Moonee Valley's dress rehearsal

Moonee Valley's dress rehearsal
When our guys haven't got cricket to occupy themselves on the weekend - watch out!
Moonee Valley players whose seasons had finished the previous week congregated at Ormond Park over the Labor Day long weekend to watch and cheer on their team-mates.
But they were no ordinary spectators. Fancy dress got to them, and we had some weird and wonderful characters frequenting the clubrooms and scaring the children of the opposition teams.
Among them were our UK import Kris Garland dressed as Mitchell Johnson, and Firsts skipper Matt Thomas dressed as the Pom we love to hate, Kevin Pietersen. But it was all in good fun, and the guys certainly cheered on the Sixths to a Grand Final berth, and gave good voice to the Fifths as they wrapped up another win to go into the finals on top of the ladder.
Above: Just like the Village People - only worse! Moonee Valley players whose season had finished got together at Ormond Park on the long weekend, as the Sixths played their way into a grand final.
