Sunday footy is free for kids to enjoy a Fun-day at the MCG

Tamsin RoseHerald Sun
FOOTY-loving kids are invited to the MCG for Sunday Fundays this entire AFL season.

The MCG is offering free entry for kids to watch the footy and free entry into the National Sports Museum at the ‘G before all Sunday clashes.

Kids are also being allowed a feel for the action with kick-to-kicks on the field after the final siren for four more matches this year in August, weather permitting*.

Sunday Fundays are designed to make footy more fun for families, according to MCC chief executive Stuart Fox.

“With cooler weather on the way, a visit to the National Sports Museum is the perfect way to keep warm and entertained before the bounce,” he said.

On Sunday, July 23 cartoonist Paul Harvey will run a session with kids in the museum.


Mr Fox said the kick-to-kick sessions was a chance for kids to step onto the famous ground.

“Stepping onto the hallowed* turf and having a kick after the siren is something everyone enjoys, regardless of the footy result!”

AFL legend and five-time Richmond premiership player Kevin Bartlett said he looked forward to Sunday Funday at the MCG.


“The MCG is a very special place for me and my family, so I’m looking forward to sharing some of my favourite stories and memories with fans,” he said.

“In my opinion there’s not much that beats a Sunday afternoon watching the footy at the ‘G.”
