Who am I ......... (4th Clue)

I won the Gardiner Medal and another Melbourne player Paul Callery won the Morrish medal in the U19's. both in the same year.

I played only 3 senior games, I also served on the MFC committee.

I am .....?

Ans = Phil Rhoden

Rhoden was recruited by Melbourne from Richmond, who he had trained with, but was originally from the University Blues where he was runner up for the Victorian Amateur Football Association league best and fairest in 1965.

He won the Gardiner Medal in 1968 for his performances in the reserves but played only three senior games for Melbourne.

After leaving Melbourne, Rhoden played three senior matches and four reserves matches for Victorian Football Association team Sandringham in 1972. In 1979 he was a committee member for the Demons.

... and was a prodigious kick of the footy!

[stingrays 24]

I was at that match.

An interesting end to our era. Ridley as coach, Kenneally, Emselle and Vagg the last of them. At least we saw Greg Wells make a start.

Carlton had these great recruits making their way. Bruce Doull, Ricky McLean and David McKay starting their careers.

I had a wry grin when I seen your guess ... Ken Emselle as I originally had him in mind,then decided to go with Rhoden.

Every time I watched Rhoden play for the 2's he was killing it, I often wondered why he couldnt get more time in the 1sts. I put it down to his bald head,he looked older. But geez he was a handy player to have lurking in the 2nds.

Yes Rhoden was great, and was admired by supporters other than MFC. Just couldn't take the next step. We've seen plenty of that.

I think this last quizz was your best, and most challenging with so many options as the choices were narrowed with each clue. Hope you can keep them going.

Correction: As the great Jack Dyer used to say ... he was a prodigerous kick.

I am fast running out of ideas for clues , there are plenty of players to choose from. If someone else steps up to the plate for awhile it would be helpful.

and he was a good ordinary footballer.

Peter Tossol: Number 21, 2 goals 1st game

Peter Tossol coached our local side Corowa to 2 premierships about ten years ago. His first 2 kicks were goals and his opponent was Mick Malthouse. Apparently Mark Jackson (I may have the wrong player but it was a hot headed power foward) let Tossol know "in no uncertain terms" that the second kick should have gone to him. I thought that was funny!
