Thousands of Bombers supporters came together at the Melbourne Showgrounds on Saturday, with the club hosting its annual Family Day.

Staged indoors at the Grand Pavilion, the event included player signing sessions, show rides, food trucks, giveaways and plenty of sponsor activations, including the Fujitsu Dunk Tank and E-Grand Prix - an initiative between RMIT University and the Australian Grand Prix.

Inclement weather didn't deter fans, who turned up in their droves to get up close and personal with their favourite players as the 2020 season quickly approaches.
