From an AFL.com.au article:
The Age reports that the new club is hoping to launch its inaugural AFL season with a stand-alone game on the vacant weekend before the start of the 2012 home and away season, which is typically on a Thursday night
The broadsheet reports: "The Giants and AFL are working on a plan that would launch the new club into the football-free weekend which immediately follows the NAB Cup grand final."
It is suggested the game "would be staged in the rugby league heartland of ANZ Stadium". Holmes confirmed the plan. It is expected the Giants would hope to play the Sydney Swans in the game.
