Until very recently he lived over the road from my work mate in Eltham; still a top bloke by all accounts.

    One of my all time favourites but I do question the part of the story about kicking the late goal against Hawthorn that got us into the finals. Pretty sure that happened in 1964 and not 1959 and that it was the second last game that season.

    It was also interesting to note the decision of the MFC chairman of selectors in 1968 that Hassa didn't have two years left in him at 28 years of age. Hassa had been the club's leading light along with Stan Alves for a few years and we hadn't been travelling very well. His departure saw us return to rock bottom in 1969 and we continued to struggle for years.

    Hassa Mann was honoured by the Melbourne Cricker Club in 2011 receiving the Hans Ebeling Award for outstanding service to the club.

    Adrian Battiston is Jonathan Giles Adelaide based player manager.

    Think we sold Battiston for somewhere around the $200,000 mark to the Swans in the 80s.

    Hassa's goal made the difference between us finishing 1st and 5th in our latest (was going to say last, but I am once again optimistic being pre preseason) premiership year, 1964. (For those too young, 5th then was - no finals, mate).

    As regards his delisting for 1969 - geez, did you have to remind us of the extent of the horrendous, dark depths our beloved club descended in those days !! (It is OK, I will phone LifeLine if needed. Being a longstanding MFC supporter it is in my speed dial!)

    • 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.
