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

Bump.

This event is tomorrow night if you are interested.

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