The Melbourne Football Club is extremely disappointed to be advised this afternoon by the MCC, that the fireworks that were in planning for tonight’s Round 1 AFL game have been cancelled for reasons outside of the Melbourne Football Club’s understanding or control.

This is highly disappointing as it was a key part of the club’s special flag unfurling celebrations for our loyal supporters, especially the kids and families.

The club will continue to look for opportunities to create special match day experiences this season as we welcome back crowds and thank your loyal supporters.
