Easter Thursday

[Black_White]

So, what do we think about this?

I’ll support it. Reckon it’s time we used the Pies drawing power to advance the sport in the heathen states.

Do i want more blockbusters for the pies? Yes.

Do i want to have to deal with the public/media/flog bullsh*t that will go on if we get given another blockbuster? No.

AFL probably would give 100% of the gate to Brisbane anyway. These things rarely turn into anything other than a novelty (Famers round, Good Friday et al..)

I like it gives me something to do at easter
Go to the footy then hit the casino for some drinking and loosing money
A perfect looong weekend

Pleb non-Collingwood supporter: "Why does Collingwood get such a great draw and all these big matches and don't travel much?"
Pleb non-Collingwood supporter's Club: "Can we please play Collingwood twice and in a fixed Blockbuster?"

STFU Plebs.

The game as a whole needs to stop agreeing and organization stand alone set fixtures, it creates the other half of the problems we have to the fixture problem as it is.

Didn’t we get absolutely spanked on an Easter Thursday against the Lioms in around 2004?

Reason enough to can the idea

Expensive time for flights I'd imagine, might have to watch it on TV.

Try somewhere to stay at a reasonable price as well

Bah - I don't see why should we be propping up other clubs with more annual fixtures. If they can't draw a crowd that's their problem.

Which in turn means less money we have to pay to them from the equalisation fund.
Win/win.

I’m happy to play the fixture in exchange for their most promising prospect in a trade each year.
