    Demetriou said Sydney and West Coast

    will play Friday night if the final is played at the MCG. He said (speaking on ABC radio Melbourne this morning), he would like it to be in Sydney but it may have to be in Melbourne.

    Wonder if 10 will show it live into Sydney if that is the case. If they don't, it will go down as the stupidest decision in the history of the VFL going national.

        If the final is on Friday night, I predict that there will be a short-lived flu epidemic in Perth on Friday!

          Thanks for tell me. I may well be in the same boat. Will look into getting time off today.

          Weird us playing on a Friday night though!

            Especially considering the match will start at 5:30pm, knock-off time in WA.

                I'd expect Channel Ten would show this game live into Sydney if it were Friday night.

                You can be sure that 10 would promote the hell out of it to make it worth their while as well.

                The league game is Brisbane vs Penrith - the fact it's not 2 Sydney teams will help our cause.

                  The fact that it is a major and popular contender v the reigning premiers wont help us though.

                    Our preliminary final against Brisbane last year was slaughtered in the TV ratings by the NRL final in Sydney between Canberra and the NZ Warriors.

                      true but 70k were at the ground ... only 10k would go to melb at best - so that 60k more viewers and its only a normal NRL round ie not a final

                        Hmmm last time I checked Penrith was part of the Greater Sydney area. Did someone plonk it west of the Blue Mountains overnight unbeknownst to me ?

                          It's still not 2 Sydney teams, it's only 1 unless they moved Brisbane...

                            That was my point.

                            Anyhow, 10 has a good record in showing Swans games live or on short delay, regardless of the impact on ratings.

                            Unlike 9 they seem to be serious about giving AFL decent exposure in Sydney.
