Which is exactly what should happen. They scheduled 5 potential finals teams on a Sunday for round 24 to maximize viewership. That’s on them. 

Play 3 games on Saturday or one on Sunday. I don’t care. You cannot possibly disadvantage a side with 11 days turnaround and have a 12 day concussion protocols. 

I believe in 2021 we did have a game on Sunday, 3.20 pm

It was when both EF were played down in Tasmania.

    Why TF are final played on thursday nights to begin with!? 

    it’s a work night with work in the morning. i know the afl get some extra tv money but it should be one game friday, 2 on Sat and one Sun arvo

    Sunday arvo is a huge ratings slot so i really don’t get this thursday nonsense

    Sunday means that whoever plays there will potentially have a short turnaround for the following week.

    Have I missed the point here?  The top 4 teams that loose in the first week, will end up with a longer break for the games the following weekend, which is the shorter turn around.  Given the first week has a bye isn’t that better for the top 4 teams than getting the shorter turn around first?

    11 days is heaven for Dees players. We're the only club that doesnt get a mid season bye (9 days).Geelong get 13- 15 days.

    12 is perfect. Dont care if the Colly Wobbles get an extra 2 days on us.  But why on a Thursday. 

    Gil is so dumb he probably didnt realise that Sun to Thur week is 11 days 1 short for concussion break.

    He would of heard Hodge  blasting away about it on radio.

    It could create controversy= arousal for Gil and the Dills

    Yeah and that’s why Brisbane should have the Thursday night game and not the Collingwood v Melbourne one

    couldn’t they arrange it so the teams that could potentially play the next friday do not play the sunday game?

    i may not be the smartest fella but i think it’s possible. then it’s only the difference of a 6 or 7 day break

    what did they do before the pre finals bye? 3 Sat games?

    If we get a concussion today then we should be protesting very loudly about playing on the thursday night.

    So in other words, the journos such as Jon Ralph and Mark Robinson’s crew have no idea when the game will be played, and we should wait until later tonight’s announcement before we chuck a tanty.

    I recall Drew Jones on Fox Sports was so adamant that todays Dees V Swans game was originally going to be scheduled Saturday 7:25 that he was willing to bet his AFL media accreditation  on it.

    You guys think playing Thursday night is bad? 
    Wait until Ticketek crashes on Tuesday morning.

    Ralph just now saying finals schedule pretty much set in stone. Coll Thursday night, Carlton most likely Friday night, Saturday will include a day game and a twilight game so those teams that play on Saturday can be back in their beds by that night to ensure full 7 days recovery.

    Sorry I meant the AFL not MFC. I think it was the GWS v Sydney EF?

    For Collingwood members they will.

    I am guessing Dees members will be on Wednesday.

    I thought both club members tickets go on sale at the same time?

    Just a guess, I think it was the Tuesday of bye week last year.

    Thursday night is a FU to all families with kids. AFL know it means alot won't be able to make it but don't give a flying F. They'll fill the G and it'll rate of the charts either way

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
