Question re Friday's practice match

[insainiac63]

How long will the match run?
Are the quarters a set length with or without time-on???

considering weather is not going to be an issue, and it being an official NAB cup game (as opposed to a practice match) it'd be whatever the last 2 rounds of NAB cup have been id suggest.

The games over the last 2 weeks have been going on average about 23-26 miniutes per quarter, which puts the run total run time around 2 1/2 hours, which is about a 15 minutes saving on the home and away games of last year.

So it should all be over by about 6.30 or so, which means there will be peak hour traffic on the way home, woo hoo.

Anyone know if you're allowed on the ground at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 & end of match like the VFL games? I'm guessing it would be a NO but thought I'd ask as I'm planning on going.

Maybe at the end, but I'd very much doubt it during the game breaks.

LOL no chance matty - the traffic youll see is people going out looking for takeaway, or going to restaurants. us inner city folk dont do things like travel home from work at 6.30.

There's these things called freeways, and appearance between 5 and 7 on any weeknight they get rather busy, especially outbound.

I know you inner city folk would only travel on them when you are heading down to your holiday homes, so I forgive your ignorance.

I'm pretty sure the last round of the NAB Cup is standard AFL rules with larger squads? Or is that just the GF? It would make sense if it was the entire round.
