Hundreds of footballs and netballs were given away to eager children, who also enjoyed inflatables, face painting and activities.
The council’s Helen Sheedy said AFL Footy Fever was part of a business support package for the stage two renewal works to encourage people to visit the CBD. “It’s a big week of footy for us because we’ve got our Hampden league grand final and the AFL celebrations next week,” she said.

Cobden Primary School principal Peter Lee said a footy breakfast was held on Friday which some of the Cobden netballers attended and he wished both teams well.
