Is there any reason why Sydney doesn't play finals at the SCG anymore?

Can't imagine they'd do anything more than half fill ANZ against Freo.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Hopefully channel 7 don't take too long to announce the schedule. I don't want to have to sit through all that s**t they have on there.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Brayshaw seemed positive North v Essendon would be Sat night.

Would've thought the Sydney game would be Saturday night

Who cares. They already get 10% more on the salary cap, what more do they want ?
Fyfe to come back after two weeks off, freo a big chance to knock off Sydney.

 

[BF Tiger]

Surely Sydney game will be Saturday night. Will help with crowd numbers I'd imagine, and Essendon v North should attract a good crowd in the afternoon.

 

[BuffDog]

Hope bombers v north is not sat night cause I gotta work

Gill, hear my prayers

Contracts...they'd actually get more people to games at the SCG these days though. The only time ANZ Stadium should be used for AFL is if the Giants are playing finals and expect to pull a 30k+ crowd (so really only against Collingwood/Sydney is that possible).


The problem with having Port V Richmond on a Sunday is that the winner has to travel interstate on a 6 day break...

Need to give Freo enough time to back to Perth after the game.

Sadly that'll probably be the case. The AFL really should schedule 3 Saturday finals, as the winner of the Sunday game will only get a 6-day break...

What do we all with our lives on the Sunday then?

Forgot about the Freo factor but has there ever been an ANZ day game ever? They seem to like night games there

They're rare, but they do occur.

 

[vaughany]

Can any NRL rugby followers advise if ANZ stadium is required on a set day next weekend?

 

[Stereophonic]

North Melbourne v Essendon - F/ N MCG
Hawthorn v Geelong - Sat MCG
Sydney v Fremantle S/ N ANZ
Port Adelaide v Richmond Sun AO

We create forums on bigfooty debating the two semi final games scheduling...

 

[Off The Couch]

Hawks v Geelong Fri night
Syd v Fremantle 2pm
Port v tigers - sat night
Bomber v north Sunday

 

[Stereophonic]

Hawks v Geelong Fri night
Syd v Fremantle 2pm
Port v tigers - sat night
Bomber v north Sunday

that would work, that would be quite good actually

 

[vaughany]

North Melbourne v Essendon - F/ N MCG
Hawthorn v Geelong - Sat MCG
Sydney v Fremantle S/ N ANZ
Port Adelaide v Richmond Sun AO

Only probably with that scenario is the winner of Esse/North would have a long break than the loser of Hawks/Geel in the semi final the following week . Unfair as team that finishes higher deserves longer break...

Pretty sure we got beaten there during the day in a final a few years back.

 

[vaughany]

Hawks v Geelong Fri night
Syd v Fremantle 2pm
Port v tigers - sat night
Bomber v north Sunday

Yeah that could work
