Guide to Seven's coverage of 2012 AFL Round 2 - The Easter Weekend

Here’s the guide as to what AFL game is showing where and on what channel as far as free to air is concerned.

AFL on Seven kicks off Thursday night LIVE and FREE with a huge match at the Gabba between Round 1 winners Brisbane and Carlton including a live interview with Lions captain Jonathan Brown at half time.

Saturday Arvo Football makes its first outing with another two winners from Round 1 Essendon and Port Adelaide. Three-time premiership hero Tim Watson goes head-to-head with Essendon star Michael Hurley after he recently signed a five-year deal to stay with the Bombers

The Collingwood v Richmond blockbuster clash follows in Saturday Night Footy with Mick Malthouse doing a lap of the MCG at half time and Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley talking to the panel pre-match.

And then Easter Monday promises to deliver another epic encounter between two modern rivals Hawthorn and Geelong. Can the Hawks triumph against the Cats for the first time since the 2008 Grand Final?
