hello all, this is not really a topic as such, but i'm looking for assistance. i'm from ireland and have been a proud demons fan for over 5 years now. my other half is from melbourne and her whole family are demons crazy. my girlfriends grandfather (RIP) played for melbourne in the 30s, his name was Eric "Tarzan' Glass #16, every past player and older fan i've spoke to speak of him fondly as being a tough bugger who could change a game with his aggression and skill, he left melbourne the year before the won all those premierships in a row and went to williamstown and made their team of the century. he was best mates with norm smith and alan la fontaine. anyway i could go on for hours.

i'm wondering if anybody on this site knows where i could get a replica shirt made from the 30's?? is ther a company that remakes them etc?? its for my future father in law, who is a top bloke and i wanted to get him one framed etc.

ta in advance.

A family member looked after Tarzan Glass in his final years. I was told that Tarzan had a prolapsed disc in his back courtesy of a king hit from behind from Captain Blood Jack Dyer.

I have heard from old time supporters that Tarzan was as tough as nails.

Great story. Good luck with your endeavours.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    ï»żA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
