That's the key right there - despite the obstacles that we've faced this year, we have a rare opportunity to have a real crack at glory, and there's no guarantees on when such an opportunity will present itself again. The qualifying final will arguably be our most important game for many years, and we simply MUST win that game!!!!
Exactly. Was just curious why people think we had an easy fixture, far from it, we’ve been everywhere. Not complaining simply pointing out why this game is in Brisbane Which is neutral anyway . Whole fixtures been a mess, and it’s weird adel get 3 more home games than you I agree. Like I said if there’s any gripes look at Richmonds draw. Should have been first team penciled in for perth hub.
I think it's more of a 'dicking around Port' issue than a Collingwood issue.

Bet we get the Saturday afternoon game despite finishing top 2.GOLD COAST — The AFL finals series will start on a Thursday night this season, not a Wednesday as the league was considering.
Foxfooty.com.au has confirmed there will be games played on Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday twilight in week one of finals.
If West Coast finish fifth, they will play a home elimination final in Perth. Their opponents will need to quarantine for seven days in Western Australia before playing the game.
Revealed: AFL sticks with tradition for finals fixtures after flirting with Wednesday night timeslot

I think we might get the Friday or Saturday night personally. I think we'll be given a longer break after playing the last game of the last round on a Monday night.

i will be super interested in a scenario where Rich or Geelong are drawn to play a home final v Bris. Surely they nominate Adelaide? Could maybe mean two prelims here.....West Coast will be permitted to host an elimination final in Perth while Victorian clubs will be allowed to nominate a preferred stadium for their home finals.
The AFL confirmed its finals fixturing policy on Tuesday afternoon, with the finals series to begin on Thursday October 1, as reported by Foxfooty.com.au yesterday.
The Eagles, who are expected to finish fifth if results go as expected in Round 18 but could still make the top four, would be allowed to host a final in Week 1 - but only then, due to Western Australia’s quarantine policy
Eagles allowed to host final, Vics can nominate a home ground as AFL confirms finals rules

It is most likely we get the Cats (if we beat Coll) and Rich (if we lose).
Tbh its a dangerous game flirting with "form" (I don't think we have been playing overly good to start with). But I'd rather lose and play Richmond here to be honest, Geelong just seem to have every answer when we play.
