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 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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
