Footy is back and we are excited the Bounce of the Ball is back in 2022! But hold on to your footy socks, it is going to be the last ever Bounce of the Ball. You don’t want to miss this one!
Due to COVID-19, we haven't been able to hold a Bounce of the Ball since 2019... so join us at the home of football (the MCG) for what is sure to be a big celebration and memorable farewell.
Come along as we pre-empt the first bounce with our special guest panel of three football stars. Bring along your clients, colleagues and friends, and make the most of the networking opportunities while rubbing shoulders with legends of the game.
Don't miss out!

In 2019 Brown became just the third North Melbourne player to kick 60+ goals in three consecutive seasons.

Selected in the All-Australian side and taking out the Geelong Best and Fairest in 2019, McDonald was elevated to the Leadership Group ahead of the 2020 season, and announced as Captain in 2021.
