Kick off your Grand Final Eve celebrations with us at Mission Whitten Oval as the Bulldogs take on the Swans.
There’s nothing better than returning home and playing under lights at the Kennel, especially off the back of a win.
There’ll be fireworks, footy and plenty of fun so get your tickets now to avoid delays at the gate - $15 tickets, PLUS U18s free.
Before the bounce
From 6:15pm, there’s plenty to keep all ages entertained as you check out the many activities around the ground.
Peruse homemade accessories from Bejewelled Creative Designs, compete with your mates and test your vertical leap with Victoria University and practice some handball skills with Victoria Police.
Friday night also sees the return of our friends from All 4 Paws Dog Rescue where you can snuggle up for a photo with some very cute puppies. And, not to be outdone, crowd favourites Sunny and Caesar will also be there for a photo and a pat too.
Plus, get in early to score a FREE limited-edition Rise with Us tote bag and temporary tattoo.
Kick off the weekend with a bang!
What better way to celebrate Grand Final weekend in Melbourne than with a pre-game fireworks show with a Taylor Swift soundtrack! Make sure you’re at the ground by 6:50pm to ensure that you don’t miss a minute of the action.
Something to eat
Pancake Parlour Pancake Pocket will be slinging the exclusive pancake cups, Mr. Baller will be serving up mouthwatering meatball subs, and our friends from ALFA café will also have all your usual footy favourites ready to go.
Live performances
Groove along to the Footscray-Yarraville City Brass Band who will be keeping the vibes high with some of your all-time favourite nostalgic tunes.
For the kids
Our fan-zone will be up-and-running to keep the young Dogs busy throughout the night with footy activities, roaming mascots and free giveaways. Macca’s Kick-to-kick will take place on the ground following the game.
