MELBOURNE will induct former captains David Neitz and Shane McGrath into the club’s Hall of Fame when it holds its 10th anniversary of the Foundation Heroes.

Foundation Heroes was founded in 2008 by the late, great Jim Stynes.

This year’s event will be open for all members and supporters to attend – not just for Foundation Heroes.

Neitz, one of Melbourne’s greatest ever players, featured in a club record 306 games from 1993-2008.

He captained the club in 175 matches from 1998-2008 and kicked a career total of 631 goals – both club records in their respective statistics.

McGrath, who captained Melbourne in 1950, was a member of the club’s 1941 premiership.

Despite missing three seasons due to war service, he later returned to play in Melbourne’s 1948 side. He is regarded as one of Melbourne’s greatest full backs.

This year’s Foundation Heroes event promises to be a special night of celebration and fundraising.

    Good move to allow supporters to attend not just FH. Much more egalitarian than a room full of supporters with money. Much prefer to be sitting with the supporters from the outer than those from corporate boxes or the long room. We have to eliminate the perception that Demon supporters are from the top end of town or attended Melbourne Grammar. Yeah I know we have a few players from Brighton and Carey.

    With the exception of rum it sounds like an ideal life style.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
