Not even the unforgiving cold and frosty Sunday chill of last week’s games could break the spirit of our warm and big hearted kids who live large on the footy grounds of Melbourne. Brave hearts were lost and won on those muddy fields but there is still time for more of the great game to come.
Don’t forget, there are NO GAMES this weekend due to school holidays. Enjoy the break!
