Papley available as Friday is 12 days...

Are you allowed to play on the final day of the 12 days?


Should clearly mean that the Bris/Rich v Mel/Syd semi final is the Friday night of week 2. Should also mean the Mel/Syd prelim is the Saturday of week 3.

This is the official rule:

And as a reward for finishing first, Geelong get to play away to the fourth placed Collingwood.

35 years ago was the last time we played the Swans in a final, some great childhood memories:

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of whiners. 

Scott is crying about it as we speak.

I think the rule is 12 days from the day  the concussion occurred. 

Edited by Redleg

The 12-day rule is actually an 11-day rule - you're allowed to play on the 12th day. You don't have to wait 12 days.

The 12th day after today is next Friday.

We were never playing thurs because papley wouldn’t have been available.  Just some cynicism, I’d rather Friday anyhow


So whoever loses on Friday night (Swans) gets 1 day less recovery than the winner of Thursday (Tigers)

And even if they win, and Richmond win their next two, they'll play away again in the Prelim.

Anytime, anywhere.. Win the next 3. Go Dees

If he passes every element of the protocol and has no symptoms or set backs. Sydney have some good strong doctors and don’t strike me as the kind of club to risk serious concussion long term effects. There’s still a chance he misses.

Such good doctors that they got fined for breaching Covid protocols. Zero chance he doesn’t get up.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
