Australian Football Sesquicentennial - Back to suburban grounds in preseason
The AFL have launched their sesquicentennial celebrations. Sheedy will be involved and the logo has been unveiled, although it looks like it says 15 degrees as the 0 is a lot smaller than the 5 where it says "150".
There is still time to suggest a few more ideas to celebrate 150 years of football, here is one that could be possible, playing some of the preseason games at the historical venues of the clubs.
The preseason competition may not even exist in 2008, as it is possible that the State Of Origin series could replace it. If the preseason does go ahead then that is the time to do something different. A game at Windy Hill, Princes Park, Moorabbin, Footscray or Moorabbin. A return to VFL Park, that would certainly be appreciated by some fans, maybe not the neighbours though. Port Adelaide and Fremantle could also host games at their historical grounds.
This could occur during the first round of the preseason. The AFL accountants may not agree, but it would also be a good idea for entry to be free.
What could be better than reliving the past of football by standing out on the concrete to watch a game. It would bring back a lot of memories for the older fans and could help educate some of the younger supporters. The Magpies versus Brisbane Lions at Victoria Park, maybe it could happen with Coach Matthews returning to that venue for one more game.
