How good would this be. Easter Show followed by the local derby at ANZ Stadium on Good Friday. Would be massive. Please make it happen AFL, Swans and Giants.

GREATER Western Sydney Giants will push the AFL for an "iconic" day to build their derby with the Sydney Swans next year with Good Friday one of two contenders for a permanent calendar spot.
It is believed that Good Friday or playing a stand-alone fixture a week before the rest of the AFL competition starts are the two options that have been discussed between the clubs and senior figures in the game.
The AFL's Anzac Day clash between Collingwood and Essendon has developed into the biggest game of the year outside of the grand final, a major event idea copied by the NRL with their scheduling of the St George Illawarra and Roosters game since 2002.
But an AFL game in Sydney on Good Friday, locked permanently into ANZ Stadium to capitalise off the adjacent Easter Show crowds, would be the perfect return serve in the Sydney turf battle.
