About

Join us to celebrate Mother's Day and hear from the wives and mothers of Hawthorn Football Club players, as they share their unique perspective in the world of professional sports.

A special panel discussion will give members and their guests a rare glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of raising children to play AFL at the elite level. Attendees will get to know the families behind the Hawthorn Football Club and their extraordinary stories and insights. This function is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of women and mother figures ahead of Mothers' Day.

Your function ticket includes a two-course sit down meal, half time fare, 2.5-hour beverage package (pre-game and half time), and a Level 2 reserved seat to watch the Round 8 clash between Collingwood and Hawthorn.

Please note: The function price does not include an entry ticket into the ground for guests. Members bringing guests must purchase a general admission visitor ticket via Ticketek for $45 to gain entry into the MCC Reserve. Tickets for this match will go on sale from 10:00am AEDT Tuesday March 24 via Ticketek.

Members will need to scan their MCC membership card at Gate 2. Reserved seats will be handed to the booking member upon arrival to the function.
