Always a great day, and for the first time I won't have to go to work that night! Thus I will be getting hammered.

worst band line up in the 14 years of existence, not that it's ever been of any real importance mind you.

Charity Australian Rules Footy at its Best
The Sacred Heart Mission Community Cup XIV

On Sunday 24 June, the historic Junction Oval come alive as The Espy Rock Dogs take on
their old rivals, the 3RRR/PBS Megahertz in Melbourne’s best example of charity Australian
Rules football, the Sacred Heart Mission Community Cup XIV.
Over the past fourteen years, the Sacred Heart Mission Community Cup has come to
embody the spirit of grass-roots football in Melbourne, bringing the community together in
a truly unique celebration.

The event hopes to raise over $70,000 for Sacred Heart Mission, which provides vital
assistance to people who are homeless or living in poverty. In addition to attending to
immediate needs such as food, shelter and clothing, the Mission provides long term support
to help people get back on their feet… permanently.

In addition to the on-field talent, we are proud to announce the off-field entertainment:
• Mach Pelican (Half Time)
• Bob Log (National Anthem) - the first international artist at the Cup!

PRE-GAME
• The RocKwiz Orchestra (with special guests)
• The Double Agents
• Crystal Thomas & Les Fleurs Du Mal
• Killer Birds

“The Cup is a stunning example of what can happen when the community gets together to
support people who are going through rough times” said Sacred Heart Mission CEO, Michael
Perusco, “the community spirit is so tangible you can just about touch it”.

Entry to the game is $5 and all proceeds from the day go directly to funding the vital
programs that Sacred Heart Mission provides to the city’s most disadvantaged.

i agree with crackwhore.

not worth crossing the river for.

We don't want you there dickhead!

Good news TimChuma..this week confirmed Bower Birds (members from Rocket Science/Dynamo) + British India for the Spanish Club bash on the 20th..
GO HERTZ

Looks like fun again. It is always painful making our way there from where we are, but I'm looking forward to it.

I reckon it'll be an excellent day and it's definitely worth crossing the river for!

End the north-south rivalry!

north south rivalry's moved from the river anyway, its at alexander parade now.

The rivalry is really only a winter thing anyway.

Evo said people should consider the good the event has done for the community and it is not really about the bands.

I have seen the following bands on the day and related events since 2002:
Clip Clop Club, Dilli Allstars, Rocket Science, Roadhouse, Spazzys, Killjoys, Paul Kelly, TISM, Magic Dirt, The Almaboobies, Rebecca's Empire, Weddings Parties Anything, Dallas Crane, The Cheats, The Twits, The Spazzys, Cosmic Psychos,Grant Hansen's Big City Rock Band, The King City Seven, Dave Graney & Clare Moore, Matt Walker & Ashley Davies, The Meanies, Man's Ruin Burlesque

of course its not about the fuckin' bands but it doesnt hurt to have some fuckin' good ones play does it?

i didn't realise you posted the photo from last year thomasr. thankfully i didn't injure any children but did watch in full view shebangs get kicked in the head with a football. it's hard to erase from my memory really. he didn't seem to flinch either. i was nearly in tears just catching the ball in my arms.
