The Friday night thing is great, but will wait to see the details.
Has to be Channel 7, national coverage with the full lead in, half time, post game etc.
I just can't help but think there will be a catch, like the Showdown is a Foxtel game or 7 in Melbourne get to take the Foxtel game and the Showdown is on delay or 7 will take both games and cut to our game 5 minutes after the bounce or the half time feature will be another Port produced performance of the creed or something.
It's not about the supporters at the game, it's that package that certain clubs and other big games get over and over again, it would probably be a good long term investment to get the public used to seeing games like the Showdown, games with teams regardless off whether or not they are traditional Victorian teams on Friday nights.
Totally get why 7 would do it, they get the best of both worlds.
