EFC Cryptic Challenge Thread

[Boris_Bewick]

Yeah I'm liking them, just don't know the answers. A lot of posters would be in my opinion a late 80's-90's demographic, myself included. Maybe players from that era, but with tough cryptics like you've been doing. Anyway keep them going there's not much else to do in the off-season

1. I am a player who never really did anything at my time at Essendon.

3. I played less than 50 games for EFC and was then traded to Hungry's team.

4. My surname is the same as a Roald Dahl childrens book,Fantastic Mr ____?

3. My junior footy was played near the railway line that goes up the hill.
