The teams are now entering the field for the pre-match ceremony. There’s a huge roar for the Maroons as they’re led out by Daly Cherry-Evans. The Blues get a much more frosty reception. Though maybe the crowd is shouting Boo-lues and not boo? We can never be certain.

Superstar NBA player Patty Mills is delivering the game ball in a Maroons jersey, which is apparently a thing that happens now. Hopefully we’ll see him doing some warm ups with a Steeden before an NBA game at some point in the near future.
