I agree. Should be no more than 1 per division and the preference should be given to the Grand Final replay.

However, I will be paying my respect at Dawn Service, followed by rum and coffee at breakfast and then copious amounts of beer.

well just incase u missed it last year come along this week and see all the action once again
personally the hype out weighs the event
one teams highly satisfied with premiership medals in their bedside tables, and the other team is either still highly sulking about it or are out for vengence with incomparable gain
at grassroot level allowing mini suburban communities host an anzac day event is club & culture building. let these small entities have their day in the sun. no matter how many matches are played every event will be commemorating the anzacs with the highest honour so no harm done

zactly..why should anzac day be kept for the "elite" only..these games at local grounds grow the anzac legend in a world that lives so much for the "now" and forgets our history..it allows hundreds of players and supporters to become more aware of just what the day is truly about and the hosting club does all it can to make it a special occasion..at our game we have the minutes silence, the last post, national anthem and toin coss by a digger..how is that not showing respect?? if the game is held the next day not one reference is made to the anzacs and the day goes by like all the others in the year..clubs playing in these games on friday are doing a great service to the memory of the anzacs and in educating the new generations..more power to them..

My view is that having too many takes away from making the games that are played on ANZAC day special.
A quick survey of the Div 1 and 2 games this weekend shows that 7 of the 10 games are being played on ANZAC day!
