What day/night is our preliminary on?

[bigcarl]

Do we know yet?

[saintDal]

I think the higher placed team gets the Friday game.

[Banger724]

Yep, 99% sure we'll have a Saturday prelim.

[Sainternist]

Sure, there's the advantage of getting the extra day rest, however, my superstition gets the better of me since our last two GF appearances came via Friday night Prelims. Okay, I'm gonna shut up...

[matrix]

day or night you reckon?

[Richter]

Our game will be the Saturday because the pies finished higher so get the extra day rest before the Granny (presuming that they win).

Also because then it means that both the winning teams from Week 2 get exactly one week break - rather than 2 tema with 8 day break and 1 team with 6 day break.

[bigcarl]

Thanks guys. That's what I thought. Bugger it. Not sure I can get the day off work.

[Sainternist]

a prelim during the day would be a nice change. we seem to play just about all our finals at night.

Won't happen, tv ratings far too important..

[Richter]

Night.

In order to allow interstate travellers time to drive in during the day....

Or to maximise TV ratings.....

lol
im not fussed if its 3am.ill be there
just its hard to organize stuff at the last minute.
stuff it
we might just come over for friday AND saturday night

edit

aeroplanes this time

[saintdooley]

there are only day prelim's if the game is being played interstate, incase the interstate team wins they get that extra 8 hours rest before the flight and so on.
Both will be at the G, so both night games.

That's not the reason at all!
We play the winner of Dogs v Swans who play Sat night, Pies play winner of Cats v Freo who play Friday night. Both Semi winners get a seven day break!

No, Collingwood entitled to Friday Night prelim.

[Schillaci]

Bummer for me also...one finals game per week on Sky TV in NZ and will be the non-Saints one.

Our opponents are playing Sat night

Collingwoods opponents are playing Fri night

Prelims will be the same, (Coll Fri, StK Sat) stake your life on it

[Badlands]

When you say stake your life on it... am i safe to book a flight that gets me into melb at 6pm Saturday? (which is the only flight at a price i can afford!). I would LOVE to be there for the Prelim. Need to make a decision very quickly before flight sells out though.

Grateful if someone can confirm the likelihood of our prelim being Saturday night?

Agree

Otherwise our opponents would have a 6-day-break, while Collingwood's would have an 8-day break.

& from a filth perspective; what's wrong with that?

Saturday 7.15pm, which means there will be a Roll Call at The Corner at 5.15pm !!
