Relive the Rivalry

On another sad note, past Victorian / All-Stars Player and 2-Time North Melbourne Premiership Player Amy Smith will miss the upcoming AFL Women's season after rupturing her ACL during training recently,

In the last two seasons particularly, Amy has become an important cog in the Kangaroo’s line-up finishing last season in the Top 3 of their B&F.

We wish you well with your rehabilitation Amy, you’ll be back better than ever in no time with the great people you have around you.

Tomorrow two men that have had the opportunity to play in “RELIVE THE RIVALRY” play significant milestone games for their respective clubs.

SCOTT BLIZZARD (Smithton / Circular Head Saints) and ADAM JEFFREY (Latrobe) both run out tomorrow and play their 400th Club Game which is astonishing in this day and age.

We wish you both well and thank you for being apart of the “RTR” family.

Sending our thoughts and love to Tony Modra and his family.

“MODS” came down and played in one of our early games played at North Hobart.

Tony was in a truck accident earlier tonight and is currently in a critical condition.

Pleased to announce that KAYES FENCING have again thrown their support behind our game by Player Sponsoring ALEX GILMOUR.

Thank you Darren, Ang and family for your continued support.

Congratulations to DUSTIN FLETCHER who last night was inducted into the AFL Football Hall of Fame.

The 400 Game Legend is a highly respected individual and his illustrious history speaks for itself. This acknowledgement is thoroughly deserved.

We are super pleased to announce that we have secured METRICON HOMES as a KEY SPONSOR of “RELIVE THE RIVALRY” in 2026.

Metricon Homes⁠ is one of Australia’s largest residential home builders and focuses mainly on new detached homes, house-and-land packages, knockdown rebuilds, and display homes. The company was founded in 1976 in Melbourne and operates across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

A few things Metricon is known for:

• Volume home building — offering a large catalogue of standardised home designs with customisation options
• Display villages — where buyers walk through finished display homes before selecting layouts and upgrades
• House & land packages — bundling a home design with a land lot@
• Multiple product ranges — from first home-buyer focused designs through to larger family and premium homes

Metricon has consistently ranked as Australia’s largest home builder by volume and in 2025 was recognised as the country’s top home builder for the 10th consecutive year in the HIA Housing Top 100 report.

Dion Planken – Regional Manager – Regional West commented “We are really excited and proud to be supporting the Relive the Rivalry legends football match this year at Queenscliff”.

“Jaimes and his team do an amazing job to support those in need, and this is something that we align with here at Metricon, furthermore, we are thrilled that the event is supporting one of our local food relief kitchens ‘The Bay Leaf’. A non-for-profit that our Geelong office also work closely with”.

“Football is in our Metricon DNA supporting the Geelong umpires and our partnership with the Footy Record, so this partnership is something that makes a lot of sense to us and we can’t wait to be a part of its success by raising much needed funds for our community”.

This is a huge gain for our game securing a relationship with virtually a mainland wide company who do some great things in the community. We hope this is the start of a long-time relationship.

If you are looking at building a home, look no further than the wonderful crew at Metricon – for more information, check out their website – www.metricon.com.au

Can’t wait for this announcement tomorrow as we wind right up in preparation for our 2026 Game.

Pleased to announce that SHAUN HUNTER has thrown his support behind our game again, Player Sponsoring Tasmanian IAN CALLINAN.

Shaun is also one of our great volunteers we are taking away to Game 13 in Melbourne this year.
