FOX Footy set for finals

Foxtel and Kayo Sports celebrate AFL Finals with a bespoke piece of art by cartoonist Mark Knight and a live audience for AFL 360.

The cartoon titled ‘For The Love Of Finals Footy’ features seven past legends of the game and a current day superstar: Jack Riewoldt (Richmond), Jonathan Brown (Brisbane), Nathan Buckley (Collingwood), Garry Lyon (Melbourne), Matthew Pavlich (Fremantle), Cameron Mooney (Geelong), Brad Johnson (Western Bulldogs) and Gerard Healy (Sydney).

“There are some great faces there. I love drawing Jack Riewoldt and of course the big ‘Browny’ in the middle – he’s got a head like a brick. ‘Bucks’ has been one of my favourites (to draw) for years,” said Knight.

The first final gets underway tonight when Brisbane takes on Richmond in an elimination at the Gabba from 6.30pm AEST on FOX Footy.

It was also announced this week that a live studio audience is invited to attend AFL 360 on Thursday 22nd September for the first time since the fan-favourite show began 12 years ago. The biggest names in the game will visit the special edition with a chance for fans to meet their heroes.

On the same blockbuster night of footy entertainment, host of Bounce Jason Dunstall will wrangle the often-unpredictable troupe of Andrew Gaze, Cameron Mooney, Bernie Vince and Ben Dixon in front of a live-studio audience.

Then, on grand final-eve, FOX Footy’s newest entertainment show Best On Ground will ring in the biggest day on the footy calendar – bringing fans the biggest stories of the day ahead in a light-hearted way.

Come grand final day it all kicks-off early with the Grand Final Breakfast then the much-loved FOX Footy’s Longest Kick returning to the banks of the Yarra River to see superstars of the game boot the Sherrin further than their rivals.

FOX Footy has something for every footy lover during a monster finals series, including On The Couch, AFL 360, Face-To-Face, First Crack, Best On Ground and Bounce.
