Does Tracc ever stop smiling?

I couldn't stop smiling watching him yesterday.  He was AWESOME!

    Someone ask Lever about his ankle if you can please and thanks! 

    When he got on stage there was no noticeable limp or discomfort.

    Great way to spend sat morning with the kids. Stocked up on merch (polo shirt, guernsey for my daughter, baseball caps, beer stubby holders etc.), saw Benny (quality human being) get the hair shorn and heard from Daisy and Goody

    My boy reckoned the best part of the day was the free ice cream! I made him promise to come to at least 3 games with me this year. Unprompted he said he would definitely come to the grand final with me. I'm taking that as a good omen.

    Daisy spoke very eloquently as usual. Other highlight was Goody saying the team had unfinished business and wanted to win it at the G for us. You could tell he meant it rather than playing to the gallery. And he said Gawn and Grundy are known as the Tap Brothers!

    Libby Birch reckoned there was 3,000 people there. I reckon that was about right.

    Well done MFC. Very enjoyable day. The queues were too long but I don't think that could be helped. Just means the team are popular.

    Go Dees

    I think this was the best attended of all the family days I’ve been to: it was good fun and the vibe was more low-key. Ben Brown is a quality human: it’s an admirable thing to see somebody so comfortable in themselves.

    The sausage and bread always reliable and those cupcakes were delicious.

    Great job Demon Army.

    I popped in for a little while. Seemed to be well organised, and a very pleasant atmosphere. No sign of Max, Angus, Trac, Viney and a few other A graders when I was there. Perhaps they turned up later?

    I had short chats with Kozzy & Langers ... both really nice.

    I asked Kozzy if he was signing on for next year. He said yes. I asked if I could record that ... he said no!! 

    I asked Langers about his rib injury from last year. Supposedly 'bruised'. He said that he had broken ribs ... x 4 !! Which is obviously why his form dropped off so much.

    Max, Gus, Trac, Viney etc were all there at different autograph stations. The queues were long but what can you do? Meant it was hard to get to more than one table (unless you had people lining up in a few queues). My kids got Trac, TMac and Charlotte Wilson's sigs and they were pretty stoked with that. Wanted to get to Kozzy, Max & Viney too but didn't have time, it took us almost the whole hour lining up for Petracca and TMac.

    Your 2nd question to Kozzie should have been "On which club's letterhead will you be signing on?".

    Makes a lot of sense now.

    It was a great turnout we had an enjoyable time and tried the Demon Army sausages and bread x5 very yummy. As mentioned earlier the queue’s were long which limited the number of player autographs but the kids managed to get all the young guns as they were all located in the one area along with JJ, Tommo and Michael Hibberd. How good is Benny Brown he raised $63,000 plus for the cause.! The last time we attended was 2019 it was a smaller event and players were much more accessible but that is the price of success.!!!

    Wow, sounds like Family Day was fun! 
    I wouldn’t know since I didn’t see any of the happenings described in the above posts. Which is fantastic because it means that we were absolutely flat out for the entire time. We literally did not stop for a solid three-hour period. A couple of hours beforehand to set up and a couple of hours afterwards to clean/pack up. I didn’t get home until 4:30.

    But totes worth it. More giant heads on the horizon! Speaking of, what happens to giant heads of players who leave us? I’m glad I asked! We raffle them. And look who got to come home with me!

    No surprise since I reckon I bought 95% of the tickets. 😁

    PS: to the ‘Landers who came by to say hello… I’m sorry if I appeared rude but as mentioned above we were under the pump the entire time and I simply couldn’t take a break. But thanks all the same for coming by.

    So we’ve met but didn’t realise it, DZ. I was the one who took your money!

    Glad you enjoyed the snags, as well as the day on the whole. ❤️💙

    I miss the family days they used to have at Luna Park, but I’m delighted we can’t go back because we’re now a decent footy team and fans want to come along.

    Surely a snag in bread is too unrefined a dining choice for the likes of you (?)

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
