Honouring our Heritage – The 1964 Premiership team anniversary lunch

What a fabulous idea! I collected my tickets from the Bentleigh Club this morning and heard the event has been an enormous success – nearly sold out! I also heard that one of the 1964 players had been in and hearing of this success commented along the lines of: “…who would have thought so many people would want to listen to us old guys”! I’m guessing the 1964 players are fairly excited and will feel very proud!

While, past attempts by the MFC to connect with our history/heritage have left me cold this lunch has moved me – to be able to see/hear our heroes, in person is amazing!

The lunch feels like something that has been put on for supporters. It’s a long time since I felt personally connected to the Club .

I think it has PJ and PR fingerprints all over it. But whoever thought of it ‘Thank You’.

    I wonder if there will be any official recognition on a game day? I'd love a 50th anniversary guernsey.

    From a marketing perspective it would certainly help the club sell some merch.

    Great timing as well. The day before the QB clash

    I'm going, probably with the son and heir and an ideologically sound daughter...

    Who else will be there?

    The Bentleigh ? Why isn'T it some where decent?

    Only 50 years- at least Roos has a sound culture to build success with this time.

    Sounds like a quality event. I, however, get a shiver up my spine when I hear of our 'heritage events' because it used to detract from the bloody football! Celebrating them every once in a while and when appropriate is a good thing.

    Oops. The 'heritage' word was my interpretation and not mentioned in any MFC material so I'll amend the title (if I learn how :huh:)

    • 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.
