Has this been announced?

Who plays the Friday semi?

Loser of Crows/Giants (8 day break) v winner of Power/Eagles (6 day break). This would mean winner of Crows/Giants gets the Saturday prelim.

Or

Loser of Cats/Tigers (7 day break) v winner of Swans/Bombers (6 day break). This would mean winner of Cats/Tigers gets the Saturday prelim.

Who the hell knows?

If Crows win they will get Friday night.

If GWS win who knows? May do what happened last year and say the 2v3 winner has the highest ranking so gets Saturday. (Especially if GWS vs Swans falls) would enable 2 night games.

Semis will be loser Cats v Tigers vs Winner Swans v Dons (Friday)
loser Crows Giants vs Winner Power v Eagles (Saturday) but if GWS win they may flip days to match up with Prelims.

Friday night
Geel/Rich vs Syd/Ess

Saturday night if Adelaide lose. Saturday twilight if GWS lose

Don't think they'll give the all interstate semi the Friday Night game

Good point, an all interstate final can't be on a Friday night. That's why a possible Showdown would rightfully be played Friday night. Oh, wait, interstate from where exactly?

Agree that they play the Giants prelim on Saturday if they win next week.

So if crows win, then it will be Giants v port/Eagles on Saturday. Winner playing cats/tigers the following Saturday.

If Giants win, then crows v port/Eagles Friday night, winner playing cats/tigers following Friday.

So Giants V Power/Eagles will be played where? Surely not Blacktown?

I reckon it'll be this.

Would love Port to make the prelim just to leave the possibility of a showdown GF open. On a neutral ground like the MCG I'd give the Power a chance.
Showdown Grand final might be the death of the city of Adelaide. There'd be riots in the street
