The AFL already has the premier football competition in Australia and now wants its cake and eat it too.

    The NRL product is fast closing in especially as a television event.

    AFL can only dream of the success NRL has with State of Origin and even the Vegas games. Their Women's comp is also lightyears ahead.

    Attendance figures are no longer the measure for success

    The players say they want it, but let's see how many of the big names are still on board by the time 14 February comes around.

    I'm guessing the clubs will have the final say on whether star players are available or not.

    I'm naming the side now.

    If it was a fair dinkum game I’d actually be interested. Won’t be anything more than an exhibition game so meh

    I’d like to see the All-Australian team play the 2nd AA team as that would be fun. Again though, wouldn’t be fair dinkum.

    14 Feb in Perth

    3 hours time difference to East Coast so game time 4:30pm Perth time

    Likely temp... High 30's

    The Round Zero teams will especially love it

  • Quote

    I like the idea of the one game yearly rotation they appear to be setting up.

    Reckon the players might also appreciate playing a top-level game with some of their pre-AFL peers.

    Welcome back.

    I'm all for State of Origin in pre season gives me something to watch but it should be the best Vs the best. The Big V V either the All Stars or SA not WA they are minows not worth seeing IMO.

    Great idea 🙄.

    Let’s bring back a game that has had no fan intrigue for nearly 30 years.

    Yep sounds like a good idea to me.

    All true DJ, However the only interest I have is praying we don't get any injuries to our players. 14th February in Perth it is liable to be 43deg. I hope it is a night game.

    Agree OD

    AFL need to be a little smarter as they build up these wannabe games.

    It can't be a night game as Perth is 3 hours behind in summer. 5pm start at best

    Looks like a disaster in the making DJ.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
