Gather Round is one of the most exciting weekends on the AFL calendar — but this year, you can experience it in a way that goes far beyond the boundary line.

On Friday 10 April 2025, Grand Central will host an exclusive Gather Round Business Luncheon featuring two of the game’s most celebrated figures: Peter Daicos and Dane Swan. With just over a month to go and tickets selling fast, this is your opportunity to secure a seat at one of the most sought-after events of the round.

Two Legends. One Exclusive Event.

Few names carry as much weight in modern AFL as Peter Daicos and Dane Swan.

Peter Daicos, famously known as “The Macedonian Marvel,” is regarded as one of the most naturally gifted players to ever pull on a Collingwood guernsey. A premiership player and match-winner capable of the impossible, Daicos built his reputation on skill, composure and brilliance under pressure. His legacy continues to influence the modern game, and his insights into elite football environments are second to none.

Dane Swan, a Brownlow Medallist and 2010 Premiership player, was one of the most dominant midfielders of his era. Known for his work rate, consistency and ability to perform on the biggest stage, Swan’s career offers a unique perspective on leadership, resilience and the realities of professional sport.

Together, they bring decades of elite-level experience, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

More Than Just a Lunch

This isn’t a typical sports panel. It’s an intimate, premium event designed for connection and conversation.

Guests will enjoy:

• A two-course premium luncheon
• Three hours of beverages*
• Live conversation and Q&A with Peter Daicos and Dane Swan
• A room full of like-minded professionals and footy enthusiasts

(*Tap Beer, Pepperjack Shiraz, Upside Down Sauvignon Blanc, Lindemans Brut Sparkling, Soft Drinks and Juices included.)

Expect honest reflections from inside premiership campaigns, insights into handling pressure at the highest level, lessons in leadership and performance — and plenty of memorable moments along the way.
