arassi, who regularly attends country football games as the WorkSafe country footy Ambassador, will address a pre-game luncheon before mingling with the crowd and taking in the local footy. There will be activities for the kids during the afternoon as well as the action on the field.
WorkSafe Victoria and the Victorian Country Football League will host local businesses, club and league sponsors, life members and local footy supporters at the WorkSafe Game of the Month luncheon.

The WorkSafe Game of the Month program, now in its 7^th year, has become a major highlight of the WorkSafe VCFL calendar according to WorkSafe VCFL CEO, Glenn Scott.
“The WorkSafe Games of the Month have been very popular over recent years and a definite highlight of the WorkSafe VCFL calendar. It is always fantastic to have AFL Legend Ron Barassi in attendance at these matches. We expect a bumper crowd at Red Hill, and a competitive game of football between Red Hill and Dromana for Round 16 points in the Nepean League.” said Mr Scott.
