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?

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

    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.

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
