Good Friday football starts in the AFL this year, joining the NRL’s long-term usage of the day.

Good Friday is a holy day of choice for Christians, so what everyone does on that date is up to them.
Both competitions are struggling to produce formlines.
And the current table toppers sit somewhat unconvincingly.
We’ll see.
