Tony Sullivan

Sullivan was the reason I asked Deevoted to confirm the number of years/seasons.

Tony had 13 seasons with the Demons.

I sat next to him at the Heroes dinner, lovely bloke from my home town of Ballarat.

Melbourne signed two players who were 15 to play in the U19 because zoning was going to be scraped, the players were David Schwarz and Neitz.

My first thought after reading clue #2 was that it could be Stuie Spencer, but he returned as President after his time in Tassie, not as a player. Beyond that, I'm stumped, and look forward to clue #3.

Not Country in the true sense of the it , more like far outer CBD. A long time ago it would have been country vic.

so, a long time ago..........someone from ferntree gully, diamond creek etc

pre war maybe or 40's, 50's

It wont suprise if there is some conjecture on whether or not this place is still deemed as a country town. I'm going with country, some may not.

So for agruements sake, lets go country, as it seems I have thrown you more than I helped. Diamond Creek,F'Gully etc comes under outer suburbs.

David Schwarz

Another win for durango, not sure if that was a stab in the dark.But none-the-less a good get.

Who am I ......... (1st Clue)

Recruited from country Victoria I spent 12 seasons at the Dees.

I am .....?

Who am I ......... (2nd Clue)

Early in my career I walked out but I returned to play again.

I am .....?

Who am I ......... (3rd Clue)

I signed up as a Demon at the age of 15, then worked my way through the ranks.

I am .....?

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

I am from Sunbury, Won a 'bluey' after some serious knee operations.

I am .....?

Ans = David "The Ox" Schwarz (alas TheoX)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recruited from Sunbury, Schwarz made his AFL debut in 1991.

He was known as "the Ox" for his beast-like build. David played 173 games and kicked 243 goals with the Demons.

A strong centre half-forward or full-forward, he was a crowd favourite due to his courage, aggression and brilliance.

David Schwarz burst onto the AFL scene with Melbourne in the early 1990s as a strong marking forward.

He played centre half-forward or full-forward and in 1994 kicked nine goals straight against Sydney and with some blistering finals performances and agility saw him touted as the next superstar of the game. (including "that" blind turn against Carlton).

Strong marking, agile and athletic, until he suffered numerous knee injuries, playing only two games in 1995 and missing the entire 1996 season. Schwarz resumed playing in 1997 at a weight of 103 kilograms (230 lb), which was 3 kilograms (6.6 lb) above the weight he subsequently carried in 2000,and help the Demons to a Grand Final berth in 2000.

While the great spring was gone, the determination was still there and he reinvented himself with a more bullocking style of game that saw him win the club's best and fairest in 1999 and passing the 100 game mark, something that was unthinkable a few years earlier when knee injuries left his career in tatters. In typical style he celebrated with 20 of his closest mates and his mother, who had brought him up single handed since the age of eight. His father had been murdered.

When crippling knee injuries cut him down in his prime, he fought his way back three times. His final successful comeback was one of the more remarkable in football.

David Schwarz

A true story? Apparently when Neil Balme was coach, Balme stormed into the clubrooms, abusing someone for stealing his personal parking space. Then demanded to know who the F$#@ is Theo-X!! Tell him to move his F%^&%#$ car!.There were a few muffled chuckles, Mr Schwarz had personalized number plates on his car. The Ox.

At 6' 5" weighing over 200lbs, he was going to park anywhere he liked.

Early in my career I walked out but I returned to play again.

Not sure I understand this clue ?

I think he 'sort of' walked out at the end of 1991. Not sure why. Sunbury was definitely a suburb at that time as well.

One thing, which I am sure someone will know the answer too. He was in our U19's team. It appears we didn't have to draft him, even though the National Draft was in action. So did we just put him on our senior list. I would assume that would have applied to our Reserves as well. I'm supposing our Reserves and U19s were like a giant rookie list.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
