So let me get this right. If Hawthorn beat Sydney and Geelong beat Fremantle (assuming this is how the first week is structured). Then both the interstate teams will host the semi finals at their home grounds? Tumbleweeds through Melbourne week 2.

If that's what happens I couldn't care one iota, as it will mean a berth in the PF

Yes and it wouldn't be the first time it happened.

I demand they move at least one of those finals to Simonds!

Do we need a thread for every possible finals permutation?

And if Sydney beat Geelong and Freo beat Hawthorn than there's no finals in Melbourne week 3! And if Geelong beat Sydney but Freo beat Hawthorn there's only 1 final in week 2 and 1 in week 3! And if...
Yep happened back in 2006 as well, that year the top 4 was entirely made up of "interstate" teams though so I believe there were only 2 finals in Melbourne for the first 3 weeks.

And if Geelong, Sydney, Richmond and Collingwood win, there won't be any teams wearing blue in the second week. There's a scary thought.
Happened in 2006 and 2005 too

Just like how it is going to be interstate in Week 1. isn't it lovely how it evens itself out eventually?

AFL needs to do something about this imo. Freo should play a the G second week of finals so we have something to watch

Big deal. Those sides deserve the semi's in their home states for finishing in the top 4. Don't rule out an upset in the qualifying finals making Hawthorn or Geelong play in a Semi. A lot of people counting chickens before they hatch around here.

Well this thread went well for the OP!!
And if Hawthorn beat Sydney and Fremantle beat Geelong we can only assume Geelong will hold their semi final at Kardinia Park as well, so there'd be no finals in Melbourne that week either.
It's almost as though this league is based across the whole country.

Actually wouldn't be too bad a thing. SF and PF weekends are GF weekends for many local and country leagues, and many of these games draw big crowds, and obviously have two strong teams playing.
Reckon everyone could go local for their footy fix... stand on some grass and drink from a can while watching an entertaining grand final. Impossible not to enjoy, particularly in some of that warmer spring weather.
If people aren't gonna get to any AFL they might go along for a look.

As long as there are finals in Australia and channel 7 and stadium staffs don't strike and Qantas don't ground their fleet we will get to see the footy.
Want finals matches every week in Melbourne and we have to go back to VFL.

Hah - if the rumours are to be believed the AFL are already working on that result.
And if u live in SA or WA or Qld or NSW every final in the first week will be interstate
