ON MONDAY 12, August, our entire squad spent their day off conducting clinics at local leagues in the City of Casey and inner Melbourne suburbs.
The clinics, focusing on skills and fitness, were then followed by a Q&A session with the Melbourne players and kids.

Chris Dawes (Hampton Rovers JFC) and James Magner (Beaconsfield JFC) took the opportunity to go back to their junior clubs and reminisce about their younger years.

Dawes said: “I love taking the opportunity to give back to junior clubs on behalf of the Melbourne footy club. It’s great that so many young kids are participating in junior footy and the skills were really impressive. Hopefully we’ll see a few of them in the red and blue one day.”
