They're confident because their set of supporters have seen their club beat our club 10 of the last 13 times at the MCG, the most recent being this year.
I reckon they’ve done a last minute swap with our game and the Cats V Pies, hence the delay, to allow Papley out of protocols.
Our game from Thursday night to Friday night.
Just a theory.
Since the Thursday night final was introduced in 2016, they’ve never had a MCG final in the Saturday twilight slot.
Thursday or Saturday night for mine.
I can’t see a scenario where we have to leave VIC, given we have two guaranteed home finals, and if we lose week 1, Geelong or Collingwood will be waiting for us in a prelim if we win week 2.
How exciting!!
The Saints v Swans game is going to quickly age those that want a week 1 MCG final.
nerve racking!
Swans probably need to get another 48 points added to the margin.
