Friday night AFL will be live in to Melbourne this week with the 2009 Grand Final rematch between St Kilda and Geelong to be screened live into Melbourne on Seven from 7.30pm. The game will also see the top two teams on the AFL ladder head to head and promises to be huge in terms of both crowd and ratings.

As a result, Better Home and Gardens will be seen at 7.30 on Thursday June 24 in Melbourne - an idea that has been suggested here at Throng as a solution to help both Thursday night ratings and give AFL fans live AFL in at least Melbourne.
