This Sunday 23 February between 12pm - 2pm.

Yet another significant event for the club totally lacking in promotion. The family day was first publicised by email on 19 December and there has been nothing of note since. If the club want to sell memberships and merchandise on the day they should have been promoting it on a weekly basis.

Generally an excellent day if there aren't too many in attendance and the players are very good with the kids these days.

Both brothers and their children are going.  Bf can’t make it, so just me and them. Looks to be a good day

Don't agree poita there was a big promo on front of the website last week for this weekend's 4 events. Being 2nds game, seniors game, ladies game and family day today. I also got an email to the same effect. Looks ok to me.

You seem ambivalent about whether you want people to turn up or not.


Had a very brief chat with HB. Anyone who thinks he is hoping to play half way or late through the season is mistaken. 

He reckons he will be going much earlier than that.

He also picked up a kids footy completely different size to what he would be used to and drilled the kid he was kicking it to 30 meters away with a picture perfect drop punt.

Early crow of the year. He can beat Petracca in the b&f.

Won't happen, he won't play before mid year.

Had a great day despite the heat. All the players were friendly. Casey Sherriff was lovely to my niece.

Nephews had a great ti e with the dart footys. Lots of fun activities for them. Sad to think they’ll be too old for this in a few years.

No sign of Daisy Pierce. My niece is dying to meet her.

Went along for the first time with my girls and they had a great day out.

Highlight of the day was, of course, the face painting.  That's what my four year old says anyway.  The heat was pretty oppressive but there was enough shade around when you needed a break.

All the players were friendly and approachable.  Waited close to an hour in the line to get Max to sign my daughters jumper, but the wait was worth it.  The way he interacts with the fans, from young kids through the older generation, is first class.  There is a reason why he is likely to be installed as captain.  

There was plenty to do and lots of freebies given out as the day went on.  Overall the club did a great job with it and we'll be back next year.

At one stage there was a game going on where two players were getting rolled up in bandages.  As the pressure mounted I saw ANB fumble his bundle of bandages and drop them on the stage floor.  Classic.

Good day - collected my scarf with the digital membership - could collect my heart out all year but not a filth .

Not as many there as Luna park ( imo )  but players were great . Big lines to see Maxy and co . 

Charlie was great with my 4 year old- his favourite player

I reckon Tom Sparrow is in for a-huge year.

the boys look fit -

Sun was damn hot . 

Nice day Go dees 

Edited by CityDee


Kids had a ball my son got his number 5 jumper signed by Petracca and had pics taken with Petracca, Gawn, Oliver and Viney. Players were all great with the kids, my boys are already looking forward to next year's one ?

Cassie - Daisy was standing next to where Petracca and Brayshaw were signing autographs to the right if the rent where Gawn was

What does this year’s scarf look like? Would you be able to post a pic? Or anyone else for that matter.

HB should focus on footy and family and a little less on the other wonderful sites our city have to offer and he'll be fine.

 

Won't see him until mid year at best perhaps even later if we are playing well.

And what spots don't you want HB to pop up at DW.

Maybe the NBL ? He was just asked to train when Stephen May and he were at a game prior to Xmas with another player Nev Jetta  I think.

But tough he has done everything right and if you believe what you see in the doco then he is more than all in and totally emotionally involved.

Your comment was really not necessary IMO.

I wonder how many times you've used that before? Usually ........ people don't go in for "implied" do they?

 

perhaps the sites I'm referring to have two legs

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
