    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
