Thousands of people affected by breast cancer helped turn the MCG pink for Sunday’s Pink Lady Day clash between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs.
It was the 21st Breast Cancer Network Australia Pink Lady Day, showing support for the 58 people diagnosed with breast cancer every day in Australia.
The event included a mini tribute field on the MCG concourse, and Melbourne players wearing special BCNA warm up tee shirts, and playing in pink socks.
The Demons’ banner said they were playing for everyone affected by breast cancer.
A highlight for the two ground level bays filled with BCNA supporters was the opportunity to wave their corflute Pink Ladies before the match started.
For the record, despite a fighting third-quarter comeback, the Bulldogs won the game by a single goal.
