Re: Fixture proposal
Nope, not kidding you.
They want to introduce Monday Night Football on a more regular basis, that will be big for TV especially, the market opening up for the Gold Coast & West Sydney area's, there used to be a massive rival between Vic clubs, Collingwood v Carlton, Richmond v Carlton, Essendon v Collingwood in the 70's & 80's, but that has dominished to a point, since the competition went National, to only play those games once per season as well would generate alot more interest as a one off per season.
Perhaps they could also re-introduce State Of Origin either before the main season or the first break, with a shorter season, that could also be an option.
With the tv rights, those extra showcase games & the fact that this deal would generate a more quality over quantity package, the way the game has been growing over the past 10-20 years, Television stations would fight all the way to secure the rights, they know how big this game is and how much money they generate by having the rights, having the less games won't be an issue as long as there is strong competition imo.
