Sportal for afl.com.au
Thanks to Telstra Country Wide, afl.com.au is able to present a special live webcast of Friday's NAB Challenge match between Essendon and Richmond at Red Cliffs, south of Mildura.
Telstra Country Wide has arranged for an outside broadcast unit to cover the match - not quite on the scale of Friday Night Football during the premiership season, but more than capable of bringing the game to many people who would otherwise not have the opportunity to see it.
There's commentary provided by Hot FM callers Geoff Lucas, Kevin Bradmore and Pat Silcox, who have been in commercial and community radio and sports casting for decades and who call the local football in Mildura each weekend.
The link to the match will be available on the afl.com.au homepage from the scheduled start time - 4.30pm EST.
The webcast is made possible through the AFL and Telstra Country Wide in partnership with Mildura Rural City Council.
The match is being played in Red Cliffs to help raise funds for the memorial fund in memory of the local teenagers who lost their lives a few weeks ago, and their families.
