Easter is early next year so I think it will probably fall 2 weeks before the season starts.

Where would you want to play the game? I see the Scorpions are interested in upgrading the lights at Casey Fields to 200 lux so that the ground can host VFL football at night.

The VFL game would clash then and therefore AFL Victoria would have spend a considerable amount of money as well as time promoting the game so as to ensure a decent crowd turns up.

I knew the club wanted this at some stage, but to happen by our 3rd year at Casey Fields is much quicker than I originally expected, It would be fantastic for the club if it were to happen. I'll try and find out a bit more and keep you posted.

It was mentioned in this week's edition of Inside Football. Thanks, Iceman.

I want night VFL footy. I'd prefer it to be somewhere closer to Melbourne and not as cold and windy as Cranbourne though :roll: Let's light up TEAC Oval!!!!!

Toorak Park Prahran is another option if they got the ground up to scratch. Monday night footy ?? Worth another try like in 2000 season.

Not sure about Toorak Park, George. How much would it cost to get it up to scratch?

VFL footy on Good Friday? I don't like it but i can see it happening in the future but l won't be going. Wouldn't want any involvement in it. Myself being a Catholic, it's a sacred day and footy should never be played on this day. If my beloved Pies ever did, it would be tough not to attend but hopefully that occasion will never take place. Evan Go Pies:)
