Possible Marquee Games

[Footy 1st]

We have the Anzac Day Game (plus the Kiwi one), the Dream Time Game, the Queens Birthday game and of course the Derby, Showdown, Q Clash and the Battle of the Bridge.
Add to this Rivalry Round, Women's Round and Heritage Round (when played) and the AFL Calendar could be quite packed with themed 'events'...

Are they missing any opportunities to create a new 'big game' or could teams be altered for some of them?

I think Hawks Cats on Easter Monday is a winner but are there bigger possible marquee games? If so who & when?

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda. The 'Who Cares' cup.

 

[JUBJUB]

The 'Who Gives A Shit Game' ?
I'm thinking StKilda & Freo could play that game

St. Kilda V Freo contests are so shit the timekeeper fell asleep and forgot to blow the siren once.

Oddly enough, the Fat Rat's Clacker Cup could be quite the fixture, these days.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Hawthorn v Essendon

 

[billy fragos]

Adelaide v collignwood

Biggest interstate club vs biggest Victorian club

Adelaide v collignwood

Biggest interstate club vs biggest Victorian club

Adelaide aren't even the biggest club in their state.

 

[FRUMPY]

Could play a game under a big tent and have a real marquee game

 

[telsor]

North Melbourne Vs Sydney for the 'chip on the shoulder' cup.

Winner gets bragging rights for 'we're picked on worst'.

Different clubs fans can challenge the winner each year.

Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda. The 'Who Cares' cup.

Obviously the afl cares enough to not try locate us to the Gold Coast, and now tassie..

 

[joop]

Adelaide aren't even the biggest club in their state.

Yes they are, by a long way

 

[JUBJUB]

Geelong v Melbourne could be played for 'The w***er Mayors Cup'*



* of course this could be short lived if one of them gets the arse at the next council election

 

[Wooljay]

Good Friday will happen, probably the next 'blockbuster' that doesn't exist already.

Hope it's a pair of good competitive teams though.

 

[cammo78]

Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda. The 'Who Cares' cup.

When it's played on Good Friday, I think a lot of people will care.

When it's played on Good Friday, I think a lot of people will care.

Why?

Case in point Easter Monday (before the AFL bit the bullet and scheduled Hawthorn v Geelong)

Its only a matter of time before they do the same sought of thing with Mothers Day and schedule a Carlton V Collingwood type match...

As for themed rounds, an LGBTQIA awareness round could be added.

 

[Bacon Warrior]

West Coast v collignwood

Biggest interstate club vs biggest Victorian club

EFA

EFA

Crowds don't lie

 

[Big_Birdy]

Crowds don't lie

Port got the biggest crowd at AO

 

[Bacon Warrior]

Crowds don't lie

Stadium size does though.

 

[DerpWerls]

Interstate club Vs Collingwood is never going to be a marquee game sorry guys

A Winter Solstice match on the other hand...

As for themed rounds, an LGBTQIA awareness round could be added.

I know this is a popular idea but it just comes off as being a bit condescending in my opinion.

Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda. The 'Who Cares' cup.

Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda. The 'Who Cares' cup.

It must be so easy to support such a relevant, massive club as North Melbourne ...
