Why wouldn’t they switch the Saturday games to give Carlton time to get home on Saturday

Booked Friday Sep 5 off in preparation for drowning my sorrows.
Hoping for a miraculous repeat of 2020 when we somehow made the GF and Port didn't after they knocked us off in a Qualifying final at AO proving the game means nothing. :lol:

Power, Bulldogs, Sydney and Brisbane for me.

Port face a Geelong side coming off a weeks rest. Is there an easier game in the AFL?

Even Port couldn't lose the unlosable.

Hey, we beat Collingwood in the Qual Final at the MCG two years ago after a week's rest!
But yeah, our general record ain't great. :(

A week less a day if they travel Sunday or even late Saturday night
Why disadvantage if you don’t have to?

He's saying if they win the gap between the qualifying and the semi.
I'm a bit concerned I understand him. :lol:

We need Geelong to do the right thing by SA footy and win so we cant have AO sullied by the AFL rubbish two days before our GF!
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

I've got Swans v Hawks and Cats v Giants in the Prelims

However, I would prefer the Giants get in so we get more of those clips with their song 8)

I reckon Swans v Giants is the hardest to tip.

Can't see Port dropping a double-chance final, think the Hawks get up in a high-scoring game, and Brisbane kick 12 goals to 3 after half time against the Blues to win comfortably.
