I think it's near-certain we'll be playing on Saturday night next week. Presumably at the Adelaide Oval but not sure of venue yet.

Saturday night makes sense - we get the extra day off (Geelong get the 6-day break into the Port game), and they can play 5 v 8 on the Sunday which means that winner, and the winner of Sydney v GWS on Saturday afternoon, gets a six-day break into the semis.

Can we nominate Traeger Park for our home final? We tend to play well there, it would be a great way to celebrate our work with the community and we could potentially earn the $800k we lost earlier this year from the NT Government.

Not one of the 'sterile corridors' allegedly. Would have to be played in either SA, WA, tassie or Queensland

So as it stands week 1 will be this.

 

QF 1. Melbourne vs Brisbane

QF 2. Port Adel vs Geelong

 

EL 1. Bulldogs vs Essendon/Freo

EL 2. Sydney vs GWS

 

If we win we'll go into Preliminary final 1 and will meet one of Sydney, GWS, Port or Geelong

Lose and we will be in Semi Final 1 and will meet the winner of Bulldogs vs Essendon/Freo

I find it interesting that Tassie are considered an option. Who would actually willingly want to play there? If Tassie are an option than Alice should be as well. 

But I reckon Adelaide will be the best option, make Brisbane travel and we play AO quite well. Still in disbelief that we’re in this situation. Firstly that we’re top of the ladder at the end of the H&A season, and secondly that finally having achieved this we don’t get our earned advantage.

Expecting we will win next week but to come up against the Dogs if we lose would be at least a little uncomfortable.

Make them travel to Adel,Bris to Alice shorter trip.

The extra day is huge, i had succumbed to playing the Powa on Friday Night but this club has got stones the size of lemons and earn't themselves an extra day.

Massive developments for the lads, club and supporters.

I'm just trying not to be too upset about the fact that I may not get to see live the event I've dreamed about for the best part of 47 years (I'm 53).

It’s bittersweet not being able to see our beloved team in the finals after being long suffering. I’d go anywhere to watch them but it doesn’t look like the various state governments will let us in.

It's getting to Darwin and quarentining for two weeks which will allow you to get to sa/wa/Qld for the prelim and gf an option? Big leap of faith

Nice weather up there at the moment.

I was there in 88 and 00. With that record, and if tonight's experience is anything to go by, I'll be quite content, thank you, with a stay-away, live-on-telly premiership 😉

I’d be more afraid of the Dons to be honest. There quick ball movement is our kryptonite

Should we win next week against the Lions, then Port at Optus Oval would be my bet. Geelong were fearsome, and I pity any of their opponents in the next couple of weeks.

What's wrong with playing our first final at the G??  We've earned that right.  Why has everyone caved and pandering so easily to the AFL's interstate nonsense?

If we win that one we should also be getting our Prelim here. 

And from there IF we get through we then talk about where the GF is played where you would of course prefer a BIG crowd.

We've thoroughly earned this choice.

Eddie/Jeffrey/Kochy would all be blowing a gasket at the mere mention if they finished on top.

Happy to stand corrected but appears to me we might have conceded already?

What sort of crowd will they get in Adelaide for Melb v Bris? Surely if it's less than 10k there's no argument to move it

Got to pick Adelaide Oval.   Make bris travel the furthest in quarantine conditions and Goody should shout out to all crows supporters to get behind him and fill oval with red and blue

So we can choose a Tassie venue, interesting. I like the idea of us choosing Hobart.
 

Over thinking it I’m sure but longest trip for Brissy (ruling Perth out as I don’t think that is an option we’d take), BBB goes well there, we’ve played a few games there in the last few years including a win this year, only the 1 win but we’re not playing North (lols) and Brissy doesn’t have a great record in Tassie.

Hasn’t the NT come out and said that you need a special permit to quarantine in that state, if coming from a hot spot, and VIC is a steaming hot spot at the moment.

Not sure attending a grand final would get you that special permit??

The AFL is praying Ess gets in without Hawks, Pies, Tigs, Eagles and Crows. Less so this year from a revenue/bums on seats perspective but they want the big clubs in every year. Glad for a shake up this year.

Hope we play Bris in Adelaide, then I can attend another Dees game and try and get as many Crows supporting mates along to barrack for us as well!

Reckon the first three are right. No finals in Perth for the first few weeks because of the quarantine

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
