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

I don’t think so. They’ll have separate times to avoid the site crashing. We get the same allocation of seats so don’t worry.

Buddy’s celebration is an omen. The last major celebration was last year when he kicked 1000 goals……..against the team that became the premiers.

Carlton v Swans/Giants/Dogs over Collingwood v Melbourne on the Friday Night might be one of the stupidest decisions I’ve seen the AFL has made.

Collingwood are the biggest team in the comp, we’re coming off a premiership 2 seasons ago & both teams play at the MCG.

Thursday Night is a 7:20 game, Friday Night a 7:50 game. You lose a couple of thousand in attendance because of that.

 

Well done AFL lol

That assumes they use common sense. I don't recall the AFL or the ticketing companies showing any of that in the past. I'm almost certain they release the members tickets for all four games at the same time for absolutely no reason hut to stress us all out

Surely we are Friday night surely?

No consideration for people coming from country and interstate locations f u AFL.

I have to miss if it's Thursday. Seven have stated it will be on the Thursday, just have to wait for the AFL to confirm what seven have asked for.

The AFL can get well & truly stuffed if it’s a Thursday night, so much for country members coming down

Surely the biggest crowd pulling final has to Friday or Saturday night

My 8yo will want to go, no way will he be right for school the next day by the time we get home and he unwinds and goes to bed around 1130pm (if we're lucky).

Slap in the face to the top 4 teams and their supporters having it on Thursday instead of Friday night.

It's created all kinds of headaches that's for sure. I'll be struggling to get out of work early on the Thurs whereas Fri no problem at all. 

As mentioned in post game I believe this game will be the biggest shaper of the finals series and whoever wins it has just taken the Queen in the Premiership Chess game. Real shame it it's Thurs..

I'd rather play on the Thursday and those sides play on the Friday. If we lose, we get an extra day preparation. How would you feel if it was the reverse and we had one less day's preparation?

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 am sure the AFL in their infinite wisdom will find a way.  
Why not, as there are only max 3 Vic based teams with home finals play Friday night, Saturday arvo and night, and a EF on a Sunday?.

Fox Footy already pushing the agenda to have us play on the Thursday. It seems that the AFL does the broadcaster's bidding.

[Demonsone 2,029]

Swans finish 7th or 8th & won 3.5/5.5 games less than the Dees & pies, yet May get 2 extra days to prepare for finals go figure

Why can Brisbane V Port be Thursday? It’s perfect for it, the AFL doesn’t care about non Vic clubs anyway

The footy Gods are shining on us.Had Caleb Marchbank not touched Trac's Goal (we know he didn't) we would've got the extra 4 points and it would be:

 

First Final- Lions V Demons at the Gabba

 

Now It's Pies V Demons at the MCG

 

Absolute Karma Baby,bring on the Pies!!!

[Superunknown 4,210]

If I was Empire, Gillon would be before a firing squad for this assignation to Thursday night. It’s incomprehensible
