Good Friday - The Barassi Cup

IF anyone ever took QB from us there should be an uproar. We have played on 55ish QB's since 1936 (when it became a PH) and on a number of "June public holiday Mondays" before it was called QB.

It is close to the oldest tradition in the AFL.

I'd happily play in the Sydney Melbourne GF match for exposure. But it would seem unfair to those clubs who have lobbied.

    Will there be fish pies instead of meat pies?

    This rivalry should have started years ago.

    No. Steak and kidney if it's in Sydney.

    Showing my age but when I saw the title of this thread I thought it was promoting a game against Carlton. The joke at the time (1965) was that Barassi's move had made Melbourne Bitter and Carlton United.

    or Felafels with sweet chilly, Gnocchi in Neapolitan sauce, Corn Fritters & Spinach & Feta triangles.

    washed down with distilled Apple Cider. -_-

    Seems to me that the best scenario would be that the Dees vs Swans game alternate between Melbourne (MCG) and Sydney and that [on alternate years] the Western Bulldogs play Greater Western Sydney therefore ensuring that the fans of both cities get to see a Melb/Sydney rivalry 'home' game each year with no single team getting any specific advantage in the way of a permanent home advantage, gate takings etc.

    No...that rivalry all but disappeared years ago...the Qld v NSW rivalry leaves it for dead.

    • 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.
