I am enjoying the pod this year, but please say the game starting times in local time and not Melbourne time. It is a national comp after all. Not all of us live in Victoria.

Fair enough, will try to remember that for next week. If someone could send me a reminder tweet on Tuesday that will help. Cheers.
 
On the FOOTYOLOGY PODCAST for ESPN, RoCo & Rocket discuss the growing AFL injury toll only a quarter of the way through the season, plus tribunal fall-out, will North Melbourne hang on to a star, and FULL previews of the Anzac Round.


 
RohanConnolly - loving the pod again this season.

so, we now have the situation (yet again) where the attempt at building support on the Gold Coast and engaging locals is thwarted by the 2 games we play in Darwin, bookmarked either end by a game in Brisbane and in Melbourne. So 5 weeks with no footy up here, nothing in the month of May.

Now I know the Darwin games are tied up in sponsorship etc. But hear me out for an option.

Gather round - extra home games for SA teams - which is unfair on WA, NSW and Qld teams (Vic teams less so as the get lots of games in Melbourne anyway).

My idea - the two back to back games in Darwin should be Adelaide v Gold Coast and Port v Gold Coast.
They become the extra home games for SA teams - not extra Adelaide oval games.
That allows Gold Coast to go back to 11 home games at People First Stadium

No non-Vic team is then given more than 11 home games.
Still support the game in Darwin.
Allows Gold Coast locals to get engaged all season long.
SA teams back to the pre-gather round situation of 11 home games each at Adelaide oval.

What do you think?

Nice idea IMO. But would Crows/Port supporters make a holiday out of it - do they watch each other's games live? I suppose you'd have groups and families who have a mix of supporters?

maybe, maybe not
i dont know many GC supporters who go up currently, so no real difference? its more for the Darwin (and NT people) isnt it?
