Footy on good friday

just want to see what people think,,

Yeah footy should be on Monday to Monday :D

I love footy but I like the idea of no footy on good Friday, not because of religion.  I can spend the day with the missus so that way I can spend the next 3 days watching footy :)

Agree partly with you Valk - Great to spend the day with wife and families but surely a Good Friday Night game would round off the day for the blokes!!!

A match on Good Friday could be the biggest game of the year bar the GF...

Anzac day is the biggest game of the year Q. I doubt Good Friday would pull same amount of crowds .

Yeah it would. There's nothing to do on Good Friday...

[TheMailman]

What two teams would you put against if it was to be a blockbuster?

There are no really big rivalries since the WC vs. Syd one went past.

Agree with Ringo here, a Friday night game could/should be played. Everyones religious commitments etc have been completed by the evening.
You could have a religious figure offer a prayer instead of the National anthem, maybe a minutes silence or not but the AFL could make the game all about Easter rather than not acknowledge it at all as they do.

reading oday's paper, Chris McDermott had an article saying how the South Australia should get in early and try to host something on a special day. They are alot of locked in games through the year and none are in Adelaide. E.g. ANZAC day, Easter Thrusday, First game of the year, Queen's Birthday.

An option he said was go to only 1 showdown per year and make sure it gets priority over every other game that weekend.

The other was a double header: 1:30 game followed by a 8:00 game. Specifically Crows vs Hawks then Port vs Brizzy.


I'd love either of those to happen.

south adelaide played against sturt on Good Friday at Noarlunga and they got like 3X the nomal crowd to the game.
  so that shows something

you get a 4 day weekend out of respect for goodfriday. Fine if you want footy played on friday, but to be completely fair that means you shouldn't get your 2 days public holidays.

so everyone should just shut the flower up.
