Would just like to highlight this game to be played vs Sydney on Sunday. 

All the game day details: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/Team/match-day-information

Summary:

• Family Festival from 11.00 am
• Field of Women - 1.00 pm, where everyone is invited to go onto the center of the MCG.
• First Bounce -  3.20 pm

For those who haven't had a chance to go onto the MCG it is quite an experience, more so it being for a good cause.  Last time I went it was quite moving.

Special jumper will be worn by mfc players:

 

Its a game Jim Stynes hugely backed along with Raylene Boyle, long before he fell ill.

Its a great cause and its great that mfc is participating again.

Have been to all of them. BC has reared its ugly head in my family. The game I look out for every year.

I have also been to all of them. I have lost my mum to BC since the last Field of Women. I will be there on Sunday in her memory.

I can only reiterate what an amazing feeling it is to be in the middle of the MCG in a sea of pink.

Really impressive to be using the 'power' of the 'G in this way. Even going on after a game for a bit of silly kick-to-kick makes you feel like the proverbial whole world could be watching, so I must really be something special to actually be out there for a good reason.

From the outside, it seems like it has become almost a pilgrimage for many, to share a moment of solidariy and visibility over what I'm told can be a very isolating and lonely experience.

Respect to the club, but most of all, thoughts with everyone experiencing cancer, both medically and socially.
