AFL Victoria promoted a statewide "Sockit2MND" round, encouraging clubs across Victoria to join in the fundraising campaign for fighting Motor Neuron Disease.
Warriors players from the under-13 netball right through to the senior football all wore knee high socks in support of the cause. The club has also been selling beanies to spectators wanting to get involved.
Stawell president Tim Williams said it was a worthy cause to get behind.
Every player, every footballer and every netballer had the socks on from all the way through the grades.

"We've had club members that have had family effected by MND, so this is our way of showing support, trying to raise some funds and also raising awareness," Mr Williams said.
Mr Williams said the club would continue to promote the cause in the future.
"We seek it out every year - we've worn the socks the last three or four years," he said.
"Every player, every footballer and every netballer had the socks on from all the way through the grades."
