The game will take place on Friday, February 28.
It's set to get underway at 7.50pm (AEDT), with the match coming after an AFLW game between Collingwood and Melbourne at the same venue.

Keen observers will note this places the clash on the same weekend as the second round of Marsh Community Series pre-season fixtures.

Players taking part in the bushfire game will sit out that week for their clubs, which may not please their coaches, though there has been widespread support among the players for the match.

Selection



Nat Fyfe, Patrick Dangerfield and Dustin Martin have all been picked in the star-studded 27-man squads announced on Tuesday for next week’s return of State representative footy.
Richmond superstar Martin was the first player to confirm his involvement in next week’s bushfire relief match, announcing on Monday he will play for Victoria.

The Brownlow medallist and premiership star was the first player picked for the representative battle against the All-Stars on February 28 at Marvel Stadium.

Richmond and GWS are the clubs with the highest representation with both clubs to feature six players in the AFL’s first State of Origin game since 2008.

Martin, Tom Lynch, Bachar Houli and Trent Cotchin will fly the flag for Victoria, while Shane Edwards and Jack Riewoldt have been picked for the All Stars.

The Giants have five players in the Victorian squad (Jeremy Cameron, Toby Greene, Josh Kelly, Lachie Whitfield and Nick Haynes). Stephen Coniglio will represent the All Stars.
 
Was a pretext to play a great game of football, raise money for bushfire affected communities, and advertise for Coles all at the same time.

So two points then -
1 - why were you worked up if you knew it was a charity game?
2 - coles offends you, but the toyota logo was ok? Sponsors are ok all over apparel, footballs etc? Here’s a helpful hint for life - just be happy. There are worse things to worry about. It’s football.

The game was trying to raise money.

Sponsors pay money.



Can you see where I'm going with this???

Lol, did you crack the sads when Toyota or Maccas had the center square logo?
No no the game is certainly enhanced when it’s played on a billboard.

I’m amazed you haven’t brought up the ‘real’ cause of the bushfires. Do you think the AFP now have enough money to track down all those arsonists? Smoking pipes and magnifying glasses don’t as cheap as they used to.
