🎥 Why do players keep coming back to National Carnival year after year? Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing stories from Vic Country players about what National Carnival means to them — the friendships, the footy, the memories and the experiences that keep them coming back. First up is Dean Moore, who shares his thoughts on what makes Carnival so special and why it's an experience every Masters footballer should have at least once. With registrations closing soon, we're encouraging anyone considering Newcastle 2026 to get signed up as early as possible. We need to confirm squad numbers across all age groups by the end of the month so teams can be entered and planning can begin. If we don't have sufficient numbers in an age group, we may need to combine with other states to field a side. We'd love to see as many Vic Country teams as possible proudly wearing the Big V in Newcastle. 👉 Register here: https://www.playhq.com/afl/register/808939 👉 Find everything you need to know about Carnival here: https://viccountrymasters.com/league/pages/national-carnival Have you been to a National Carnival before?
