same with 09.
They needed to do this because of round 22 schedule. Hence why they changed it this year. I think it will be us on Friday night and Collingwood saturday night and the other two will be saturday day and sunday day.
I am pretty sure they would want the two best games to be the two night games.

i cant make both nights, so it better be a day game.
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."
Since 2007, 1v4 have played on Sunday afternoon whilst 2v3 played Friday night in 07-08, and Saturday afternoon in 09. If I was to guess, I'd say we'd be playing Saturday afternoon to give both teams a 7 day break.

Dools what have you got on that could keep you away from a final????
STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY.

Main Event doesn't get any finals unfortunately. But I'm pretty sure it's only Friday nights that will be delayed for the interstate viewers such as myself.
Both broadcasters have been told that their marquee Qualifying finals will be the night games at the MCG.
With Collingwood to be given the extra days rest due to finishing top, it is absolutely certain that Saints vs Cats will be Friday night, with Pies vs Dogs Saturday night. lock that in, book your flights etc. as that is not changing.
Once again TV rules the AFL decision. AD working towards the $1bill for next TV rights and the buig bonus attached to it.
Works for me though as unable to make a Saturday night this week or next.
WE are also travelling back from interstate.....why would we field a full side if we are likely to get a 6 day break?
Makes no sense to me.
Time the AFL speaks at least privately to the clubs and gives them an idea of their thinking.
IF it's Freo vs Carlton in Week 1 of the finals, that game should be on Friday night, gives them both 7 days off.
We could play Saturday arvo and get 7 days off also.
Collingwood plays Sunday and gets 8 days off.
Makes it all fair to everyone.
But no, bend over ALWAYS to TV
The clubs probably would have known what the possible days are for finals but you just assume they wouldnt. The way you want it isnt fair at all. Firstly we have an unimportant game this week and can manage a 6 day break but the way you want it is after a hard final and if the worst thing happens and we lose you want a 6 day break and so would the loser of pies and WB. Both losng sides would then play teams that have had 7 day breaks. How is that fair for the top sides after a hard final.
This draw is equal to us and geelong. Our players sleep in their own bed on saturday night and get home at 10pm. Big deal. The one hour travel will not have any effect.
If Fremantle is in the sixth versus seventh clash, the qualifying final between Geelong and St Kilda will move to Friday night, as the loser of this match will play the winner of the 6 v 7 contest the following week.
From a purely selfish point of view, Saturday night good, Friday night bad. Go Dockers.

Surely if the worst happens and we lose our first final we would rather play a team coming back from Perth on a 6 day break than a Melbourne team on a 6 day break. I have something on friday night as well but I say go Sydney.

Probably Saturday but sadly I'd rather our club have the best chance to win than me or you attending the game. Hopefully we will beat Geelong so the 7 day break will not come into it.
