Good Friday Football

[Alfredo Rojas]

Good Friday Football has been given the green light by the AFL to commence either in 2015 or 2016... Which two teams do you think should kick start the event? and please provide reason for it...

Teams are ones that at one stage or another been linked to event

 

[Kram]

Fremantle and Port at the MCG.

 

[joop]

You've missed over half the league in that poll?

Fwiw, I think Freo vs West Coast

*Wellington

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Port v Adelaide @ AO

 

[Alfredo Rojas]

Doubt WA or SA will host event if for Melbourne charity as in RCH appeal...

 

[base615]

Port v Adelaide @ AO

I'd go with this

 

[The_Reaper]

Saints vs Demons

 

[Quivorir]

North vs whoever. We wanted it first. We wanted it more. Everyone else can * off.

I'd go with this

Doubtful SA teams plus WA have their own derby don't need make it any bigger adding Good Friday, considering their game is al ready a sellout

 

[Alfredo Rojas]

North vs whoever. We wanted it first. We wanted it more. Everyone else can **** off.

Who is your prefered opponent?

 

[Quivorir]

Think the doggies or saints deserve a blockbuster game. So is be happy with them. Carlton would be good to pull numbers, but I think a lot of people will go anyway being the only game for the day.

I think AFL should trial the blockbuster with North & Dogs reason AFL need give opportunity to smaller VIC clubs... Saints kinda establishing own marquee games with Blues on annual Monday night and Anzac Day NZL... Roos & Dogs don't yet have a real blockbuster

 

[MrNatural]

Pies vs Roos

 

[Alfredo Rojas]

Pies vs Roos

Pies shouldn't get another blockbuster... Anzac Day & Queens birthday plus every MCG match with a big Vic club already a blockbuster in itself

So right, there are Childrens Hospitals in other cities than Melbourne - locals would prefer to support their own hospital.

FWIW I think an evening game at Metricon would be a TV & attendance winner, so many holidaymakers on the Coast - v the Hawks, the Pies, the Cats, a big drawing club.

Possibility might be TWO games.. 1 outside VIC however i heard if was to happen might be just on Fox footy dunno if a fund raiser however it could be...

Hawks vs Cats play Easter Monday same weekend so doubtful

Who said it was the only game of the day?

I know agreed, might be TWO games held, but think might trial one before two... Just an opinion though

 

[Pottering]

Whoever plays it should be a football decision, not the broadcasters calling the shots which seems to have been how this year's fixturing was constructed.

Who do you think should play?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I hope they make it Roos vs Dogs so we can finally put this "marquee day it'll sell out with neutrals" crap to bed.

 

[Pottering]

Who do you think should play?

Two teams who don't have their own marquee match, which I think boils down to North and the Doggies.

 

[Costanza_]

Something that isn't already an event (derby, showdown) or includes a very high profile team.

More than happy for North to be involved. They've lobbied hard for a long time and don't have a marquee fixture. Put them against the Bulldogs or St. Kilda - regardless of the opponent it's going to be a decent-to-good crowd and great TV exposure.
