Players form guard of honour for kids
This is arguably the best part of the entire slate of footy on Easter weekend.
Kids from the Royal Children’s Hospital are running out sharing some high fives with their heroes as they run through the purple Good Friday Appeal banner.
How good is this!

The teams are out on the ground
The Kangaroos come out first, on a high after their 12-point win against Essendon last week.
They’re followed by the Blues, who seemingly have the weight of the world on their shoulders.
What a difference four premiership points make.
We’re just under 15 minutes away from the first bounce.

Will North deploy the Finn O’Sullivan tag again?
Finn O’Sullivan had Zach Merrett in a body bag last week as North beat Essendon.
I wonder whether Alastair Clarkson sends him to either Sam Walsh, Jagga Smith or Patrick Cripps this afternoon?
O’Sullivan and Walsh are actually cousins, so I wonder if this could be a rematch from an Easter Sunday runaround in the backyard from a decade ago!
Which one would you tag out of the trio?

Are Carlton’s fadeouts all Voss’s fault?
At this level if a club keeps giving up big leads then obviously change is needed . Sadly as in all high level sport the coach (or manager in soccer circles) cops it.
– Phillip
It’s interesting that a lot of the fadeouts come directly after half-time as well.
I wonder if Carlton has really dug deep into what the team’s process is during that big break, because whatever they’re doing isn’t quite working at the moment.

Voss keeping it ‘simple’ amid all the chaos
Michael Voss explaining what he did after last week’s disappointing loss to Melbourne.
“I keep it really simple. Our job as coaches is to make the complex simple,” he tells Fox Footy.
“It takes 120 minutes to win these games.”

Is today a must-win for Michael Voss?
An absolute TON of pressure on Carlton coach Michael Voss heading into this afternoon’s game.
Carlton is a very angsty club right now after being beaten by the Demons.
The Blues have traditionally bossed the Kangaroos around on Good Friday. Man do they need a result like that this afternoon.
The Kangaroos are looking for their first Good Friday win since 2018.
North has lost its last two Good Friday clashes to Carlton by 56 and 82 points.

Welcome!
Good afternoon and welcome to ABC Sport’s live AFL coverage!
We’ve got a Good Friday double-header on deck today starting with the annual clash at Docklands Stadium between North Melbourne and Carlton at 3:15pm.
After last weekend’s fadeout against Melbourne, the pressure is on the Blues and namely coach Michael Voss to orchestrate a turnaround.
Later on Friday, we’ve got a blockbuster in Adelaide as the Crows host the Dockers from 7:15pm (all times AEDT).
Both are set to be excellent contests, so sit back and strap yourselves in as we bring you all the action.
