The AFL’s Gather Round continues
The Brick Wall and the Dead Pocket are about to have their cameos as the AFL goes deep into the game’s suburban and country roots.
Just as Moorabbin’s Animal Enclosure and Whitten Oval’s Doug Hawkins Wing were landmarks when the old VFL was all about Melbourne suburban venues, Gather Round will introduce Norwood Oval and Mount Barker to the national competition.
Norwood, a classic inner-suburban local footy ground dating back to 1901, will host Fremantle v Gold Coast on Friday afternoon and GWS v Hawthorn on Sunday.

It’s the second day of the AFL’s Gather Round. First, the Fremantle Dockers and Gold Coast Suns clash at Norwood Oval, before Richmond and the Sydney Swans clash in a big Friday night match.
