Prediction Week One Finals schedule prediction

[catters078]

5th vs 8th is almost always the last match of the weekend, not the first


they'll have each of the QFs on thu & Fri, and then the EFs on Sat. It isn't right though. Geelong should be Saturday arvo

Would be unfair to essendon if they won, to play sat night with the travel day the next day..that scenario would give the QF loser almost a 2 or 3 day break.

Makes too much sense to have them on the Thursday night.

Don't be silly, we don't deserve advantages for finishing first. Collingwood, West Coast, Richmond, GWS, Essendon and Brisbane, however...

In fact, only the Dogs, North, Saints and us are left out in the cold, if we finish high enough in a season. Joke of a system.

You have the advantage of never travelling more than 80k for most of the year unlike 8 other teams.

You have the advantage of never travelling more than 80k for most of the year unlike 8 other teams.

And you have the advantage of getting an actual 'home' advantage in finals, by finishing high enough. We're the only team in the comp that doesn't get that advantage. Despite our ground being bigger than GWS' and Metricon, and similar to the Gabba.

Like I said earlier, I've heard all this before. We finished first, yet we have no advantages for achieving that feat.

I don't care about the ground, I care about the hypocrisy of the AFL apparently 'caring about supporters', in general, yet not caring if Geelong supporters can't make it to the game because they've scheduled the game 2 hours after people finish work.

******

I'd like to see you travel from Goolwa to Adelaide, right after you finish work (that's if you finish at 5 and not 5:30 or 6, or later).

Don’t be moronic.

One is an advantage of location. It will always exists during the regular season. If you don’t like it, support a team that isn’t isolated.

The other is an advantage for performance, one Geelong deserves as 1-seed, and Essendon don’t as 8-seed

If he comes out on the batmobile I'll allow it.

We know who's playing finals - but why wait for tomorrow for all the September analysis you need?

Guaranteed 6 day break for the Saturday semi winner heading into prelim if they schedule Richmond v Brisbane there. Very dumb scheduling. Give us Thursday. Essendon fans would prefer a Saturday too.

Surely they don't make the Eagles/Bombers game on a Thursday or Friday. We've already seen this year that it doesn't work that well having games in Perth on those days with the public transport issues.

You're assuming they care. It's all about TV.

Hasn't #1 had the Thursday game for years now?

In 2017 and 2018 they did.

2016 was an elimination final (Eagles vs. Dogs).
