Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but probably deserves its own thread...

We whinge about the things that the club "gets wrong", but the Breast Cancer Network initiative is certainly one thing that we should all be proud of our club for getting behind. I know a number of females who have gone to the "pink" game and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and they aren't Melbourne supporters!

This clip just highlights the importance of ensuring the awareness of breast cancer remains at the forefront of our minds. Especially for those that are fortunate enough to still have the most important female in their lives around - our mums.

    My mum had breast cancer when I was in high school. I remember going with her to when she got her radiation therapy at Peter Mac. I'd read books in the waiting room only half paying attention, mind meandering around with other thoughts. The staff there were fantastic and supportive.

    So glad the club gets behind this cause in a big way. As if I couldn't love them any more.

    Go dees :D

    Great clip.

    How good is Meg Viney? Married Todd, produced Jack and looked after Jesse.

    A few years ago I was lucky enough to be on the ground making up the 'pink lady' and it was a really moving experience - strangers crying together, hugging each other, comforting one another and sharing their stories. Plenty of smiles and laughter, too.

    My mum has breast cancer and hail, rain or storm would not stop me from attending this match.

    I was on the ground for the Pink Lady game last year (I think it was 2014) with 1000's of other men and woman. I got tapped on the shoulder by a lady who I grew up with and went to kindergarten and primary school with. I have not seen her since I was about 15. She does not follow Melbourne but attends this game every year as she was diagnosed with breast cancer in her late 20's.

    Its a small world and I am amazed how this disease , despite how terrible it is, brings people together regardless of whom they support.

    Loved it, especially Petraccas mum, what a character!

    My wife lost her Mum to BC and was her carer during her early 20's after a few years battle she passed.

    Always support this charity, one step ever closer to a cure is a great thing to strive for.

    What amazed me was that someone that young would actually have hard copy porn.

    Surely Petracca has heard of the internet?

    It's a great cause. Thankfully, we're one of the lucky ones. My wife is well 10 years after chemo and radiotherapy for breast cancer. She was just 34 at the time.

    She graced the MCG in the first year of the pink ladies.

    Somehow don't think it's hardcopy porn in his drawer!

    Its something that you can probably never understand unless you or a loved one has experienced it.

    Events like this at least make everyone watching truly think about it - stay strong!

    My mum (a diehard MFC supporter) was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago which she managed to beat.

    She made it onto the field for the first pink lady event and we stood with her proudly.

    Unfortunately it came back in her pancreas and mum died 4 years ago.

    This night always makes me think of her and miss her even more than usual.

    Go Dees.

    That article isn't about mothers but it seemed the best available thread to put this. Part of it says:

    "JUNIOR supporters and members are the future of the Melbourne Football Club.

    And on Tuesday, May 12 from 5.30-7pm, some of the Melbourne players will be in at the club calling junior members to say ‘thanks’.

    If you have a child who’d love to receive a phone call from a player, simply click here and complete their details and stand by the phone."

    There will be lots of very happy kids tomorrow night!!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
