Wouldn't think that the winners of the elimination finals would be given extra days break over the losing qualifying finalists.

I'd go

Thursday- Adelaide vs GWS
Friday - Geelong vs Richmond
Sat arvo- Port vs Ess
Sat Night- Sydney vs Melb

West Coast vs Bulldogs (6th vs 7th) was on Thursday last year.

West Coast vs Bulldogs (6th vs 7th) was on Thursday last year.

It is the AFL we are dealing with after all, what do integrity and fairness matter anyway!

However in the OP they had both qualifying finals on Saturday, and there is no way they would make one of those teams play on a Friday night off a 6 day break vs an opponent with a day or two extra break....is there?

First week of the finals is coming off a week's rest so the order of the games will be to maximise tv coverage.

 

[boncer34]

Thursday night: Port Adelaide Vs Essendon
Friday night: Adelaide Vs Geelong

Yep agreed.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Is Thursday night final a given?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Is Thursday night final a given?

Pretty much.

 

[davos44]

AFL confirmed Thursday night is a lock. NO SUNDAES!

GWS and Geelong will have a massive swing.

If GWS Win

Thursday Night
GWS Vs Richmond

Friday Night
Adelaide vs Geelong

Saturday Arvo
Sydney vs Melbourne

Saturday Night
Port Vs Essendon

If Geelong Win (assuming Richmond win by 3-5 goals +) but if its a really close loss for GWS and a really close win to Richmond, see above with Richmond and Geelong swapped.

Thursday Night
Adelaide Vs GWS

Friday Night
Geelong vs Richmond

Saturday Arvo
Sydney vs Melbourne

Saturday Night
Port Vs Essendon

If Adelaide finish 1st they may have first pick of the time slots? I'm not sure. They will definitely ask for Friday night in any case.

Reckon so.

Adelaide has always supported Thursday night games and will rates well on East coast.

So you want us to have an 11 day break while the others get 12 & 13? C'mon man.

 

[Rabman]

Looks like Adelaide is confirmed to have the Thursday game. If it's against GWS might struggle to get 50k but if its either Geelong, Richmond or Sydney guaranteed 50k.

 

[Danger!Selwood]

Thu Night - Port V St Kilda
Fri Night - Adelaide V Geelong
Sat - Sydney V West Coast
Sat (n) - GWS V Richmond

Hmmmm, so assuming saints beat tigers, how do Richmond go above geelong?
