I was lucky enough to be able to take my kids today to the team photos today  , the experience was great for everyone 

A special moment for us and to be able to cherish and to show my wife RIP 

It was well worth the money. the players all smiled and we had a ball 

Did anyone else go along ?  

thankyou

Mark, my full condolences to you mate. I remember last September you mentioned your wife was terminally ill. Glad your kids had an absolute ball!

If only there was someone on here who could get the message to Dec Keilty that he's an AFL player now and the rules state he has to go get a fancy haircut! 

Spencer I've given up on, but I like his plan that if he grows a beard he might play more like Gawn.

Damn, what a dream come true that would be for Demon loving kids. Gives me goosebumps. It's even more than running out with the team IMO, because you can frame that, hang it up on the wall and remember it forever.

I'd probably have told my kids to get out of the way so I could squeeze in too :)

Well done to all involved at the club for that, included the players. I hope it gives something you and the kids can cherish forever, Mark!

part of the deal is that we also get a framed picture sent to us , this picture was taken by another demon supporter for me , So i could have it today. and yes I think i wanted just a little more than the kids , pretty sure it was 4 kids not 3 and 1 adult ...  you could have unto 5 people in your picture, 

thank you it will be cherished for a long time.

I went along today Mark as part of the Casey Demons/Melbourne supporter group. 4 of us had our picture taken with the team. As a supporter group we get invited to participate in the team photo shoot.

All of us commented on your family photo and we loved the way the players lifted up your youngest son so he could actually be seen in the photo.

It will certainly be a treasured memory.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
