Unless the round proves to be an epic fail next year, then I think it's here to stay.

Money talks and clearly cities around the country would love to have the round to boost tourism.

But I see your point - there's really nothing in it from a Victorian's perspective. 

It's here to stay because the AFL included it as part of its media rights it signed off a couple of months back.

They could honour a footy legend and Brownlow Medallist by calling it The Barry Round.

The beauty of it is that the name works on another level too.  Barry = Barry Crocker = Shocker.

It would also please longtime Coodabeens caller, Barry from the Barossa.

Magic Round in a different country each year. Like the Olympics or the Soccer World cup countries could bid for this once in a lifetime event.

It is after all the World Game (woops I think some other sport claims that phrase... perhaps we could call it the Universal Game !!)

Think of all that money and exposure Gil.... almost as good as having a game in China !!!

I am sorry, that is just a really bad name.

It isn't inspiring, its cringeworthy and sounds so bad off the tongue.

Surely someone in the AFL thought twice about this one?

Is there a fixture yet...

Given the location I was in favour of "Heaps Good Round".

I’ve heard that the reason for the extra round added is so that the AFL can siphon off a portion of the profits received into a new fund they have created to help finance the new training and admin facility for the MFC.

( this may or may not be factual but very happy if it was true)

Sadly you were dreaming NC.

That will be released during a world cup game tonight LH.


Obviously they could not get a sponsor to pony up some cash. I wonder why???

Maybe after their lack of street sense after initially announcing the women's competition as Australian Women's Football League, AWFL, only to turn it around as AFLW, they have spent countless hours dreaming up this and just couldn't think of anything better.

Abut all there is to say

If there was a sponsor it would have been the Ford or TAB round.

Gather Round 

Gather what?

No pizazz there whatsoever.

Even without sponsors surely someone in marketing has some imagination!

Edited by Lucifers Hero

I thought men were the hunters and the women the gatherers?

Sounds a bit like the Gabba Round - breaking news, it'll be in Brisbane next year

  • 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.
