    Wow....i have just seen this..

    Bought a tear of pride...i think i now understand what the Blazer is to this club

    http://www.youtube.com/DeeTVofficial

    WYL I have been around log enough to have seen guys like HM play.

    They played in a golden era for the MFC like Brisbane and Geelong of recent times.

    I can understand how Hassa Mann feels, I know a couple of his contemporaries personally.

    They are very proud of the club and people they played with.

    I saw them, their pride is not misplaced.

    I am happy they have been presented with Blazers, I am happy that they have been honoured in this way.

    They richly deserve it

    However it is now half a century ago.

    I struggle with how wallowing in events of 50+ years ago helps the players of today or the supporters who want success in 2012 and beyond.

    I struggle with how this gets us new members

    We have to remember that our glory days are 50 years ago.

    It is well and truely time to make some more glory days.

    PS I wish I could spell as well as HM played

    It is a connection O.D. That Jack Trengove has with H.D. Mann....a link of continuity

    Once those wins start rolling it will mean more to our new list.

    Hassa was spot on.

    I hope JT turns into HM mk.2 mate.

    I just struggle with how a blazer will do it.

    Especially one I dislike

    I am glad they both like it as they are the ones that have to.

    Harold Ball was the same age as our new list of players when he died....a young man...

    It reminded me of the film "Dead Poets Society" when the kids are looking at the old photos of past students....kids looking at kids

    I will agree i think this is the last "Old" tradition the club should have...But i now understand what that Blazer means...Thanks Hassa.

    I had his number as a 4 year old on my back.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
