AFL executive Travis Auld has guaranteed the inaugural Gather Round will be such a success that it will leave fans "raving".
Adelaide and Carlton will kick off the Gather Round in Adelaide in April when all 18 teams converge on the city for round five.
Dubbed 'Gather Round for A Festival of Footy', clubs will play nine matches over four days at three different venues, with the Crows and Blues first-up on Thursday, April 13 at Adelaide Oval.
