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

    Thanks billy, is Mrs P an athlete?

    Edit: I did a search she has run half marathons, quickly

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
