I am a Fijian Indian who has been a Melbourne supporter for 30 years. Last year I took my parents and my kids for their first AFL game. It was at Etihad against St Kilda. My son is now 4 years old and my daughter is 6 years old. This year I took my mother inlaw for her first game. Kids did my head in during the game. But after the game, the demon supporters were fantastic. Everyone was so friendly. People we didn't even know were talking to us. After the game they all stoped and talked to my son and gave him high fives!! Some talked to him like he played in the game. He now calls himself Jack Viney and his big sister is big Max! I am Jack watts, his mother is Nathon Jones. And his visiting grandmother is Jesse Hogan! Thank you to all the lovely Melbourne Supporters who made my kids feel special in their first win!

Great to hear Angry! Gotta say, there was a fair bit of swagger from all the fans behind behind the goals around the cheer squad, it was a great atmosphere there yesterday. It was pretty loud too for an Etihad game!

 

Great time to have the kids involved, they are in for a great ride the next 5 or so years!

Are you playing next week Jack?

We're just going to have to accept that we're the best supporters in the business.

 

You're going to have to harden up if you're Jack Watts and your 4 year old is Jack Viney. I wouldn't want to scold him for not finishing his veggies!

 

Great to see kids getting involved and enjoying themselves.

Nice story AngyFijian.

Usually Melbourne fans are not very happy,or nice.

Fortunately,you caught them on a good day.

I have concerns about your daughter being renamed Max Gawn.

But these days anything goes.

Ain't demonland a lovely place these days
