Anyone know what time time and days the two preliminary finals will be on. Saturday I am more interested in.
Will it be a twilight, day or a night game on the Saturday?

The last MCG Saturday prelim was 4:35pm Melbourne time (COLL vs GWS 2019)
Previous 2 years twilight prelim games have been
5:15 (Gabba)
4:45 (SCG)
So it’ll be somewhere between these

4.45pm is my guess
Twilight but it will depend who is playing.
If GWS, it might be a fraction earlier as Sydney airport closes 11pm.

They did 5.15pm in Brisbane last year as I reckon they wanted to eat into the broncos game.
Why can't they just make it a day game FFS.
Broadcasters pay the bills. The later the game, the more viewers.
A whole lot of local grand finals played that day, a 4:45 bounce should coincide with the last ten minutes of local footy in the eastern states, then everyone can hang around the bar afterwards celebrating watching the prelim.
This is a good reason

Am I right in saying that the GF is the only final played with a red ball these days?
Unfortunately yes.

It's a bit of an oddity.
