The most important week on the AFL calendar has arrived and Fox Footy has every angle covered in the countdown to the big day.
Fresh from Fox Footy’s best September on record and the GWS Giants v Western Bulldogs Preliminary Final now the highest-rating AFL match on subscription television of all-time with an average audience of 534,000 viewers tuning in, Grand Final Week on Fox kicks off with the prestigious Brownlow Medal on Monday 26 September from Crown Palladium in Melbourne.
Fox Footy’s regular Monday night programming will move to Tuesday with a huge AFL 360, On The Couch and Open Mike Grand Final Special with three-time Premiership defender Brian Lake.
AFL 360’s big name guests throughout the week will include regulars Chris Scott, Nathan Buckley, Bob Murphy, Jack Riewoldt, Mark Thompson, David King, Mark Maclure, Dyson Heppell, Lake and other huge names from both Grand Final teams.
On Wednesday at 8.30pm four Premiership superstars will come together for the Fox Footy Round Table: Finals Maestros. Dermott Brereton, Glenn Archer, Michael Voss and Chris Judd join host Gerard Whateley to discuss what it takes to succeed in Premierships and perform on the grandest stage of all.
Grand Final Eve begins with the AFL Grand Final Parade from 11.00am on Friday 30 September. Then at 1.15pm the best up and coming footballers will line up in the NAB All-Star Under 18 Match, with all the action broadcast LIVE on Fox Footy from Punt Road Oval. AFL 360 (7.30pm) and Bounce (9.00pm) 90min Grand Final Eve editions will be LIVE from the Fox Footy Stage at the MCG.
An enormous Grand Final Day on Fox Footy begins with the traditional North Melbourne Grand Final Breakfast at 9.00am, LIVE and EXCLUSIVE from the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
Then it’s the electrifying Fox Footy Longest Kick at 10.00am, with the AFL’s biggest superboots and one Wildcard participant attempting to kick 75 metres across the Yarra River from Birrarung Marr for the chance to win $10K.
From 11.00am the best commentary team in the business will deliver the most comprehensive pre-match, half-time and post-game analysis of the decider.
