Club History Are you related to anyone who played for/current Melbourne team?

[Longdroughtdees]

My grandmother's sister on my father's side actually married Ivor Warne-Smith who was a dual brownlow medallist for the Dees back around 100 years ago. Thus codemning the whole family to follow Melbourne! I blame him now instead of my father...
Do you have any family links to the club's significant history?

Can just imagine him popping a vein on the sidelines

In many ways I feel this is a very select thread.

Clearly one of our greats, premiership player 1941, then fought in the 2nd World War, premiership player 1948, Captained the club in 1950 and is being inducted into the Hall of Fame next Wednesday the 31st, along side Neita. Legend.

You have great genes.

Everyone in the Latrobe Valley is related to each other, so there's a good chance I'm related to Declan Keilty.
