AS THE TEAM walked off the MCG after its final warm up on Sunday, it was greeted by a red and blue army of members who had been to every game in Melbourne plus some interstate games.

Each player presented a member with a match worn guernsey to thank them for their unconditional support.

Jackie Arbuckle, a 26 year member, said: “It was such a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed meeting Colin Garland and receiving the guernsey from him. It was such a simple gesture from you guys (the club), but it meant so much to me and the fellow supporters.”

The presentation of guernseys to regular attending members will be an annual event.

Please note that the members were selected at random. We value all of our members and look forward to rewarding more members in 2013.
