Spoken about on AW this morning, Gill liked the Idea ... to be played in Sydney. Would be good.

    Ugh, disgraceful. How dare we even consider playing football on a day competing directly with the Darling Harbour Children's festival.

    Unless it is a night game, that'd be fine. Though it'll take a lot of candles to keep the ground lit.

    Will there be fish and chips?

    I love the idea, would be great for the club. And would be even better if we could create a bit more of a rivalry with Sydney which at the moment is virtually non existent.

    theres so many worthless cups and medals that teams play for these days

    but a Ron Barassi Cup would be brilliant

    Would be good in Sydney at the SCG, don't want to host it in Melbourne.

    I like it - the Barassi Cup - a four way, over the top rope, battle royale - Melbourne vs Sydney vs Carlton vs North.

    The AFL needs a Melbourne v Sydney Rivalry....Would certainly boost east coast TV ratings if it became entrenched.

    Good idea....Hope the Home Ground is held by the Winner of the previous year.....INCENTIVES.

    Word has it that Roos will be taking along a Tip Top sandwich loaf and a Birds Eye fish finger and distributing them among the entire crowd. And if it rains? Well... just make sure you have a wine glass with you.

    Brilliant, Easter in Sydney works for me

    Just what I was thinking gg. They'll say equalisation payments more than compensates the transition

  • Quote

    Would that mean we lose our Queens Birthday fixture?

    Lets be positive...by that time we will be so successful we will have a few stand alone Friday/Sat night games, maybe ANZAC Eve and 50,000+ members and Eddie can keep his precious Easter Monday and his supporters can stop the ridicule about it being our Grand Final!

    So like us playing for the Ron Barassi Senior Cup, Trophy, Shield whatever it was we played for in the mid 2000s against the Swans on or near Anzac Day?

    Good thinking. Had the pleasure of March/April up there this year. Champagne weather. But somehow it still rained/stormed for every damn game of football for a month.

    So will gate takings go to Sydney for this game? Would we get anything?

    I'd prefer it go to Kangas & Bulldogs, but that's just me. Sydney have enough $$$

    Yes we would at least one Friday Night game every year if it was to be set in stone, always good for corporate exposure and advertising. It's why Eddie loves Anzac day and knows it is such a cash cow.

    I would not mind it being a regular event where we play away every good Friday against them and make it very much a Sydney (NSW) vs Melbourne (Vic) rivalry to gain more interest in the harbor city, I think the AFL would be keen on this

    Would rather marquee Friday night games in Melbourne than this Good Friday game.

    Plus it would mean we play interstate in round 1 as I think Easter falls that weekend next year.

    Not as excited as others re: this.

  • Quote

    LH, let's continue towards success, get to 50,000 members, keep Queens Birthday and then trounce the Pies for the next decade on a day that we'll never give up to Eddie

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
