Round one AFL LIVE on Seven
The AFL premiership season kicks off this week on Seven’s Friday Night Football with the much-anticipated clash from AAMI Stadium between the Bombers and the Crows, including a live broadcast at half time of the William Reid Stakes at Mooney Valley featuring champion mare Black Caviar.
After a tumultuous off season for both clubs including a drug investigation at the Bombers and a draft and salary cap scandal at the Crows, both clubs will be keener than ever to kick a ball in anger.
Taylor Walker also delivers come candid views on the high profile departure of Kurt Tippett in a special feature that also provides a lighter update on his mullet.
