Bushfire Clash: Victoria v All Stars, Friday, February 28, 7.50pm (7, Fox, Kayo, AFL app)

When and Where The game will take place on Friday, February 28. It's set to get underway at 7.50pm (AEDT), with the match coming after an AFLW game between Collingwood and Melbourne at the same venue. Keen observers will note this places the clash on the same weekend as the second round of...

The game will be on on at the same time as preseason games, so every club is already letting their best players play a month before the season starts....

JLT / charity all stars game, just as likely to get injured in either.

The clubs don't see it that way. With pre-season games, the clubs are in control of the workloads and player management.

 

[Hawk Time]

You Debbie Downers will not get your way. This game will happen.

You live in fantasy land.......

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Sounds like they want a vic vs all stars game that's a no for me. Should be vic vs south aus at marvel and wa vs allies in Perth.

Aliies are just as shit as All-Stars.
For a charity game it might as be all-stars, its meaningless in terms of the match outcome anyway.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Every other sport in the world gets to see their best players running out in the same team

You've been asked to stop saying this lie many times. Stop repeating this lie.

Ok Deb...

 

[Engimal v3]

Nah, I don't give a shit about watching "The Allies"

 

[footyfan1978]

Yeah, **** the Allies off. Real representatives teams is so much better,

 

[Hawk Time]

Ok Deb...

Anyway there will be no game that your bullshiting on about so goodbye ......

 

[Cuzz09]

Just make the JLT series every goal = $5000

On SM-G925I using BigFooty.com mobile app

Whatever you say Deb...

 

[Nostradumbass]

No. Allies mean fu** all.

You'd know all about that.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Would be like watching glorified circle work, practice matches on at this time so just take a % from each game and make a final donation at the conclusion.

 

[mrmonkey]

Aliies are just as shit as All-Stars.
For a charity game it might as be all-stars, its meaningless in terms of the match outcome anyway.

Yeah but I think that would be better received in wa. Ourside of wa sa and Vic I don't think the other states would be strong enough. Anyway I think a vic vs sa or wa would be better than all stars. It is the reason sate of origin doesn't work in afl because more than 2 states play the game.

 

[W.C. Fry]

You live in fantasy land.......

It's you in fantasy land if you think the AFL would leak that the game is likely to happen, allow a story about it to be run on their own website then not stage the game. PR disaster waiting to happen. Only way to recover from would be to hand over massive amounts of cash instead.

But they are wearing their clubs colours not some bullshit alliance or different state colours.

I wouldnt be a fan of Cogs getting injured playing for WA if NSW can't be included.

Allies is garbage.

 

[Colonial]

You'd know all about that.

Some of you lot got really cocky over the last 3 years.

Will be enjoyable watching you fall again.

Got a feeling your going to be proven wrong.

 

[Farang83150]

I would be a fan of Cogs getting injured playing for WA if NSW can't be included.

WTF...

 

[footyfan1978]

Conigs, Crippa and Fyfe together against the Big V would be good to see. Give The Sandgropers a fighting chance for sure.

 

[fpm84]

Reckon it will be more like NBA All Star game where two team captains (last year LeBron and Giannis) selected their own teams.

Team Danger and team Fyfe sounds likely to me.

 

[Colonial]

WTF...

****ing auto correct. Obviously it's supposed to be wouldn't.

 

[Chief]

Just donate the money without the ******* gimmick

They can possibly leverage their position to encourage more people to donate.

 

[Elite Master]

Has to be a legit style SOO or it doesn't work. Expect the AFL to have 2 captain's select there own "dream teams" and the format to be a modified version of AFLX. Gil will think it's a great idea.

 

[Chuckie357]

Have one round of JLT matches - every game out in the country somewhere and donate everything and usually the week before the season starts which is the last week of the JLT stuff teams play at the usual stadiums where afl is played, have the SoO games then and possibly one more during the bye week before finals with lesser players playing from teams that aren’t in finals
