Switchingplay,
yes is a great idea and has been extremely successful at leagues that have implemented this.(not many have done it though).I played in the Ovens & Murray league for many seasons down in the Albury/Wodonga region.One of the minor leagues down that way is The Hume League,.. for the first time 2 of the leagues teams played today(easter friday). They are 2 of the top clubs from the past 4 years, namely Howlong and 2011 premiers, Jindera.Now... Howlong have recruited Sydney Swans premiership player , namely Daniel Bradshaw whom will play alongside his 2 brothers(his younger brother kicked 100 plus last season.)
I dont know the results as of yet but the league and both clubs were predicting a crowd of 2500..... where in a normal home and away game the crowd would be lucky to be 500.Great revenue raiser.

Just look at the League match played today between the Rabbitohs and Bulldogs..... a crowd of 35000. .

Have got feedback on this game. Crowd of 2000 plus approx, gate takings of $8000 plus , and thats before the canteen /bar/raffles etc.In addition the clubs have donated some $6000 of these takings to Charity. First time in the leagues history a game has been played on good friday..... what a success... and money raised to a charity .
By the way, Howlong won the game,with ex Swan champ in Darren Bradshaw kicking 9 goals, and his brother booted 6.
 
Mikal bloom won the league medal down there last year playing for Holbrook ! Would have to think Bradshaw will dominate that league. By all reports a very similar standard to phc.

Smy1305,
yes ,sure will.His brothers are both 6 foot 3 or 4 inches tall as well, which gives Howlong a massive forward line . The brother that kicked 100 goals plus in 2011, was AFL drafted years ago, but didnt break into the elite level, still.. is a very good player and goalkicker. If Daniels knee stands up to the weekly demands of footy, we might see 2 brothers kicking 100 goals each for the same club in the same year....

On the other hand, this good friday experiment, will become a permanent fixture, due to the huge success on Friday.

On another point of info, Fevola played his first game for Yarrawonga today in the Ovens and Murray league and kicked 7 goals( in a game that ended in a draw ) in front of a crowd of 7000. Normally this 1st round game attracts 2000...... unreal.

Ironic that - the only reason he was able to play was because of a "deal" cut between Glenrowan and Yarrawonga. Fev had a one match suspension flowing over from last year in the VFL to this year, he was recruited by Yarrawonga but in order to play this match he was cleared to Glenrowan (who had a match last weekend), served his suspension with that one game, and was then cleared back to Yarrawonga last week. Very much a loophole which isn't that flash for the sport if you ask me.

Potentially a fairly lop sided season you would think. Not sure where the Roos fit in there but when all 5 games are this "easy" to pick, you would hope someone jumps out of the box. Saying this the results aren't in yet!!:)

I reckon the top teams will be fairly even and the bottom teams fairly even. Just a pretty big gap between top and bottom. Round 1 just by coincidence has top teams playing bottom teams generally that's why it appears obvious to tip. Other rounds will have evenly matched teams playing each other and tipping will get more difficult
 
Have sandgate been written off by all as a top 5 side already? Played finals last 3 years, have lost a few but always seem competive. I guess trend of last 3 seasons where burleigh, maroochy and surfers have all played finals one year, and fallen from grace may be a chance of happening again?
 
Megaman,

I see your point regarding sandgate! wouldnt think it is a swipe at sandgate, probably optimism from other clubs and their expectations, putting their team ahead of yours! Personally think its a top 3 with PBC, Noosa, Magpies, followed by Sandgate, Surfers, Mayne, Grange to fight out the next 2 spots then Maroochy, Burleigh, Springwood and Cooly for the bottom line. And that is not in any particular order.
