North Melbourne says it deserves to be at the front of the queue should the AFL finally introduce Good Friday football in 2015.
 
The religious holiday will once again be football-free next year, but League deputy CEO Gillon McLachlan said at Thursday morning's fixture announcement it was a "50-50" prospect of being introduced for the following season.
 
The Kangaroos have long campaigned to play on Good Friday, dating back to the 1990s.
 
In more recent years, the club has pushed for a twilight fixture against Carlton at Etihad Stadium, with profits to go towards the annual Royal Children's Hospital appeal.
 
Chairman James Brayshaw did not hesitate to state North Melbourne's case when told of McLachlan's comments on Thursday afternoon.
 
"Carlton and North are right next to the children's hospital, so the idea was to play a twilight game on Good Friday, and the winning coach and captain would then go into the telethon at night and hand over $100,000," he said.
 
"I thought that was a really good idea three or four years ago, I still think it's a really good idea now, and I think two inner-city Melbourne clubs on this amazing day would make a lot of sense.
 
"Hopefully the AFL will think the same way."
 
Brayshaw said the proposed game would attract 45,000 to 50,000 fans, and a large TV audience.
 
"If you came up with the idea and have done an enormous work on it, it's got to place you somewhere near the front of the queue," he said.
