If they want to maximise crowds then the Geelong home game should be a Saturday afternoon/twilight.

Gabo on SEN just said he'd got a tip off that Adelaide Thursday night most likely
Don’t know why people think Geelong v Brisbane will be Friday night, they always group 1/4, 5/8 together and 2/3, 6/7 together.
Since the Suns are playing Wednesday, they should be playing Saturday night against the Dockers.
Cats/Lions Saturday twilight.
Crows v Pies Thursday night and Giants v Hawks Friday night.

I think I read so, but it'll 100% be MCG.

To make it work for the broadcasters means half the crowd are still travelling there after work - so you bounce down to a half full stadium. No one in WA likes Friday night games - much rather a Saturday night.

So you are saying you haven't booked the flights to Perth yet?
One of the great, modern day bed soiling achievements to miss the finals.
You will make it and manipulate the result to avoid playing Freo in Perth.

It would be hilarious for GC to try to curate a margin the get themselves into the finals but avoid coming to Perth, only to screw it up and miss finals completely in the process.
Surely when aiming for their first ever finals series they just make sure they get there

GC Winning:
Adelaide vs Collingwood Thursday night.
GWS vs Suns/Hawks the Friday night.
---
Geelong vs Brisbane Saturday twilight, perhaps even a mid-late afternoon like 3.40 Eastern.
Freo vs Suns/Hawks Saturday night (Twilight)
*Pies and Crows played Friday night and Saturday arvo respectively.
*Brisbane, Freo, GWS and Gold Coast get appropriate time off.
*No way known Adelaide and Collingwood will accept a Saturday night game to get less time to recover against the EF winner
* The AFL and broadcasters will try to avoid a GWS vs GC prime time slot but tough luck

Yeah surely given all possible combinations for EF2 played either late Sunday or play Wednesday it'll be Sat night.
GWS home final on a Friday night would be a wet dream for the AFL, no matter who the opponent.

Giants are the only club to date to play their first final against an interstate club. Fellow expansion club the Suns look very likely to join them.
Sydney-era Swans, Eagles, Crows, Bris Bears & Lions, Port & Freo all played a Vic team.
The first ever all-interstate final? That 1997 Week 1 between Adelaide & West Coast rescheduled due to the Diana funeral.

Suns will get a large, safe lead early then allow Bombres some junk time goals to bring margin back to 3 goals. Gets 8th place and avoids Freo in Perth.
I would if I was them.

Yes this is what it should be. Although I don’t understand the point of Thursday night finals at all, should have Sunday and that gives Suns more of the bye week everyone else gets.
We finished top in 2022 and got to choose when we wanted to play. We chose the Saturday as Thursday is a horrendous slot especially for Geelong people.
Traffic is ridiculous but how are Thursdays good? Travelling fans need extra day off work, kids have School the next day even adults need to get to bed for work.
Sundays you can have everyone over for a bbq as most of us are free to do things.
Thursday night final….. shhh no cheering. The kids are asleep.
The worst timeslot in the history of timeslots.
That is the logical fixture. Adel and Freo will sell out, GWS and Cats will go close.
Absolutely no reason why the AFL can’t announce this now. Travelling fans can start making arrangements. And they could put the QFs tickets on sale immediately.
