Yes, how dare a team that finish top get the biggest break. HOW DARE THE AFL WHAT AN ATROCITY LONGMIRE SHOULD BE BURNED AT THE STAKE BECAUSE HE CLEARLY HAS CAST A SPELL ON THE AFL HEADS FRANKLIN IS OVERRATED AND FAT OR SOMETHING OH MY GOD.
It's like people don't realise an 8-day break vs 7 days is very little advantage

Isn't there a chance ANZ will be busy on the fri?
In 2012 it was busy on the Sat, so the afl were 'forced' to give sydney the fri prelim due to the ANZ contract.
It will be interesting to see if this contract is so incredibly rigid this time around should ANZ be busy on the fri....
Something tells me the SCG will be ok this time...

Because Sydney won their QF against WC. The finals are set up so if first wins their QF they will play the Friday PF - but if they don't then they have to play Saturday.
final fight
All Australian

Swans beat us in the QF final in week one so became the top seed and earnt the right to the friday prelim (if we had won we would've had a friday home prelim, but we lost so had to make the GF the hard way)
Concerned about cola? have a coke and smile....
Can you explain 2005?

Same thing. Adelaide were first so if they had won they would've had the Friday Prelim, but they lost to the Saints, so the Saints scored the Friday Prelim (which just happened to be against Sydney because Sydney lost to us in week one).
Adelaide finished top but was beaten by St Kilda (4th). So St Kilda hosted the Friday night prelim which the Swans played in and won. So West Coast's prelim (which they earned by beating Sydney) was played on the Saturday, seeing as they finished 2nd.
It's not a conspiracy.

Bloody hell, people. Imagine being an interstate team who has to host a "home" Prelim at the MCG with 1 days less break than your Grand Final opponents (who played their Prelim in their home city). So you have to fly home the next day, get about 3-4 days preparation and then fly back down to Melbourne. All because the CEO at the time is nothing but a money hungry campaigner.

I wasn't trying to take anything away from Port's win. They were the better team on the day and they won fair and square. To this day I don't know why Andy D had an apparent disliking of us though

Didn't he pay for your coach?

Not to my knowledge (I assume you're talking about Leigh Matthews)? He wasn't even elected as CEO until the end of 2003. FFS, he even made us host our "home" NAB cup final in Melbourne. Complete and utter wankstain.

That was because of a deal in place since the Ross Oakley days, hardly Vlad's fault.
Who melts over a NAB final?
