This week in AFL on Seven ROUND 18 2012


AFL kicks off LIVE and FREE on Seven’s Friday Night Football with a top-eight clash between Essendon and Hawthorn. We follow Bombers young gun Dyson Heppell as he goes about a day at Windy Hill, and Cyril Rioli gives us a special insight into some of his best goals and marks.

With Bruce McAvaney in London, Hamish McLachlan and Basil Zempilas each take a turn at calling alongside Dennis Cometti on Friday Night Football and Sunday Football over the next two weeks.

On Saturday Night Footy Tigers star Bachar Houli reveals what he goes through in order to meet the demands of elite football and Ramadan, the Muslim fasting month. Bomber veteran Mark McVeigh joins us live on the panel, Brent Harvey is hooked up to the lie detector test. And Carlton coach Brett Ratten and Blues star Chris Yarran have some fun in a goalkicking competition.

Saturday Arvo Football is set for another corker with the in-form Crows heading down to Simonds Stadium to take on the reigning premier Geelong. We catch up with Olympic aspirant and Geelong rookie Mark Blicavs for an update on his progress.

Sunday Football sees the Saints aiming to keep their finals hopes alive against the Bulldogs while Nick Riewoldt interviews Brendon Goddard on reaching 200 games, the highs and lows of his career and his leadership aspirations at St Kilda.
