Major long-time motorsport supporter, Morris Finance’s Nathan Murray is a major supporter of the Geelong Cats and has offered up his Superbox at the MCG for a Cats’ home game during the 2025 AFL season.
The offering includes box tickets, two car parking spaces and food and beverages (beer, wine and soft drinks) for 12 people.
The auction is being hosted by Lloyds Auctions and will be a part of the inaugural PIRTEK Legends Night, which will pay tribute to Dick Johnson at the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort and Spa on Friday October 25 in conjunction with the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 weekend.
The items will remain in place until the PIRTEK Legends Night goes live at 9pm (AEST) on October 25 with Lloyds simulcasting live from the JW Marriott Ballroom. Meaning you can place your final bids from home or if you are a guest at the dinner.
The game date will be confirmed after the announcement of the 2025 AFL draw and final arrangements will be made between the winning bidder and Morris Finance, once availability is known, according to Murray.
“I might be biased, but I don’t believe there is a better sporting venue in the world than the MCG, except for Mt Panorama when we are talking about motorsport,” said Murray.
“We are fortunate to have a box at the ‘G’ and we love to share the experience, especially when we can help out an amazing cause like Motorsport Ministries at the same time.
“We would love to see a group of people get together and pool their cash and have a crack at being the winning bidder on this item.
“It would be an awesome family gift or a way for someone to reward their staff.”
PIRTEK Legends Night coordinator, Brett “Crusher” Murray, said the interest in the MCG Superbox had already exceeded expectations.
“Nathan (Murray) and his team at Morris have been incredibly generous in their support of the inaugural PIRTEK Legends Dinner and, in particular, the Motorsport Ministries Charity Auction,” said Murray, who is no relation.
“It is the depth of commitment from people like Nathan, much of which you never see, that helps motorsport not only survive, but prosper.
“This is an amazing auction item and one which is already drawing valuable attention to Motorsport Ministries charity auction far and wide.”
