Great move by the club.  We were outgrowing Luna Park and being able to have it back at the 'G can only be a good thing!

Not sure my Grand daughter would agree Wb. She loved going to Luna Park and it was a sneaky way for me to add the Dees to her fun. 

Not sure I can entice her to G she will ask what are we doing Pa? Have some thinking to do on how to get her along.

There are rides and games that will be set up in front of gate 2 at Yarra Park. There will be plenty of kids activities. Shouldn't be hard to convince

First world problems.

My 3 year old only knows 1 players name and it is he that shan’t be spoken of at Port Adelaide.

She is 7 and fairly switched on. It is hard to put one over her.

Here is the clubs notice of Family Day next Sunday. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-02-27/2018-family-day-guide

It seems all our sponsors will be there with fun activities for kids:

  • Enjoy badge making and colouring in at our Arts and Craft station!
  • iSelect Obstacle Course
  • Zurich photo booth
  • Handball “around the world” at the China Southern Airlines handball target station
  • Visit the Sporting Globe virtual kicking booth
  • Additional activations from club partners including Fernwood, Hertz, Chisholm, New Balance, Haymes and VGRF
  • Face painting, balloon animals, posters, giveaways and more!
  • Melbourne's AFL and AFLW teams will be presented on stage at the conclusion of the day

I suspect there wasn't enough space at Luna Park to host all these activities.  The MCG brings people closer to our spiritual home and gives sponsors the rare opportunity to interact directly with members/fans.

Good weather forecast so should be fun for all!

Take her to Luna Park after. Simple.

 

So,  was going today?

I am not there [and frankly didn't know about it] however as an East Melbourne resident I was cursing about all the loud speaker announcements blaring out for the last few hours.  Suddenly I heard "A Grand Old Flag" [1st verse only] sung with gusto.  Now they can make as much noise as they like! :D

To anyone that attended. 

Did anyone see Harmes out there?

I noticed Robbo didn't call out his number and name on stage at the end when all players of both teams were getting called up. 

More curious than anything as Robbo made it clear why Daisy was absent but no mention of Harmes.

Just back from the family day at the G.  The day was held in the car park just south of Jolimont station.

I looked at the empty field it was being held in and imagined a training ground running NW to SE, its about the size of a little bit smaller footy field eg carltons ground. No trees  to remove only level the ground and install goal posts and paint the lines.

As cricket Victoria is now at our old training ground, its only fair we take their old training ground. Could we move our training gym and the rest to the now no longer used rooms of cricket Victoria?

Also use the new levelled oval used today for the family day.

Arnt we the football arm of the MCC?  So  train at the MCC.

Just got back. Went with my younger brother and his niece and nephew. For a 22 degree day, it was really hot. My legs feel really sunburn. The little one got his photo with Jones, Hogan and Gawn. Haven even held him up for the photo. Bought my niece her first Melbourne jumper, so hopefully that’ll help bring her back to Demons.

The lines for Hogan and Gawn were punishing. With no shade, I’m sure I got pretty badly burned. Did anyone notice that a few of the female players were doing the face painting? Got a good shot with my niece. 

Dunno how we did it at Luna Park for so long. Was really packed just there.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
