NRL Double Header
Saturday 11 April | Optus Stadium
Us West Aussies might be hardcore AFL tragics, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get around NRL from time to time - especially as we gear up to get our own team next year. We’re getting a taste of what’s to come next month, with a double-header featuring the Rabbitohs, Raiders, Sharks and Roosters.
Western Derby: West Coast Eagles v Fremantle Dockers
Sunday 19 April | Optus Stadium
You know what I just said about being AFL tragics? Well that energy will be out in full force for the iconic Western Derby this April. The game’s always a sell-out and should definitely be a bucket list item for any self-respecting sporting fan. Whether you’re donning purple or the blue and gold, all that matters is that you bring that West Aussie passion for footy.
