Hey Bombers,

I hope you could relax over the Kings Birthday weekend and enjoy a footy free weekend.

I am pleased to report that the draw for the rest of the season has now dropped on AFLSJ (please note there may be a few changes to bounce times)

The King’s Birthday is an opportunity for the AFL community to focus on the Big Freeze. Thank you to the families who preordered socks for the Big Freeze to Fight Motor Neuron Disease (MND). The demand for socks exceeded the supply and our order could not be filled, I appreciate that this is disappointing for many of our players and families who have strongly supported the campaign over several seasons.

The club will reimburse families through the team app or if the socks were part of a bigger order we will reimburse you through the canteen on 25 June.

The big freeze is about raising awareness and finding a cure for MND with your reimbursement please consider making a tax-deductible contribution through Shout for Good at https://shoutforgood.com/embed/lightbox?client_token=d30a8370-369e-4988-9306-bd77289dd884&top=donation. Whilst all our players and coaches will not have socks this season you can still support them by picking up a beanie at Coles or Bunnings or learning more about the beast at https://fightmnd.org.au/big-freeze-9-homepage/

Best regards

Tod
President MAFC
