If the AFL were serious about building up blockbusters Melbourne playing Port at the G on Easter Sunday is a joke. It'll most likely be at 1.10pm which even more laughable.
For a giggle I've made some changes to round one that would be better for marketing, etc.
- Showdown to open season
- Essendon play Melbourne on Saturday twilight... guarantees 40k+
- NM v Col solo Sunday twilight match = 50k+ and big TV audience
