The AFL's Gather Round is continuing to gather momentum — and Gillon McLachlan admits the league is now facing a selection headache of sorts, as it works out where the fixture will be held in future.
The AFL said all nine Gather Round games were sell-outsBut he said Adelaide had so far made a strong case for the round "to be here for a while"
"We will make an assessment on Monday — I know New South Wales and WA are keen but this state has done a hell of a job." "We were hoping for good crowds that would be respectable," SA Premier Peter Malinauskas said this morning in Mount Barker, where tomorrow's match between North Melbourne and Brisbane will be held.
The airport's executive general manager of terminals, Dermot O'Neill, said the site is currently having its busiest day since COVID-19 began to impact travel. The AFL's Laura Kane likened the enthusiasm for the event to "Grand Final week", and expects Gather Round to become an annual fixture."Did I think every game would sell out? Maybe not — but really pleased to see that it has," she said.
