C'mon AFC, you know it makes sense. I know you've got a team of paid experts in your marketing department but the fish has jumped right in the boat here. Let's not outsmart ourselves.
Adelaide vs Fremantle
Play for the Tony Modra Cup
Also forget a best players medal. That's been done a million times and is booooo-rrrrring. Best speckie, as judged by a panel of experts comprised of Tony Modra.
Let's celebrate all that's good about the game.
And while I'm here, Eddie Betts Cup for the Carlton games and raise money for Eddie's charity at the games.
Medal for...? You guessed it, best goal
When the showdown started a lot of other rivalries brought in trophies and tried the extended marketing involved but over time they all disappeared as the interest levels werent able to be maintained. Where I think this idea would be great would have been the old 90s era style Crows Show. Was a great show to engage kids into the sport and your line of thinking for marks and goals is an excellent fit for kids. It could be even something as similar as an SA footy show where both clubs send players for a panel and they judge the best goals and marks. I dont know.
But in truth I think interest will die off really quick from an adults perspective.
