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?

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

 

You’ve got to pick the right moments to see your family ha ha

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!

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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
