The presentations were made during a milestone weekend for the club, as it welcomed back members for the 1991 premiership reunion.

Haynes gave more than 32 years of service to the club as a player, selector and committee member.
A “tough and fearless rover”, he played 106 senior games between 1953 and 1959 and later contributed significantly off the field, helping shape one of the club’s most successful eras.
Pollard devoted 20 years of service to the Bloods as a “brilliant player and respected clubman”.
He played 111 senior games, won two best and fairest awards, and continued to serve the club for many years as a selector and coach.
It was also a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with the 1991 premiership reunion guests.

COVID prevented a planned 30-year celebration, making this 35-year reunion all the more special as former teammates, officials and supporters came together to share memories and celebrate a proud chapter in Bloods’ history.
The club thanks sponsors and everyone who joined in for such a memorable afternoon.
