..listen, in regards to the whole giddy up friday deal, there should be no wishywashy crap.. ..either the govt comes out of the christian closet and makes a stand, or goes the whole hog of saying it's a non-religious govt and then actually being a non-religious govt.. ..too much 'old britannia' thinking holding us back.. ..there's no real need for any religious holidays, full stop.. ..scrap the lot, a boss can't legally force you to work on a religious holiday anyway, since yer can't discriminate against religion.. ..or, make a show of pretty much recognising and celebrating public holidays for all the other religions floating around the country..

I'm a Christian, and I couldn't give a stuff about what people do on Good Friday. In fact I rarely hear practising Christians who are all that concerned about it. It's usually the wider culture who thinks we care for some reason.

that's a fair point, double pay means half the profit...

If it was a night match you would get the same amount of exposure as a Friday night game....Almost the same as a twighlight game perhaps..

I think the reason the Anzac day game is so succesfull is because it's played during the day........That's when the good Friday game would have to be played for the best exposure.....

For me, Anzac day is far more significant day than good friday

Bachar Houli had the same conflict when it came to the draft camp a couple of years back, as it fell during Ramadan. He spoke to his Imam, who (IIRC) told him to make the most of his talents, as they were gifted to him by God, and if it meant breaking the fast to do that to stay hydrated and have the energy to play and train, then that was also part of God's plan.

So, religion and common sense can live side by side....

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

Good Friday it is. Then it's settled.

We'll take it.

I want Anzac Day to be a Carlton Day. Because it's not, I believe the MCG game should be rotated between clubs in Melbourne.

I can't see why scum and filth have the lights on them for a week exclusively.

So, id Good Friday evening is available for an exclusive game day for Carlton and whoever(?), then we'll take it!

Nah.. it has to have some tradition attached...has to be Tiggers, scum, filth...the rest of the Melbourne teams are traditional losers in one way or another.

Saints (flybynight), Hawks (80's team), Dees (gawn), Dogs (nice)...there's no history of significance other than the '87 GF when Rhys demolished Brereton.

Last round Carlton made the final four for the first time.

Eventual premiers.

That's what I'm talking about!
