Are you sure thats the case ? I wouldnt think the SAAFL would want two D1 games in competition with each other on ANZAC Day.

I think it would be great to play on ANZAC Day but I don't think it should be narrowed down to just one game per division.
I know clubs would love to have massive crowds at their game but it is not about how much money clubs make, its about honouring those who went to war before us!! Although I haven't played on ANZAC day I think it would be one of the biggest games of anyones life - regardless of what level its played!

Thats all good, but i bet you Seaton and, especially, Pt Districts would have gone off their t!ts if another D1/D2 game was programmed on ANZAC day last year. Districts invested alot of time and money into the event.
If the amount of games being played on ANZAC day isnt limited, then doesnt it just become another 'ordinary' footy round.

Interested parties could register their interest in November/December before the season starts, and the SAAFL could decide which match-up would best suit the competition's interests.
Remember, one of the reason's last years worked so well was because it was played between the top 2 sides. And they were both western suburb teams, which enhanced local interest.

How would you feel if 2 newly promoted teams played on ANZAC Day in your division??
Pag is right - it has to 2 local clubs otherwise no interest.

As for this topics game Gepps v Gaza - why do gepps get the right to play when they didn't do too well last year. You would think Gaza and Goodwood would lay claim to rivalry in Div 1 - Goodwood beating gaza in two of the last three GF's!
