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.

Can clearly see which factory Petracca was produced in...

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.

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!!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
