Premature…I know. Brissy Prelim Fri or Sat?

Featured Replies

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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
