The SANFL will announce its Rd 24 schedule on Monday.

At a guess I would say.
- Sat Aft - Port v Sturt (for the TV game) @ Alberton
- Sat Night - Central v North @ Playford Alive
- Sun Aft - Glenelg v South @ Gliderol Stadium
- Eagles v West @ Unleash Solar.

Would West wanna play on a Sunday giving Central a night extra recovery before there qualifying final clash.

Play them all on Sunday afternoon

Without saying too much I would be very shocked if Eagles v West was not Sunday.

Thats the only one I have total confidence about, the rest is an educated guess.

Port v Sturt makes sense on Saturday given one game needs to be on TV Saturday Afternoon
but hey given other leagues (WAFL & VFL) are on Sunday maybe we dont need a Sat Aft game
and the ABC will telecast on the Sunday.

Central could play Sunday but as a rule I dont think they ever play home games on a Sunday.

Yes Jim all 4 on Sunday (if TV works out) would be a crazy way to end the year.

Yay, was praying for there not being a Sat arvo game at Elizabeth. Look out Centurion, payback for the North's Presiden'ts Group lunch is coming!

Keen for a Friday or Saturday night game at the bay.

Well given they have a bye this week and we play Sunday and the first finals are Sunday (assuming North make it?) then why can't Centrals play on Sunday?

The NAFC should only agree to a Sunday game!

Krazy Kris won't allow Sunday games.

1 game has to be played Sat arvo for TV

play 1 Fri night, 1 Sat, 1 Sat night and 1 Sunday, maximum exposure for the last minor round

All year it's been programmed as a Saturday game, We aren't changing it....besides, the bouncy castle is booked!

And good on him too!
Sunday games suck and there should be none of them.

Yes Glenelg v South on Friday Night at the Bay would be great but I think the Tigers have used up their quota of night games allowed as part of their planning approval.

Perhaps the Bays can request a venue change to Noarlunga on Friday night, certain win

Always wondered why Centrals don't have the odd home game on Sundays. Thought it would be a good way to connect with the strong BLG comp a bit more. What is the reason? Is it a recruiting strategy?

Hopefully they schedule all the games at the same time on Sunday afternoon. If the Eagles win today - the Eagles v West and Glenelg v South game should at least be scheduled at the same time as it would be unfair on whichever team plays first with the second game having the advantage of knowing exactly how much they'd need to win by.

Maybe they could just try and win by as much as they can.

North Football Manager Darryl Wintle just advised on LifeFM that they are expecting to play Saturday Night at Elizabeth, awaiting final confirmation.

If all 4 games are on Sunday and given that ABC want/need a game on Saturday, wouldn't the Leagie have one game on the Saturday.

Darren Chandler just announced on fiveaa SANFL show

it is as guessed at the start of the thread.
