Checker Hughes was coach of a very successful MFC team, that won 4 premierships. He also gave MFC the name "Demons" surely he is worthy of being in the 150 Heroes Book?

Not a player maybe?

Legend of a coach though, and in terms of most inlfuential people in the MFC's History I would say he would be in the top 3 or 4.

True, this is why he missed out.

Had to play for Melbourne.

This is also why guys like Sam Allica and Jim Carwell didn't make the hero's list.

the criteria on the 150 Heros was that they played 100 games for Melbourne (With the exception of a few), Best & Fairests, Brownlow Medallists, State Representatives, Premiership players and overall Contribution to the club.

But the underlying criteria is that they had to have played for Melbourne.
