Fixture Week 1 finals fixture

[TEDDY24INC]

Yes. Yes they would

And Geelong will request Saturday twilight, gives the best opportunity for ppl from Geelong to attend

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

As for why it can't be announced, it's probably to not give 5 & 6 an advantage over 7 & 8 in terms of prep and knowing when the game is. Everyone starts from Thursday morning.

I think thats a pretty minor advantage and if you finish 7th or 8th you cant really complain about 5th or 6th getting a minor advantage can you given they finished higher?

Thursday
QF1: Adelaide v Collingwood (Adelaide Oval) 7.40pm AEST

Friday
QF2: Geelong Cats v Brisbane Lions (MCG) 7.40pm

Saturday
EF1: GWS GIANTS v TBA* (Engie Stadium) 3.15pm *Likely Hawthorn
EF2: Fremantle v TBA* (Optus Stadium) 7.20pm AEST *Likely Gold Coast Suns

I think this will be the fixture.

What if the crows supporters boo Quaynor or Houston? AFLs worst nightmare. Can the 19th man contain themselves

 

[Spirit Level]

Please AFL anything but Friday night

We claim that Adelaide supporters are racist and refuse to play at the Adelaide Oval for the next 10 years! Worked for Sydney!!!

 

[Rod Stroker]

My mail suggests crows v Collingwood will be on the Saturday

day or night?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Please AFL anything but Friday night

why not Friday night? most coveted slot in the game

They have already been booing Houston the first 2 times we played them this year.

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

They'll group them up

Crows v pies THursday
Giants v Hawks Friday night

Cats v Lions Sat arvo
Freo v Suns Sat night

 

[SA HAWK]

Collingwood are going the most hostlie reception in history.

 

[SSSSSS]

Will the Giants be playing at Engie?

 

[YeoShuey]

Collingwood are going the most hostlie reception in history.

You say that as if no more than 30% of the stadium will be Collingwood supporters. I'm sure it will be fine.

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

It will be 2v3 and 6v7 on the Thursday and Friday night, because they like to plan the schedule to give the minority premier the Friday night prelim, assuming they win their QF.

I strongly suspect it will be
Thursday Geelong v Brisbane
Friday Freo v Gold Coast
Saturday day GWS v Hawks
Saturday night Adelaide v Collingwood

Following week
Friday loser game 1 v winner game 2
Saturday winner game 3 v loser game 4

Spot on.

No not at all.

But precedent has always had the qualifying final played first.

This is not correct. In 2018 gws played the swans on the Saturday afternoon in an elimination final, followed by the eagles v pies qualifying final in Perth in the twilight. Pies played gws the following Saturday in the semi

Oh, the horror..

 

[Rod Stroker]

They'll group them up

Crows v pies THursday
Giants v Hawks Friday night

Cats v Lions Sat arvo
Freo v Suns Sat night

what is this "grouping" based on?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Will the Giants be playing at Engie?

yes. apparently they inquired about playing it at the SCG but Pridham said GAGF

 

[bzparkes]

They have already been booing Houston the first 2 times we played them this year.

Yes. Because he knocked out Rankine and got himself a 4 week holiday.

 

[Spirit Level]

why not Friday night? most coveted slot in the game

Cause i have a wedding to go to

 

[Rod Stroker]

Yes. Because he knocked out Rankine and got himself a 4 week holiday.

As he should be. Just like you would be booing whoever knocked out one of your star players. This isn't an Adelaide thing.

 

[demondavey]

Thursday night- Adelaide def Collingwood
Friday night- GWS def Hawthorn
Saturday afternoon-Geelong def by Brisbane
Saturday night- Freo defeat GC

Friday night- Collingwood def by GWS
Saturday night- Geelong def Freo

Friday night- Brisbane def GWS
Saturday night- Adelaide def Geelong

Love it, but dreaming

 

[MisterMarcus]

And Geelong will request Saturday twilight, gives the best opportunity for ppl from Geelong to attend

Was going to say this.

Makes the most sense in terms of getting Cats fans to the game.

 

[demondavey]

They'll group them up

Crows v pies THursday
Giants v Hawks Friday night

Cats v Lions Sat arvo
Freo v Suns Sat night

Cats v Lions is Friday night for sure

 

[HD Sports]

AFL will be cheering for Suns by 5+ goals. Will allow them to have the Giants/Hawks on a Friday night something they wouldn't do for an expansion Cup EF.

Crows v Pies Thursday
Giants v Hawks Friday
Cats v Lions Saturday arvo (much like 2022 allowing for maximum Cats fans making the trip)
Dockers v Suns Sat night.
