Don’t miss our season opener against Hawthorn this Saturday.  We have an exciting young team, and are getting ready to entertain with a pre-game stunt never before seen on the MCG. With all of this, there’s no reason not to be at Saturday’s game.

In his comeback jump after recovering from injury, Cam Sinclair will be performing a 30 metre motorcycle jump on the MCG before the game.  It’s a great start to Round One, and we’ll be finishing the day with a kick-to-kick session on the MCG after the final siren.

Leading into the game, 200 children will be on the ground, creating their own ‘field of dreams’.  This group will be made up of Young Demons members, children from Reach, and Hawthorn junior members.  A $50 000 cheque will be presented to Reach by the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation.

Outside the ground, memberships will be on sale at Gates 2, 3 and 5.  As well as making sure you get to the ground by 1.30 pm to enjoy all the pre-match entertainment, we are aiming to sign our 30,000th member on Saturday, so encourage you – if you haven’t got your membership already – to get in early and make sure you don’t miss out.

Of course, between the start of the game and the final siren, and away from all the extra activity, you get the chance to see our young team in action for the first time this year, as they take to the MCG – everyone’s favourite ‘field of dreams’ throughout the season.
