. The team I coached in this one off game scored a famous narrow victory.

    I am ... ?

    Who am I ... 4th Clue:

    More lately, I've been associated with a dark and sinister place called "The Vault" where we plot the downfall of great empires.

    I am ... Chris Connolly

    • 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.
