    Brian Dixon?

    Well done!! It is indeed Brian Dixon. Must admit the 1st 2 clues didnt give much away,though I thought Smithy or WJ may have twigged on the Ryan clue. Read through the info at the end, and the clues should bring it all together.

    Well thats the easy quiz done and dusted, now for some hard ones lol.

    I began my playing career at the tender age of 17.
    Got sacked by the Swans, Was outspoken in one the biggest fights of all time.
    I am .....?
    Ans = Brian Dixon
    It was said he can tell you exactly how many possessions he had during a game. With a wonky left foot, today he would be cruxified on here for being a shocking kick.
    Dixon played 252 VFL games for Melbourne between 1954 and 1968, playing mostly on the wing. He had a stellar football career, playing in five premierships, winning Melbourne's Best and Fairest in 1960, while in 1961 he was selected in the All Australian Team and he also won the Tassie Medal for his performances at the 1961 Brisbane Carnival. In 2000 he was named in Melbourne's Team of the Century.
    Despite still playing football for Melbourne, he entered parliament in 1964, as the member for the now abolished seat of St Kilda, representing the Liberal Party.
    Being from the moderate wing of the party he clashed with then Premier Henry Bolte, especially over the hanging of Ronald Ryan which Dixon strongly opposed. (SEE clue 2)
    Brian currently travels the world representing de:TAFISA and ASFAA. He is also president of AFL South Africa and takes a keen interest in other countries playing Australian rules football.

    I must admit deevoted that i took "served my country" as actually playing some sport or serving during a war

    so i focussed on things like the Galahs, (RDB Hassa etc etc), Cricket (Maxie etc) or Service men etc

    I excluded AA because they didn't actually serve in that capacity but i suppose its probably just semantics anyway

    keep em coming

    Does a State politician serve his country ? I too looked at all the ex players who served in the wars.

    Maybe a tad misleading but nevertheless a ripping effort from Deevoted.

    Perhaps 'represented" should have been used in place of 'served', I twisted a few clues, as being Brian Dixon, I didnt want to give much away until the3rd clue. as for Saving Private Ryan. Dixon tried to stop Ronald Ryan from the hangman, I knew that was a tough clue, but if anyone remembered,it was a clue. Then the Country was related to his services related to the VFL/AFL duties promoting here and overseas. Of course the biggest fight was the merger he was involved in, arguing with Ridley etc. opposing the move.

    Yeah, I remember the the hanging of Ryan in 1967 very well. My uncle was the policeman that put the shotgun to Ryan's head through the car window in January 1966. He said that Ryan was a likeable guy and that Walker was a real gangster type. My uncle left the force soon after, and was never comfortable with the hanging of Ryan.

    • 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.
