Because the AFL wants every team to get a 7-day break in finals, there is bugger all difference between a 13 and a 15 day break and we got the easier of the qualifying final match-ups. If we can’t roll Geelong we don’t deserve to win.
If we end up playing Port in the GF we will have both hosted games against the Cats and Lions to get there so same same. And you could argue we have a bigger advantage vs Geelong given the rest week.
Plus we’ll get an extra day before the GF if we make it.
