Good Friday Footy, it's our time

That's the spirit.

Also because the dogs are my religion and it would be sacrilegious not to have them play.

Re: Good Friday Footy, 2015

Great fit for the two sides who bill themselves as the 'community clubs', tie it in with the appeal and it's a terrific PR boost. We have to pack out the ground though, it does more harm than good if all we draw is another 25k crowd like the one that turned up in Round 2

We'll well well, all this nonsense about equalisation and the big boys like the Adelaide Ravens and Caaaarlton get in on the act.

hopefully we are one of those clubs!

i think North v Dogs would be able to pull decent crowds. We did have almost 29,000 at a Sunday twilight game in round 2 this year.

There is no smaller club than us so that sounds very promising. If we were to get it then i think all bulldog members have to commit to going even if it is an away game. Fingers crossed!

I knew I liked that bloke, c'mon Gill give us and the Roo's the game!

Would make perfect sense to start the game at Etihad and if it outgrows it fantastic, it can always be moved. What is clear from the past is that once these traditional games become established, there is no changing them, so we NEED to do do everything humanly possible now to make this happen.

Wish JB and the Roos would get their head out of their arses aswell bedding with Carlton. Bit hypocritical for them to say they deserve the game because they are a struggling club, then try and hook up with a larger club so they can kill the pig!

Re: Good Friday Footy, 2015

The AFL Commission has approved for the scheduling of a match on Good Friday. The Executive will determine if to play on that day next year.

The AFL Commission has not yet determined which teams may play on Good Friday, nor in which state.

Re: Good Friday Footy, 2015

Hopefully the timing of this announcement is suspiciously aligned to our big win over the biggest club in the country - thus suddenly making us "relevant"!!

As opposed to everyone saying "why them!!??"

Re: Good Friday Footy, 2015

Caro has tweeted it will likely be Dogs v Roos. I think that is a great result if it pans out that way. North give me the s**ts with their attitude on this. Apparently they came up with the idea and they should play Carlton and thats it. I always had a soft spot for the Roos. It was a connection/ bond of one battling club to another. For me since JB has taken the reigns there they seem to try very hard to shake their working class identity which I think is a shame. I would much rather our approach of winning the west etc. Port Adelaide use their working class background to their advantage and I see us also making inroads. Anyway I would love to see us playing anybody on Good Friday.

Re: Good Friday Footy, 2015

Fingers crossed, would be massive for both us and North.

Can I make a joke about other people being crossed for Good Friday or is that too far?

Feel free to delete if that's a bridge to far. Apologies if anyone's offended.

Is the real Caro on twitter now? Gillon saying because of the cricket World Cup next year there might be no Good Friday game next year as it would be the opening game plus ground condition/availability...

Re: Good Friday Footy, 2015

If Caro's spouting it then put a big black line through it. The only way I would be more certain it wasn't happening is if Greg Denham were saying it.
