Premature…I know. Brissy Prelim Fri or Sat?

[Neitz the Great 555]

Hi guys,

Very premature I know but I have some family up in brissy and was looking to make the trip up to see them if we got through. 
 

Does anyone have any knowledge of it will be a Friday or Saturday game? 
 

It seems like Pies will have Friday and Brissy Saturday but will give port Vs GWS only 6 day break? 
 

Anyone have any knowledge?

Should be Sat as Pies get the extra day break for GF.

I just love that you have family up there, but you'll only go see them if Melbourne is playing.

I know I’m sorry!! 
 

More bc I think I’ll head up regardless and thought I could catch the game Vs whoever it is with my family. 
 

The lack of fixturinf clarity is strange!

The last 10 years has seen the number 1 ranked side get the Friday night prelim. Thus I expect Collingwood will get the Friday night prelim.

I think the AFL are currently determining what time the Brisbane game should commence on the Saturday to ensure the winning VIC club gets home late Saturday to prepare for the GF.

You'd imagine it will start somewhere between 3:20 and 4:40pm.

Return flights from Melbourne are starting at $860 according to Webjet. I shudder to think what they'll be come this Saturday

I think Pies will be locked in for Friday night given they were the higher ranked side.

I also believe there is a curfew at Brisbane airport, so the team who plays up there will need enough time to catch the last flight out.

No no no...think it through

Theyll want that as a sat night game... giving potentially the Filth extra advantage. 

And im not kidding

Can't see a 3:20 start in Qld

Next Thursday for example has a predicted top of 33 degrees

A hard fought win in the draining heat of Brisbane was one of my many fears in this final series.

My logic would be the Qld match on the Friday night but nothing about the AFL is logical as we all know

It’s a bit of a conundrum because many of us have complained for years about the slippery, dewy conditions you get at Queensland twilight/ early evening!

Very different in September to March when we played them last. 
 

driest weather you’ll get there in September.

Well now we’re hexed.

Now I have to do a good deed.

Give my neighbour some help with his ikea kitchen or ‘try to smother’ a Collingwood supporter at woolies...

I will see you guys later, gotta go up the shops.

I can just see the AFL scheduling us for the night game at 7:30PM for "ratings", but Carlton for 3:20PM to help them get home and nicely tucked in.

Very premature. Not quite as bad as the clowns last year who said we were guaranteed a prelim the moment Brisbane beat Richmond in the EF but done for the right reasons. I'm thinking Sat twilight.

The Pies get to pick when they want to play, so they’ll play Friday 

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

It's Saturday twilight game already been announced  by the AFL.
