Caroline Wilson re: Good Friday: "The two major bids have been joint. The first: North Melb v Blues. The second: Saints v Western Bulldogs"

Presumably and hopefully we played the RCH proximity card.

Saints v Dogs certainly more appealing though given current lists/form, etc.

Play them both.

Double header!

Farce
Play 5 teams twice
One will be Collingwood
One will be Essendon*
probably around 6 weeks apart
The worst thing about corporate AFL

Agree it's a farce, but unfortunately not the worst the AFL comes up with

On Friday Caro said it will be Bulldogs v North on Good Friday, given we already have the Round 1 "blockbuster" and Dogs have nothing.

She's right

So they took one team from each submission? Would rather saints v dogs. Norf.....yawn.

Someone posted the Adelaide fixture on facebook. According to this we are playing the Crows in Adelaide on Saturday 1st July.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

How many interstate games next year sas87?

Sensational idea.

Have the RCH call centre at the ground for the crowd noise.

Play every game that day. Easily the most boring and useless public holiday EVER (2nd only to the Friday pre GF)
