Saturday. Just not sure if Day or Night yet

when do the fixtures usually get released? Not used to this finals stuff.

Surely the AFL wants the marvel revenue from a packed house

Let them talk us down. Been happening all year.

The AFL wants money.

Twilight Saturday I believe

On SM-G988B using BigFooty.com mobile app

A bunch of concussions in that game including Himmelberg wasn’t it?

First thing that comes to mind is Marshall in the ruck.

Physical rucks tend to lower his colours.

 

[BrutThough]

when do the fixtures usually get released? Not used to this finals stuff.

Probably first thing tomorrow.

Probably debating right now where our game is played.

 

[Speck]

We really should be asked where we want to play for this game. Geelong would get a final v GWS at Kardinia Park for sure.

Not sure where I'd prefer to play. We're better at Marvel (and 50k Saints fans will have it rocking) but the finals experience at the MCG will be invaluable.

 

[rodney86]

No finals at Docklands thank you. The one against Sydney in 2011 just felt like a home and away game. The more MCG games the better.

 

[bergholt]

We did beat them by 12 points in Round 10.

They weren't going super well then, night and day with their form now. Also they were missing Taylor, and then Haynes and Himmelberg both got injured. Think they're in better shape now.

It's not quite the home run derby I was looking for but tantalising all the same.

Pushed this one to deep left field

 

[70s sainter]

Would prefer 50 at the docklands . Looks better, sounds better. Go Saints!!!

 

[cram15]

Love marvel, but the MCG finals experience for our players would be unreal!

A base hit is a base hit.

 

[George]

Slept through the entire 2nd half

Going back through this thread reading how riled up everyone is as we bounce out of 6th

End up 6th anyway

Bunch of mad campaigners I love it

Wait till the Game

 

[seasonedsainter]

Except we already beat them. Away.
This time we’ll be on our home turf.

Exactly this. We should go in favourites with zero fear. I'll be bitterly disappointed if we can't reach week 2. Think we will however!

 

[seasonedsainter]

Pardon the intrusion and congratulations on the home final.

Would you rather play the final at the 'G or Docklands?

Great to see you guys in there instead of the Dogs, a much more deserved Finals appearance off the back of some excellent form.

I'd prefer we play at the 'G personally, home of football and where the Flag is won, but I reckon it will be at the Dome!

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Something interesting from the Dogs forum. Unsure of accuracy of the table (expected scores ladder), but you’d think we’d be able to vastly improve next year with; a healthier list, maturing of kids, continued gelling of forwardline, our multiple A grade recruits

It was also the game where Owens was knocked out by Caminiti. Probably affected a few of the boys. Hammer was definitely flat from that point.

 

[Joffaboy]

Even in a finals we still get a twilight game against GWS.

Creatures of habit are the AFL

Docklands

What’s the bet we won’t be favourites?
( Based on what’s happened all year.)
Don’t care really. Us against the world.
