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

    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!

    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.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
