[MickG88]

i would swap the last two games as Carlton will bring in a much bigger crowd than the Saints and Swans

We're not getting a home final at Marvel, that's ridiculous.

We're not getting a home final at Marvel, that's ridiculous.

Why not, isn't it St Kilda's preferred home ground? And what sort of crowd would a Saints v Swans final draw at the MCG?

Won't matter, they will play it at the MCG.

Melbourne/Swans got 75k, Geelong/West coast in 2019 was 51k. I'd expect somewhere in the 60s at least.

 

[The_torpedo]

Every Melbourne final will be at the MCG unless all 4 home teams are Victorian

Ask fans of Geelong where they'd like to play home finals, and compare that with where they actually play home finals.

This can't happen as Melbourne can't mathematically make the Top 2

 

[parano1a]

Probably a moot point when they don't actually make the finals...

....yes they can.

 

[Underarm]

Are they more likely to play a final at Marvel or on a Sunday?

 

[parano1a]

....yes they can.

My bad, it's highly unlikely though as Lions and Port would have to both lose home games they are strong favourites in.

Friday
QF1: Collingwood v Melbourne, MCG 7.50pm

Saturday
EF1: Carlton v GWS GIANTS, MCG 4.35pm
EF2: St Kilda v Sydney, Marvel 7.25pm

My predicted winners in bold.

Probably a moot point when they don't actually make the finals...

The only final we've played at Marvel was back in 2011 vs Sydney, but that was when all four of the first week of finals were in Melbourne. And they didn't play finals on Thursday back then.

With most likely Collingwood and Carlton getting a home game as well, all three would be played at the MCG, with one game there on the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

This can't happen as Melbourne can't mathematically make the Top 2

'Melbourne final' as in every final played in melbourne will be at the g

 

[MooreDaicos]

My updated predicted winners are:
Brisbane v Port Adelaide
Collingwood v Melbourne
Carlton v Sydney
Saints v GWS

Etihad tenants and Geelong don't get home finals. A "quirk" of the system.

 

[ibd77]

My predicted winners are:
Brisbane v Port Adelaide
Collingwood v Melbourne
Carlton v GWS
Saints v Sydney

Bold!

 

[theasian]

Sydney will surely win against Melbourne to secure a home final

 

[Coolangatta]

Thursday night: Carlton v GWS MCG (5 v 8)
Friday night: Collingwood v Melbourne MCG (1 v 4)
Saturday: Sydney v St Kilda SCG (6 v 7)
Saturday night: Brisbane v Port Adelaide Gabba (2 v 3)

 

[Gavin Excell]

Carlton to play GWS in successive weeks

 

[Bald]

Why not, isn't it St Kilda's preferred home ground? And what sort of crowd would a Saints v Swans final draw at the MCG?

Dogs/Crows was at the MCG in 2015 and got 61000. I may be wrong but I assume Saints/Swans would draw equal, if not more.

 

[blueiris]

Thursday night: Carlton v GWS MCG (5 v 8)
Friday night: Collingwood v Melbourne MCG (1 v 4)
Saturday: Sydney v St Kilda SCG (6 v 7)
Saturday night: Brisbane v Port Adelaide Gabba (2 v 3)

The 2 preliminary finals are usually before the Elimination finals

Sydney also draw well in Melbourne due to all the old south Melbourne supporters. Def be at the G
