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?

    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)

    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!

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
