Next year is the 100th anniversary of Australian troops landing at Gallipoli, and also the perfect time for a Canberra sports extravaganza to remember Anzac Day.

Think about this proposal for a second.
It all starts the night before Anzac Day, when a packed house of 25,000 at Canberra Stadium rises to attention to see Australia face New Zealand in the trans-Tasman rugby league Test.
Dawn service is held on Saturday morning on Anzac Day, with more than 30,000 people paying their respects for the men and women who have served this country over the past century.
The GWS Giants march on to Manuka Oval on Saturday afternoon for a 2.10pm start.
The last post plays. A crowd of more than 12,000 stands to attention.
Move on to Saturday night and head out to Bruce where the Australian Diamonds face the New Zealand Silver Ferns in a blockbuster netball encounter.
A packed house of 4000 at the AIS Arena witnesses the two best teams in the world play with the emotion and passion only Anzac Day can bring.
Just when the weekend is over, there is still time to fit in a massive Super Rugby encounter on the Sunday afternoon.
In bright sunshine and perfect weather, the Brumbies take on the Canterbury Crusaders, hopefully with the blessing of SANZAR the national anthems of both countries will be echoing around the ground.
Some may say something like that is wishful thinking. That Canberra may not have the population, especially around a long weekend, to fill the stadiums for all four major events.
I disagree.
We saw last year when the rugby league Test for the first time was held in Canberra as part of the Canberra Centenary that the national capital has an appetite for elite sport.
Crowds for the Giants' AFL games in Canberra are slowly improving and, truth be told, have been generally stronger than those at their home base in western Sydney.
The netball Test will easily be a sell out.
Tickets flew out the door when Australia and New Zealand squared off in Canberra last year, with the Diamonds winning an absolute classic.
And, as for the Brumbies, anything less than 15,000 would be a disappointing figure for last year's grand finalists against a Crusaders team, which has a strong support base.
The biggest question would be about putting all four in the space of three days and seeing if the crowds would still be there, especially when families may have left town for the long weekend.
It's worth a crack in the Australian city where Anzac Day resonates the most.
For too long, Canberra has been forgotten when it comes to playing sport on Anzac Day.
Melbourne has done it the best.
The iconic AFL match between old foes Essendon and Collingwood at the MCG should be something on everyone's bucket list.
I was lucky enough to attend the game a few years ago.
Even with standing room tickets in the outer, the feeling of hearing the last post in a cauldron of 95,000 footy fans is a sporting experience second to none.
If you still crave another sporting contest, simply walk across the road to AAMI Park where the Melbourne Storm takes on the New Zealand Warriors.
It has become the biggest game of the Storm's season, drawing crowds of more than 22,000 to one of the best rectangular stadiums in the country.
Sydney has always had the rugby league rivalry between the Sydney Roosters and the St George Illawarra Dragons.
This year, Brisbane is getting in on the action with the Broncos hosting South Sydney in what should be a packed Suncorp Stadium.
Kudos to the Brumbies for having the foresight to lobby for an Anzac Day game against New Zealand opposition.
The same goes to the NSW Swifts netball team for bringing their ANZ Championship game against the Southern Steel, based in Invercargill in New Zealand, to Canberra.
It's becoming more and more common among professional sporting teams that, when they visit Canberra, to have a trip to the Australian War Memorial on their itinerary.
It's one of the great reminders of why we all owe an enormous amount to the men and women who gave their lives so we can enjoy the luxuries we have today.
Former Wallabies captain and Brumbies star David Pocock is right.
It's wrong to use such terms as battle, hero and sacrifice in sport when they should be reserved for those soldiers and warriors who are on the front line.
Going to war isn't when a team gives everything it has to win a game.
There is simply no comparison.
However, sport has the ability to bring our society together.
To pay tribute, even in the smallest possible way, to the amazing sacrifice those who have gone before us have made to give us our freedom.
I can think of no better way than having a sporting extravaganza in the capital of Australia to remember those men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
