the last round will be changed remember. st kilda will get the 7 bream and i dont know if the bulldogs will

 

[CamryCows]

With 2 rounds to go, positions 4-7 can go any which way, especially with the Dogs 2 tough games.
And then who knows what the AFL will do. The opportunity to make money will take precedence over fairness. The AFL would love to have Collingwood Friday night as it makes the sponsors happy.

They'd get that with Carlton v Essendon for sure.

No chance of Collingwood playing Friday Night, wont happen. They play their round 22 game on Sunday, the AFL stuffed it up with their stupid round 22 fixture.

5th v 8th is almost certain to be on Friday night, unless the Dogs finish 5th.

I'm hearing that the Friday night final between Geelong and Collingwood will be held at Etihad Stadium.

Nah, they would never do that. Bigger crowd at the 'G, and Collingwood would have a shorter break than Geelong.

I heard it will be at Skilled stadium on Thursday night.

I've got Carlton finishing 4th

If that were to happen, there would be three finals with teams having played on the Sunday in Round 22.

Well done AFL, keep up the good work etc...

It would be a fitting result for a half-assed effort.

You can see what the AFL were trying to do with Round 22, with only the two games on the Sunday. But, as usual, common sense isn't too common down at AFL House.

Friday Night
Carlton v Essendon - MCG

Saturday
Geelong v Collingwood - MCG

Saturday Night
Adelaide v Brisbane - AAMI Stadium

Sunday
St.Kilda v W.Bulldogs - MCG

Wouldn't the AFL want to look after the Brisbane TV market by having Adelaide v Brisbane on Saturday Night?

Over Geelong v Collingwood? Unlikely.

It is funny how the AFL were in a bit of a sweat about the Collingwood v Bulldogs game on a Sunday, but if it does eventuate, Carlton v Essendon will be just about the perfect way to start the series.

Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon in the finals. That's what it's all about. The big 3.

Finally, after 25 years the big three all in the same final series again.
