Good crowd at the NRL last night lol.

 

[uvelocity]

hows the crowd at bellerive this arvo?

 

[benchmark00]

tbf can't expect anyone to show up to an NRL game, theyve got better things to do than be cooped up in a stuffy stadium.

[uvelocity]

That's right!

Just one live FTA game per week for the next five years

What a way to grow the sport!

They ****ed up their TV deal last year; dropped the ball, so to speak

In a largely secular society which Australia is, I don't see the great sin about playing footy on Good Friday

ANZAC day is more sacrosanct than Good Friday, and look at how the AFL exploit the ANZAC legend

Not that I have a problem with how the AFL do ANZAC day

There really is no sound reason for not playing. Football is played across the country in local leagues. In my former local comp a priest tossed the coin yesterday ffs. It's such a non issue.

The only thing is that AFL wouldn't want to clash with the Good Friday appeal. That's fine, just play the match interstate instead.

Good Friday appeal?

Good Friday appeal?

Case in point, people outside of Victoria have often never heard of it.

The Good Friday appeal is a big thing that's run in Victoria where it raises money for the Royal Children's hospital in Melbourne. It's a big deal down there. There's a telethon on Channel 7 all day and celebrities get on the phone etc etc. it raises about $15million each Good Friday.

[Spikey]

[Spikey]

[Spikey]

[Johnners]
