Last weeks meeting
 
Notes from last weeks meeting: 
  • Portsea Camp - 7 to 9 October 2016 - BYO Pillows, sleeping bags, snacks, alcohol
  • nominating committee outcomes for 2017/2018 board (see separate entry in bulletin for further details)
  • Judith was selected to be a Victoria police mentor for a Senior Sargent (part of Community Engagement) - this is for 1 year.
  • We need your preloved eye glasses and sunglasses - please canvass friend/family - give to Len B
The weeks meeting had a footy theme and just about everyone came along resplendent in their club colours - it was good to see Max W (Bulldogs) and Mike P (Swans) sitting together for their dinner.
 
Speaker was Harold "Hassa" Mann - Melbourne Football Club ex Grand Final player, club captain, Australian Football Hall of Fame inductee in 2013 
  • Harold got his nickname "Hassa" from his cousin Len (who also played footy) because he couldn't pronounce "Harold"
  • He was recruited from Rutherglen
  • Hassa was in the Grand final winning sides in 1959, 1960 and 1964
  • He was club Captain in 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1968
  • He was the leading goal kicker in 1967 and 1968
  • He represented Victoria on 8 occasions 
  • He played 178 games with Melbourne and kicked 193 goals
  • Hassa was in the All Australian side in 1966
  • After he finished with MFC he went to Western Australian Football League and was Captain/Coach with South Fremantle 
  • He coached Caulfield in the VFA in 1981 and coached Eltham to a premiership in 1982
  • In 1991 he was a Director on the MFC 1991 board and was CEO from 1992 to 1997
1465 players have played in a premiership side - 128 players have played in 3 or more premierships
Players go through a range of emotions leading up to a Grand Final. "Good Teams don't lose Grand Finals"
