I assumed it was because Seven wanted the biggest audience possible for the game?
Remember, one of the reasons the game went ahead, was the AFL collaborating with the Good Friday Appeal.

Jennifer Keyte is a big supporter of Good Friday Appeal and has appeared on the appeal’s promotion campaigns in the past. But can she continue the role when she joins Ten later this year, given Seven is a partner of (and has broadcast rights to) the appeal?

I think the obvious answer here is no, it only seems to be network talent and ‘celebrities’ of sorts.

Pretty much. She is patron of the Good Friday Appeal but I’m sure that role will be relinquished in going to Ten.
Agreed. The chances of seeing Jennifer Keyte on the 2019 Good Friday Appeal are approximately the same as those of Lisa Wilkinson being part of the 2018 Gold Telethon (different network/market I know, but still): 0%

In previous years didn’t it start at 9am and stop at midday for a half hour bulletin before resuming at 12:30?
