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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
