To ensure Collingwood get a 7 day break (for finishing top of the ladder), they will be playing Saturday night.

Geelong vs. St. Kilda Friday night at the MCG.

Early range forecast predicts a few showers with a top of 18 degrees...

It was pretty much given today that it's going to be Friday night.

Point being, the loser will play Friday night every week. Winner will get Friday Preliminary final.
Whilst the other Qualifying final the loser will play Saturday night every week, and winner gets Saturday night Preliminary.


They walk amongst us...

The draw will be announced this Saturday night as the the Sunday games will have no impact on the finals.

It's actually in the article that you have linked.

If Fremantle finishes fifth, Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs will meet in the first qualifying final next Friday night at the MCG.
Geelong will then play St Kilda in the second final on Saturday night, also at the MCG.
To finish fifth, Fremantle must beat Carlton and the Sydney Swans must lose to the 13th-placed Brisbane Lions on Saturday night at the Gabba or win by a much smaller margin than Freo.
The margins of both games are important, with Fremantle needing to win by about nine goals more than the Swans to make up the percentage difference.

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.
Collingwood-Western Bulldogs would then be scheduled for Saturday evening.
