I don't know, and I don't think the AFL knows either.

But surely they would want Saints v Pies next week.

Most likely.

Either Pies or winner of Cats/Dogs/North

[saintbrat]

if they are after crowds rather than crowd then would they not split the two grand finalsits

Ross thinks saturday ( in audio thread) which makes it Eagles either here or there.
Pies definately Friday game.
glad to have missed the Thursday game.

Friday, Feb 25 Etihad Stadium Collingwood v wildcard qualifier 7:40pm Seven
Saturday, Feb 26 Etihad Stadium or Patersons Stadium Winner of GEEL/WB/NMFC v wildcard qualifier
or
West Coast Eagles v wildcard qualifier TBC Ten

[kosifantutti23]

But if it's Saturday, it could be GEEL/WB/NMFC.

On Friday 25 February, pool two winner Collingwood will play the first of two wildcard qualifiers - given to the two second-placed round one pool teams with the highest percentage.

The second 'lucky loser' will play on Saturday 26 February, either at Etihad Stadium against Sunday's Geelong/Western Bulldogs/North Melbourne group winner or in Perth against the Eagles

So unless another draw takes place and they get a bigger percentage then us then its Saints vs Collingwood. Unless the AFL decide to change things around....

[kosifantutti23]

I don't think the "first of two qualifiers" means the team that finishes higher. It just means the first of the qualifiers to play in the second round.

What if a team from Sunday's games finished as the best lucky loser. They wouldn't force them to play on Friday.

I reckon it will be at the AFL's discretion based on amount of rest and travelling.

Didn't we get eliminated last night and Essendon won the 2011 Premiership? That's how I read the crowd reaction at the final final siren.

essendon 'Won' last night and they get to play Thursday- so don't think the time between games means much.

Hahha +1

+1 Their reaction left me stunned! I wasn't there for the final siren of the GF2 last year, but I would be very surprised if those supporting Collingwood were any happier than they were last night. They were screaming and jumping up and down and it was only a draw! Of a round 1 NAB Cup match in February. They would almost certainly have gotten through to the next round whether he'd kicked that goal or not, yet you'd think they won Tattslotto!

A few Essendon fans also reckon they're a chance at the flag now as well.

They seemed to get that excited after they beat us in Round 8 last year.

[Wizsteppa]

Hahaha.Well said Iceman.The way they were carrying on was nothing short of pathetic for February.

[SaintPav]

Let them enjoy it because Hird is going to be a miserable failure.
