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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
