What’s On | Round 13
West Coast Eagles v Port Adelaide | WA Freeze
Saturday, June 6 | 6.15pm (AWST) | Optus Stadium / Whadjuk
Gates open 4.45pm
We take on Port Adelaide this Saturday, flying off the back of a win into our second consecutive match at Optus Stadium.
This match day is dedicated to FightMND and the Big Freeze 12. Now in the 12th year, we need your help to bring us closer to finding a cure for Motor Neurone Disease.
This is a cause close to the Club's heart. Neale Daniher, former AFL player, coach and West Coast Eagles General Manager of Football, was diagnosed with MND in 2013 and co‑founded FightMND a year later. His tireless advocacy has helped drive tens of millions of dollars into vital research and programs supporting those affected by ‘The Beast’.
Let’s keep his legacy alive. Together we continue Neale’s fight, moving towards a future without MND.
We Play On, for Neale.
Big Freeze 12 beanies can be purchased from the Fan Zone or roaming volunteers outside the stadium gates. Please note, stock is limited and will sell quickly.
To purchase a beanie online, visit fightmnd.org.au.
If a beanie isn’t for you – you can purchase a digital beanie here. Every digital beanie purchase is a tax-deductible donation that directly funds vital research and support programs for Australians living with MND and their families.
