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 step mum has just been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and the sooner we can find quicker remedies for all cancers the better

    Well done MFC

    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!!

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
