I am working with disadvantaged indigenous youth here in Alice Springs and had sent an invite to the club to see if any players could come and chat with them. It was a late invite, yet the club found the time to spend just over an hour with these kids.

Angus Brayshaw and Liam Hullet came out, sat down and talked with these kids about a range of issues. Despite them probably not seeing it, it was a great thrill for these kids. Liam and Angus were very well spoken and generous with their time.

As I will write to the club, I can't thank them enough. They gave these kids a real thrill and by sharing their stories they have helped to reinforce a lot of the work that has been and will continue to be done to help these disengaged youth.

Particularly good of the Club as neither player were emergencies and they would have funded their trip! Well done MFC!

petracca and trengove did a similar thing last year didn't they?.. awesome initiative by the club. the least they could do. glad that the dees have such good ties with NT. 

Most likely, Angus talked about the social work that they do.

That was probably before meeting with us, I work with 15-21 year olds

Is this your young group RGRS ?  Taken form the club website, twitter feed. CjXtOSeUoAAzVqr.jpg

Hope you and the youth you work with get to see the game on Saturday and hope you all see us win. 

I echo previous thoughts and a shout out to you and folks like you that help underprivileged kids around the country.

Ah, apologies K.D

Keep up the good work, and convert as many as you can.

Great to see so many positive responses to this, mine is one too.  Well done MFC.

The sad part is that if we stop "selling" our games to the NT, then communities/groups like the above would be starved of these opportunities.  I'm sure RGRS would echo how much this means to the kids/teens/young adults when AFL "stars" have time for them, especially being so remote and often isolated.

Disclaimer; I fully support the idea of playing a home game or two in the NT, providing common sense controls the scheduling of them.

We can also tend to forget that Braysh and Hullet are basically kids themselves; similar age to the young people RGRS works with.  Good on e'm for getting out there.

Seeing I gave a big shout out to the Dee's, I should do the same for Port. Attended a wonderful clinic they put on for schools from the rural community. Would be one of the highlights of these kids year, if not life. They, like our guys yesterday were just brilliant.

 

Byron Pickett was there, let him know he looked much better in red and blue

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
