The ANZAC Day game is my favourite H&A fixture and one the club handles exceptionally well - I must flag a disturbing opinion.
The event of ANZAC is bigger than us, bigger than the AFL & bigger than sport.
No one deserves a monopoly on the day - not even us.
I think the ANZAC Day Game in WA and SA should be guaranteed and rotational, Eagles fans/kids have as much right as us to honour and remember. I'd even have it on a rotational basis with the 4 WA/SA teams.
It's a marketing boom for us and we took it from nought to here, but again - it's bigger than us and if I was an Eagles fan ....I'd want to be able to share with my son/daughter/father/mother the one game that is secondary to the event.
Be the bigger club.
