CibbuanoNo Good Friday game in '09: Demetriou
June 16th 2008 07:10
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou has ruled out playing matches on Good Friday next season.
Demetriou said the AFL had looked closely at the broadcasting arrangements for the Easter weekend and was of the view that a match on Easter Thursday night worked extremely well for the competition before games on Easter Saturday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
The decision means the AFL remains the only major football code that does not play on that day with the National Rugby League and the Super 14 rugby union competition both regularly staging matches on Good Friday
