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?

Very very very premature NTG

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 last ten years saw the number 1 ranked side get the Friday night Qualifying final too

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
