Vale Fred Macquire 💙💛🖤

Sadly, our Club is mourning the loss of one of our great supporters, and a member of one of the Club’s great families.

Fred Macquire has passed away, aged 88.
Fred’s sons, Russell and Nick, both played for, and captained, the Club. Both were members of our premiership team in 1990. Fred’s grandson, Russell’s son Elliott, also represented the Club with great distinction.

Fred’s work as a bookmaker meant that his attendance at games was limited, however he was a committed supporter and generous sponsor.
After his retirement, Fred regularly attended games, wholeheartedly committed to the gold, black and blue cause.

Twice, Fred was awarded our trophy for the Club’s Most Valued Supporter – and honour which was richly deserved. No matter the Club’s fortunes on field, Fred’s enthusiasm for the Panthers never wavered.
Our deepest and most sincere condolences to Judy, Russell, Nick and Joanne and to all members of the extended Macquire family.

Fred was a quiet, unassuming man, however his passion for the Club and desire to see the Panthers succeed was never in doubt.

He will be greatly missed.

VALE – BERNIE MAHER

All at the Mentone Panthers’ Football Club mourn the passing of Bernie Maher. Bernie passed away on 21 October, aged 81.

Bernie’s time at the Old Mentonians’ Football Club was short but he left us with great memories.

After a long career in the Eastern Suburbs Churches Football Association, Bernie joined the Panthers in 1977 as assistant to Paul Rafter and playing coach of the Reserves. In 1978 he succeeded ‘Pud’ as senior coach.

Bernie was the 201st player to represent the Club.

His enthusiasm for the game and our Club was outstanding. He had a wonderful knowledge of football and was instrumental in the development of many who would go on to be great players for the Panthers.

Bernie was a wonderful clubman, and he knew and stressed the importance of commitment to a football club on and off the field. He made a valued contribution to our Club and will forever remain a part of the Panther family.

It’s offical! Tonight at the VAFA Awards Night the Mentone Panthers Football Club received their premiership flag. This flag represents the hard work on and off field to get this great club back in the competition. Stay tuned, the rebuild continues….

What a day this will be 💛🖤💙
