SEASON 2012 Our programme of events and functions for 2012 are currently being developed.  Once finalised,they will be listed here.  The Mid Season Footy Wrap is always a great event where supporters can come along and get the inside word on how footy Cats-style is going.  As one of the best and more affordable Cats function on the calendar you should make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.  A great night out and one not to be missed.  CURRENT SUMMARY OF METROCATS RELATED EVENTS PLANNED FOR 2012: DATE DESCRIPTION BOOKING TBC Melbourne Junior Footy Clinic TBC TBC MetroCats Pre-Game Function (probably Easter Monday afternoon Rd 2 Cats v Hawks at MCG) TBC TBC Nine Lives - Geelong and MetroCats Footy Wrap TBC Go Cats!

DETAILS TO BE CONFIRMED FOR 2012 In 2011 our pre-game function was the lead-in to the Cats v Hawks game at the MCG and, although subject to confirmation, 2012 is lkely to see a repeat.  The format for 2011 was the same as for previous years, with traditional footy food provided, a casual and relaxed atmosphere and a couple of interesting speakers.  Our speakers this time were Frank Costa and Marc Woolnough.  As usual, past player Jason Snell was our Master of Ceremonies. The cost of attending this function included a reserved seat outside the function room on level 2 and was a great opportunity to make a group up and all sit together at the footy!  The cost per person was only $50 for adult Metrocats members and $25-00 for junior MetroCats members ($5 extra per person for non-members).  As for all previous MetroCats pregame functions, we were able to celebrate yet another great win from our boys.  Fantastic day and result! Here are a few pics from the function: Frank Costa was our main speaker: Marc Woolnough was our second speaker: And our three Raffle prize winners were: Details yet to be confirmed for 2012 Melbourne Junior Football Clinic Wesley College, St Kilda 2011 Report: Despite the wet weather, GFC players (Cam Mooney, James Podsiadly, Cam Guthrie, Josh Hunt, Taylor Hunt, Tom Hawkins, Mitch Brown, Billie Smedts, Joel Corey, Jack Weston, Nathan Vardy, Brad Ottens, Daniel Menzel, Shannon Byrnes, Josh Cowan and Marcus Drum) were in attendance to put junior members through their paces in a range of activities including tackling, handball and goal kicking.  Yet again, the Melbourne and Geelong clinics provided many hundreds of young fans with a wonderful up close experience with the players.
