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 )
