If we made the Prelim?

[game on]

Would we play Friday night, Saturday or Saturday night?

 

[Pie in the Sky]

Would we play Friday night, Saturday or Saturday night?

I'd imagine it would be Saturday to give us a seven day break (winner of the other match would also get a seven day break by playing Friday), and I'd dare say it'd be a night game, not sure though.

I think it would be Sat arvo - don't think there is Prelims played on Sat nights before a GF.....Usually by 5pm on the Sat we know who is in the GF

 

[Whacker]

I always thought the prelims were friday and saturday nights

Pretty sure Geelong Pies last year was Saturday night

The AFL will want a 2:30pm start, the tv networks will want a 7:30 start.

Highly doubtful it'll be Saturday night due to the extra days break for 1 team.

Compromise of a 4pm twilight start maybe?

I stand corrected.

I just googled last years Prelim between Port and North Melb and it was on at 4pm. Although that may have been because it was interstate with North having to fly back to Melbourne if they won to recover. With two Victorian teams they may be able to pursuade the AFL to play a night match.

First things first though - St Kilda

I think the prelims are usualy Friday night and Saturday Arov

The Geelong Prelim will be the Friday night game as they were the top team and get the advantage of the extra Days break before the GF

And when i think back to 02 and 03 the Prelims were Saturday arvo
I think saturday night could bo too much of an advantage for the Friday night team

but hey i could be wrong.....

Collingwood would def play Saturday afternoon if they were to make the prelim.
This is guaranteed.

Geelong vs Western Bulldogs/Sydney Friday Night.

Hawthorn Vs Collingwood/St Kilda Saturday Afternoon.

Interesting, I would've thought Saturday night, not afternoon. Primetime, etc.

I believe the last time that occurred was in 2003. I remember coming home from our game and watching the Lions v Swans game on TV and hoping that all the players would get involved in a massive punch-on and be suspended.

Saturday twilight is the tip. 4.30pm start so the second half would be under lights.
