I read that Gill McLachlan likes the idea of a Swans V Demons twilight game on Good Friday.
I do too.
If recent form is anything to go by, the Demons will definitely give us a competitive game in the coming years.
It also gives the AFL a relevant game to put up against the NRL.
What do others think?
Plus it will send McGuire another shade of purple.

If anyone other than North gets the Good Friday slot, expect to see lots of frothing from Brayshaw. They seem to think it is their divine entitlement.
I read the AFL was considering having 2 games on Good Friday - one in Melbourne and one in Sydney.

Personally, I'd like to see these poorer Melbourne clubs get a stand alone game...
But Unfortunately for the Kangas V Dogs, there's just is not enough interest outside of their own supporters.
If they do go for 2 games. Then- Kangas V Dogs followed by Demons V Swans would make some sense.

I'd like to see North or the Bullies get a blockbuster home game against one of the big Melbourne clubs (Carlton, Hawthorn, Collingwood or Essendon) as a financial opportunity. It probably should be North as they have been leading the lobbying effort.
The Sydney/Dees game does also make sense as a counter to League in the harbour city. Two games, two cities for mine.
North have this self myth they developed friday noght footy. We played plenty of ftidays in the 80s
Done right, it could set up a big weekend of footy
Thurs night Carlton v Richmond
Fri arvo Sydney v Melbourne
Fri night North v Bulldogs
Sat arvo Gold Coast v Brisbane
Sat night Geelong v Hawthorn
Sun early Collingwood v st Kilda
Sun late Adelaide v Port Adelaide
Mon arvo Essendon v GWS
Mon late West Coast v Fremantle
So are you saying that if the Swans get the Good Friday slot, Eddie and James will crucify us??
CIA Agent to Policeman: "Have you ever had anti-terrorist training?"
Policeman: "Yes, I was married once."
No but he might get a bit cross.......
GWS will get the bye that weekend if all goes to script.
