If GWS played Thursday last week and Geelong played Friday, why isn't the GWS game on Friday and Geelong on Saturday?
Adelaide plays the Friday Prelim, having been ranked 1st at the end of the H and A, and winning the QF.
Winner of Geelong v Sydney plays Adelaide, therefore to avoid a 6 day break, they give that game the Friday Night.

From this, no teams have any 6 day breaks leading into the Grand Final except Sydney.

From Week 3 (Due to the bye, 1st weeks game doesn't matter)
Adelaide Friday --> Saturday
Richmond Saturday --> Saturday

From Week 1
Geelong Friday-->Friday-->Friday-->Saturday
Sydney Saturday-->Friday-->Friday-->Saturday

GWS Thursday-->Saturday-->Saturday-->Saturday
WCE Saturday-->Saturday-->Saturday-->Saturday

As you can see, Sydney would have the 6 day break leading into the Semi or the Prelim. As the Prelim is seen as the more important game, it is given the 7 day break. Either/or, it's the only one this entire finals series.
