Good Friday Footy

[swansrule100]

yes or no for good friday??

im not sure why collingwood get to play it. I liked the comment (i think it was from richmond) in todays herald...that eddie will just submit collingwoods 22 games for next year and the other 15 clubs will fight for whats left.

But generally speaking im in favour, but i dont know why collingwood should get to play........

I do understand religous concerns, but I am not religious at all, so I think Good Friday is a great day to have a game on.

if its a night game there wont be any clash with church anyway surely days like easter sunday are just as holy and we play on them


hey damien did u see they are naming tassies team of the century?

[Destructive]

They should leave it as is, I'm pretty used to there not being any AFL on Good Friday.

No, when and where? Including everyone? or just Tasmanians who played VFL/AFL?

Good Friday is most boring day of the year nothing happens, Nothing on TV except a bunch of drop kick "celebraties" on the Kids appeal. (that usually costs me $100). It would be good to see some action, but not the wobbles.

Cool, one Rocket Eade is nominated! We could end up with a few people with swans links.

Left Half Back Flank - Rodney Eade (Glenorchy, Hawthorn, Brisbane ) (Head Coach, Sydney)


Rodney Eade began his senior football career with Glenorchy in 1975 where he made an immediate impact, catching the eye of mainland talent scouts and being voted the best first year player in the TFL. He moved to Hawthorn the following year and went on to be a tremendous performer for the Hawks in 229 games over the course of the next twelve seasons. Wearing the number 26 jumper previously made famous by fellow Tasmanian great Peter Hudson (Eade's coach while at Glenorchy) he played in a premiership side during his debut season at Glenferrie and added further appearances in flag-winning combinations in 1978, 1983 and 1986. In 1988 he was named captain of the Tasmanian team which competed at the Bicentennial Australian football carnival in Adelaide. Eade joined Brisbane in 1988 but found himself stymied by injury and was only able to add a further 30 senior games over his final three seasons in League football. There have been flashier and more extravagantly skilled players than Rodney Eade, but few who were as exhilarating to watch when in full flight.
