Great initiative by Gawn and Goodwin. They cop a fair bit both these two for their leadership but this is the kind of stuff that unites clubs and plays a huge factor in club culture and unity.

Good to see Mark Williams revving the boys up as well in those videos! As a coach back in his day he would have put in a lot of time and effort into some of those past players he came up against.

Once again, well done Goodwin and Max.

Superb! This is what it’s all about. For so long, we have had little in the way of relations between past and present. It’s SO important to the DNA of this club, even more so when we don’t yet have our home base yet.

Brad Green is my hero - going all the way to Perth and locking himself in a room to avoid going for a run.

Mark Williams made a similar move in his amateur coaching days on a day when past players were invited to come to a match and were invited to join in the circle when singing the club song after a great victory.

After celebrating premierships at the same club this was my best day ever at the footy.

A great initiative by the Leaders of the club, this is what builds real culture and belief.

I hope at our new training complex we build, we get a life member locker room for our mens and womens team so they can stop in and do laps on an oval, access the gym or canteen when in retirement.

Speak to a lot of the old boys who retired and the issues they have with depression because there bodies are banged up and the nature of being a part of a group thats so close one day and gone the next is very tough. We should be opening our doors more and as Choco said this is our life.

Be nice if the club actually promoted this as a prominent story on their website. It is a good feel story.

This is what building "culture" looks like.  Well, its one of the ingredients anyway. Great initiative by whoever thought of it.

The club deserves a pat on the back for this one. Would make a very interesting video for the fans as well.

Love it.

So good.

A lot of the soccer clubs in Europe and the UK usual do a legends v legends match for charity every year. Now AFL does require a higher level of fitness (and there's the EJ Whitten legends game ever year as well), but I would love to see a classic Dees charity match done even if it's at a half pace bit of fun (could even do a mix of old and new).

Imagine seeing the Wiz pass the ball to his son for a goal!

I love this. A lot.
