Neutral. Wait till you play an away final finishing top so all the opposition fans can go.

No, understand how the fixture works the loser of Collingwood vs Melbourne plays the winner of Carlton vs Sydney so only 24 hours advantage not 48 hours which what you would be proposing.
Likewise the other side of the draw the games are being played on the same day so no advantage.
ergh if coll lose and carl win, we get jumper clash again liek a few weeks ago
In case it hasn’t been listed below, Pies game is on sale Tuesday morning 10am-2pm for members
I see the logic behind how it is scheduled, but the teams that don’t finish in the top four should not be getting any favours.
Thursday night football is an idea whose time has come. And gone - it's stupid and terrible for families.
Agree with Brownys comments, the Port v Brisbane game and time slot completely shafts port. Can’t fly home on the Saturday and lose a days recovery in comparison to the elimination final teams.
Shouldn’t be a deciding factor but every small bit counts at this point in the season. Top 4 teams should have all the advantages and that includes the extra days break.
Thurs/Fri night should be the QFs and elims to follow on the Saturday or at a minimum, the port / Brissy and saints / GWS game should have been switched.
But ratings come first!

Why would you not want your club playing on the biggest ground of them all? You seriously want to play finals at Marvel? That is such minnow mentality.
You mean the team that finished higher gets an advantage? Isn't that how it should be

Collingwood/Melbourne are getting an advantage playing on the Thursday - they get the extra day off compared to the winner of Carlton/Sydney. To be most fair they should have put Lions/Port in the afternoon and Saints/Giants at night to give the loser of Lions/Port to get the extra few hours to get home
And Port/Lions get no such advantage.
If Port Lions was on Friday night, it alleviates all the issues. Yes, it's a 2 extra day break for Coll/Melb, but that's what finishing higher should get you.
But the AFL see 2 non-Vic clubs so screwed them.

Mate, there's no point having this discussion if you are just gonna use Vic-bias as your argument.
Finish top 4 you get a double chance - not sure there needs to be a a fixture manufactured to force potentially 5th to have two days less rest than potentially 4th in any given season.

We did do that back in 2009. Twice.
Like it or not it is here to stay. The next broadcast rights deal requires Thursday night football to be weekly for the first fifteen rounds.
