I stand corrected but I thought Friday night was the Channel 7 live game. Problem here is they have the Victorian institution called "The Good Friday RCH Telethon", that goes until midnight.
Ch7 would have to forego that game and allow it to be exclusively on Fox Footy.
I wonder if that is in the TV rights agreement.
Vlad said last year on ABC radio it wouldn't happen because of the impact it would have on the RCH appeal, as well as the Church thing.
A game will be played on Good Friday soon enough - may as well be us.
You'll find taht more people consider AFL their religion than anything else.
Happy to play anyobe except Collingwood. Don't care if they will bring in more $$$, they have too many big days already.
Don't really care for the Good Friday appeals - to me they're just a way for a good deal of the majority to give a bit of cash and feel good about themselves.
Unfortunately, it all goes to one charity, which I think is wrong - it should be rotated through otehr worthy charities.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
In an age where C7 have a number of digital channels I don't see why a charity telethon should stand in the way of C7 also broadcasting an AFL game. They can just show it on Mate, which they already use to broadcast AFL in the evening spots in NSW and Queensland.
