I'd love Saturday afternoon.

For TV reasons they have played one on Friday night and one on Saturday for the past two years.Originally posted by Young Blood
I'm not too keen on us playing on Friday night, considering we haven't played any Friday night games during the season.
Would be please if the AFL decided to play both games on Saturday (like they used to).
In 2003 they had Saturday day and night.
In 2004 they had Friday night and Saturday night.
I think it was viewed as too much of a disadvantage for the team playing a day later (and I think it may have cost Brisbane the flag that year).
In 2005 they decided to have Friday night (for the winner of the QF 1st v 4th) and Saturday daytime (for the winner of the QF 2nd v 3rd).
I assume they will stick with that this year.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I can feel a sickie coming on or would that be dishonest.Originally posted by NMWBloods
Sorry yes - we get Friday night.
I was thinking we just played 2nd v 3rd, but we actually played 1st v. 4th.
So we play Friday night and Adelaide play Saturday afternoon.

All our 2005 finals bar the GF were played on Friday night. Now that didn't end up too bad did it?Comment

No - but we lost one of those games and were ordinary for 3 quarters in another.Originally posted by ugg

I would imagine that TV ratings will have a large say in scheduling - so I'd expect that we will play Fri night with the game at AAMI on Sat afternoon.
As for ground availability - the NRL has usually had their Sat night prelim at Aussie Stadium and Sun arvo prelim at Telstra. So the only issue would be if the AFL decided we would play Saturday.

If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

Why not Sat arvo for us and Sat night at AAMI?
Friday night is very inconvenient for me.
They say they'll be selling the tix next Wed so I guess they will have decided by then.Comment

Because if West Coast win in Adelaide, they can't fly back to Perth until the Sunday, so doesn't help the recovery for them.Originally posted by j s

Friday night and Sat afternoon is the new standard for Prelims.Comment

I thought we'd get Saturday night. If it's verse Fremantle it'll be at SCG or Melbourne at TS.Vicky Pollard: Oh my god I so can't believe you just said that this is like the time I threw Anita's nokia in the canal as a joke and she's like you have well got to buy me another one and I'm like get over it and then Paul came over who's adopted anyway and started saying that I fancy Mark Bennett but oh my god just because I have sex with someone doesn't mean I fancy them.Comment

If TS is available it will be at TS, regardless of opposition. There is n agreement to hold finals at TS, the only reason last year's game v Geelong was at the SCG was that TS was unavailable due to an NRL game.Originally posted by BonBon

Not to mention fact that tickets go on sale this Wednesday, before we know who our opponent will be.Originally posted by Mike_B

Yeah - How can they sell the tickets before they are sure of the venue or the opponent??Comment

They will know the time of the game before Wednesday, which allows the AFL to lock in the venue. Our opponent is irrelevant.Comment

They did that in 2003 as well. They just kept an allocation of tickets for Brisbane supporters but started selling them before the Semi-Final weekend.Originally posted by liz

I wonder where the standard seats will be? Probably Level 6 in the nosebleeds
How many tickets can you buy per card? I already had people at work asking me last week to buy tickets for them.
This is what the site says:
I still think it will be held on the Friday night. We''ll have to wait and see later this evening. Just think of the nervous energy while at work on that Friday.Members may be able to purchase more than one (1) ticket per memberComment
