Assuming Collingwood wins I’ll have a stab:

Thu night -  Fremantle V Bulldogs

Friday night - Geelong V Collingwood 

Saturday twilight - Brisbane V Richmond

Saturday night - Dees V Swans 

With regards to Thursday nights, they’re not afraid to put a blockbuster qualifying final on that night. In 2018 they had Richmond V Hawthorn so it’s not out of the realms of possibility we cop Thu night.

But if Collingwood lose we'll get Geelong v Brisbane, Melbourne v Sydney (or vice versa), Fremantle v Carlton and Collingwood v Richmond.

Question will be whether Geelong get first preference for finishing top, or whether the AFL want to put Collingwood v Richmond on the Friday night. If the latter, I think that means we will be Thursday night (8-day break for us into the semi final, so that there are no 6-day breaks).

    My guess would be that the AFL would absolutely fixture Pies V Tiges on the Friday night as it would be the highest rating game on the highest rating night.

    The AFL and channel 7’a desire will take priority over Geelong’s number 1 entitlements.

    If the AFL gave the number one team preference on time and venue, we would’ve played Brisbane at the MCG last year in the qualifying final. Pert wanted our game at the G despite no crowds. The AFL said “no way.”

    I think with all the Friday night games we have been given during these floating fixtures we might just be given it again. We must be getting good rating s for our games.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that there will be no finals played at Kardinia Park this year due to the redevelopment of a large section of the stands and the subsequent limit on attendance.

    you are correct no finals at the little school ground

    Dees fans might not all go to games but I guarantee a massive number of them have great TVs.

    If you want to fill in the gaps in Grapeviney's nice table regarding % and the Saints' score, just copy and paste the following into Google search to see the score Sydney has to get to beat our percentage:

    For example, if the Saints have scored 80 points, then paste into the search field:

    =1.30546190155091*(1542+80)-1979

    that gives 138.459204316, so they need to score 139 points.  Replace 80 with whatever the Saints have scored as the match progresses.

    Another option could be to just use the AFL app and the ‘live ladder’ function to see what is happening with ‘live’ ladder position / percentage movements during the actual game…..or am I missing something here?

    BBP please don't spoil a good story with the mis truth!! 

    It was Covid which was the determining factor in Finals locations in 2021. Pert was only being cheeky knowing full well that the G was not going yo be used at all in the 2021 Finals Series.

    Yes, but if you want to know 'what happens if the Saints kick the next 2 goals', the live ladder won't help you.

    In a nutshell, if you are Sydney you'd aim to have a 10 goals differential just in case.

    I know that's what I would do because the Saints at home can easily score 70+ points.

    Too bad St Kilda's match is the last one. They will already know the Bulldogs final score, so they could come to play really flat by that.

    It will depend on how much Saints want to win the last game doubt they can make finals anyway

    This is gonna be tough. I live in Sydney and haven't been able to get to a Demons game since the couple of games we played at Homebush during Covid.

    If Sydney finishes second, I'll be going to my first game for the season and my first Demons final ever.

    Just a wild guess but I'd say your net worth is higher than mine.

    Tx for posting this.

    Can someone clear something up for me? Two wins, one is 100 to 70, the other is 80 to 50. Does the second one earn more %?

    Yes

    Points for/Points against x 100

    100/70 x 100 =  142.8

    80/50 x 100 = 160

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
