The Fox Footy crew is getting right into the Easter spirit!
That is, if the ‘Easter spirit’ is actually just batting practice and includes oversized chocolate eggs and a malfunctioning frying pan.
With Good Friday football and chocolatey delights just around the corner, things got festive on the set of Fox Footy’s Thursday Night Football.

After Collingwood downed Brisbane at the Gabba and the post-game analysis came to a close, out came the Easter eggs.
An errant throw by host Sarah Jones last year around hadn’t slipped the minds of the panel.
“Put a hole in our million-dollar screen, our Sarah,” Fox Footy’s Jason Dunstall joked in reference to the events of last Easter.
“That’s why I brought the pan, in case she starts lobbing hand-grenades again.”
And a good thing he did, because it wasn’t long until Jones started launching!
“I’ve been watching Patrick Mahomes,” she claimed, channelling the star Kansas City Chiefs quarterback as she launched a golden egg at an unassuming Dunstall.
The Hawthorn legend let his cat-like reflexes do the talking, thwacking it dead-centre and sending it to the floor in a multitude of chocolate pieces.

“She’s going again!” exclaimed Dunstall, as he tried to smack the subsequent oncoming eggs with frying pan in hand.
“Sarah, we might just be docking your pay in coming weeks,” quipped Jon Ralph.
After nearly taking St Kilda great Leigh Montagna’s head off with his first knock, ‘Chief’ wasn’t as successful with his next two at-bats — with his third attempt putting a “limp” end to festivities.
“Oh, my handle’s broken!” lamented Dunstall as his pan bent at the wrong angle. “I’ve gone limp!”
Added Ralphy: “Jason’s gone floppy, Sarah! He has absolutely gone weak at the knees.”
“This is from a man who plays tennis every day of the week,” laughed Jones.
Good Friday football commences with North Melbourne vs. Carlton at Marvel Stadium from 4:20pm AEDT — watch it live on Fox Footy (channel 504) or stream via Kayo.
