2022 AFL offseason - trades - draft

[Booney]

Presser shortly with Gill and Pete the Premier launching Magic Round in SA next year.

6 games will be at AO.

What a joke!!!

Soon every round will represent something and people will sit out with hurt feelings.

Just play the bloody game.

I seen a proposed itinerary that some retired footy player put together, it was ridiculous.

What have you got against magic?

Anti-trickite.

[Spargo]

It's an extra round of footy that replaces a useless pre-season practice match. I cannot understand the hurt people have over this. Crowies and Porties will still be able to go, and supporters of other clubs get a free hit without having to pay for flights and accomm to see their team play.

Absolutely. Our household is half North half West Coast. Trips to Perth are bloody expensive & it’s rare both teams play in Melbourne the same round. I’ve got schoolmates now living in Victoria that follow North, Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton, Adelaide, Port who will all bring their families over that weekend. Can’t wait.

GWS v Freo infront of 7k fans at AO sounds awesome....

They giving away tickets? May aswell play it at Mofflin Reserve.

So each club plays 23 minor round games?

I don't mind the concept so much, there's just no need to name the round IMO.

Agree, can't wait to see North play here against someone else other than the SA teams

If a conservative estimate of 3000 people from each of the 16 non-SA clubs come to the state 48,000 people will be filling our hotels, motels, carvan parks, friends spare bedrooms, restaurants, pubs, tourist destinations.

If the SA government has stumped up the $500k each of the clubs get then it's 100% money well spent.

How do you know North won't be one of the two teams to play Adelaide or Port

Going to happen to two Clubs

[Dutchy]

yeah I know, was thinking that when I typed it

[Brodlach]

Surely Melbourne to play in the Barossa, the cellar door sales will be huge.

Would make sense to play GC and GWS against the local clubs.

Yes.

Season will start Adelaide Cup Weekend. The Monday is also a public holiday in Victoria.

"It needs to have its own life and its on identity."

Officially open for ideas on the name of the new round that will be held in South Australia next year.

Matches at Adelaide Oval on Thursday night, Friday night, double headers on Saturday & Sunday. Remaining matches at suburban grounds & potentially one regional. The Barossa seems to be the front runner, which 2 other local grounds?

Norwood mentioned and I'd guess Richmond, has hosted AFL pre season matches so the goal posts / coaches boxes have been upgraded and with some portable toilets and food truck could host a crowd close to the city.

I’d hope Glenelg would throw their hat in the ring. Tram from the city, ground will be in great condition, AFL goal posts & upgraded coaches boxes. Plenty of pubs, restaurants, cafes nearby to go to pre/post match…

Cricket pitch maybe an issue for the AFL?

Should be fine by mid April.

No worries then, I'll just go find that rock then and crawl back under it.

[Dutchy]

They won't play on anywhere with a cricket pitch, if there are other options without
