Will be North Melbourne possibly playing the Bulldogs.

So, how many of the people screaming for this will be attending?

NORTH Melbourne will play in football’s first Good Friday game.

The Kangaroos, who first approached the AFL with the concept in 1992, will be confirmed as one of the participants in the marquee timeslot when the 2017 fixture is released on Thursday.

Their likely opponent will be the blockbuster-starved Western Bulldogs, who are set to be rewarded for its stunning 2016 season with a place in the stand-alone twilight contest.

I think it will generate a good turnout because it's a public holiday and I think it's a great opportunity for supporters (if they haven't done so already) and the AFL to donate to the Good Friday appeal at the ground.

No surprise that North are securing this fixture as they've campaigned for it for a number of years now. I suspect the Bulldogs will play them as the article noted that they have a lack of blockbuster games and they've just come off winning a premiership.

I'm quite indifferent to Good Friday football. I was never a passionate advocate for introducing it, but nonetheless I'm content with it at the same time.

What kind of world do we live in where North Vs Bulldogs is considered a blockbuster?!

Just because its a public holiday, does not make it a blockbuster.

If it attracts a small crowd then Morth will asking for us or Essendrug to help them out. But good news for me who is in a Buddhist country and something to watch before I go out.
