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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
