After the success of its partnership in 2016, North Melbourne has again teamed up with VicHealth to promote free drinking water around Etihad Stadium.

The club is encouraging fans to choose water to hydrate and bring their re-usable bottles to the game to fill up at 10 free drinking fountains.

As one of the hardest running ruckmen in the AFL, Todd Goldstein can appreciate the benefits of water.

“Being properly hydrated is a huge part of the game for me and my teammates, but it’s also vital for our supporters in the stands,” Goldstein said.

“We hope that our fans can take advantage of the free water and feel great while they’re cheering us on at Etihad.”

If you can’t make it to Etihad Stadium, Yarra Valley Water is making it easy to find free drinking water with the ‘Choose Tap’ app.

North fans can access free drinking water at every home game this year.
