Old Boys Day

For the final home game of the season, it is Old Boys day with a special focus on the 20-year anniversary of the 1997 Grand Final win. Past players Paul ‘The Chief’ Harragon, Matthew Johns, Mark Hughes, Billy Peden, Robbie O’Davis and Adam MacDougall will be at McDonald Jones Stadium for two grades of footy action.

The 1997 team will be introduced to the crowd and complete a lap around the field before the entire Old Boys will form a guard of honour for the current team to run through.
