''Friday Night Footy'' formerly (Friday Night Football) is an Australian sports broadcast series is currently airing on the Seven Network on 29 March 1985 in VIC & SA and on 7mate in March 2012 in NSW, QLD, NT & WA. ==History== Friday Night Football is generally considered to be the biggest stage and generates the most publicity for the clubs involved in both codes. Both codes are shown in all states and territories, however the timing and scheduling depends on which code is more dominant in its respective state. The dominant codes are Australian rules football in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania; and rugby league in New South Wales, Queensland and Australian Capital Territory. Non-weekend night matches of Australian rules football first emerged in the late 1970s/early 1980s with the Night series, a knock-out tournament featuring teams from across the country and run in parallel with the league seasons. The first Victorian Football League matches on Friday nights were introduced in 1985 when the North Melbourne Football Club pioneered the world first initiative. At this time, these games were irregularly scheduled, and all matches featured North Melbourne, but by 1987, Friday Night Football was played on a more regular basis, and other clubs began to host the games. Friday Night AFL is generally played in Melbourne, at either the Melbourne Cricket Ground or Docklands Stadium, but Sydney, Adelaide and Perth will generally host a few matches each year. It is less common for the games to be played in Brisbane or the Gold Coast in order to avoid clashes with the National Rugby League, which is more popular in those cities. As it is the most lucrative broadcast timeslot of the weekend, matches between the better-performing clubs are scheduled on Friday night to ensure the games are of high quality.〔(Friday night is 'ours': AFL - AFL.com.au )〕 As recently as 2014, however, the Gold Coast Suns have pushed to be featured on Friday nights in 2015, citing their improved form in 2014.〔(Is Friday night footy rolled gold for SUNS? ), ''Gold Coast Football Club official website'', 9 July 2014〕 Seven's commentary team includes Bruce McAvaney and Dennis Cometti providing play-by-play commentary, Wayne Carey and Cameron Ling with special comments, and field commentary from Tim Watson and Matthew Richardson. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friday Night Footy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
