As a North supporter
I want Essendon to be our opponents on Good Friday but jazz the game up a bit more.
For starters play the VFL as a curtain raiser starting at midday to entain the supporters of both clubs.
After the VFL game organise some pre game entertainment with a well known Australian music act for the crowd with also a motorcade of sick kids that have been in the Hospital that are currently or ex patients of the Hospital with a EX legend of the competing clubs to be in the car with them.
EG

ustin Fletcher ,Brent Harvey ,Matthew Lloyd and Wayne Carey.
Then start the AFL game at 4pm.
After the game present a Trophy to the winning team and BOG Medal for best player to be presented by a patient and an administrator from the RCH.
Also let Essendon and North Melbourne alternate the home game.
EG:This year North next year Essendon .
Move the game to the MCG gives more people a chance to see the game from different clubs as well.
So Essendon and North supporters maybe this could happen and work or maybe not but remember the day is all about raising money FOR THE KIDS😁 to make their lives better as it's not about club politics or feeding the egos of club administrators it's about the kids.
