We played in 2017. That EF with double overtime vs Port at the AO, Shuey kicking the winner after the siren, is the best non grand final finals game/win we've ever played.

This has been the case since the league started in 1897. Finals are not home games.
Not necessarily. I guarantee you that at a GWS or Gold Coast home final against Collingwood, Collingwood fans would outnumber the home team fans.

Anyone have an idea of which teams play in the semi finals week 2?
Friday night - Loser Crows/pies v winner giants/ hawks
Saturday night - Loser cats/lions v winner dockers/suns
That's what seems logical to me anyway

^That's correct
Cats/Hawks prelim to be an all time great game
The 1 v 4 and 5 v 8 match up is easily the most interesting pairing imo. Collingwood clearly have the wood over Adelaide and the Giants have never lost to Hawthorn in Sydney (in fact the Hawks have never won at the Showgrounds).
And depending on the results the SF will feature another bogey team. On the other side of the draw, I feel the winner of the 2 v 3 final probably wins the flag. My tip is that Geel v BL will probably play off in the GF anyway (ala 2005/06, 2015, 2018)

I'm surprised we're not favourites. I was/am planning to put an insurance bet on the Cats but will wait for odds to change.

They are getting players back
They should be favourites. I reckon the bookies have got this one wrong.

They overestimate home ground advantage. The Dockers were paying $3 last Sunday. Brisbane at undefeated at the MCG this year too.
Freo fans keep going back to this.
I guess it is your most significant win in your entire history.
Nothing much else to fall back on.
Cats should get to play at GMHBA. WB/Saints should get to play at Marvel. And the Grand Final should be played at the highest ranking teams home ground.
It depends if you value $ over fairness.

Despite their consistent bragging over this, oddly I still want them to pop their AFL premiership cherry (if Geelong can't). The 2013 flex is a cover up for their lack of actual success, after all. I don't think they should be admonished for it.

Nah, it's just ****ing funny
Because the game is exactly how it was in 1897 and hasn't changed at all..
Collingwood fan defending the status quo, how original
Order should be that but I would guess the Saturday game will be twilight, allows the visitor to fly home that night if they win, which will be handy ahead of a Friday prelim

Looks like you are correct there.
I shouldn't have assumed the AFL would do something logical
Bit harsh. It does tend to pop to mind whenever a Geelong home final is referred to.
Supply and demand. Giants struggle to fill their 20k stadium even for finals. If there was sufficient demand the game would be moved to a larger stadium.
