    So is it a Fri night match next week or what?

    That's what ABC is saying
    I hope not!

    I wont be able to even watch it live on telly if that's the case, let alone get to the match.

    You would think that the matches would be played on Sat and Sun.

    Crap.

    Realistically, the loser of Adel v Stk should play the winner of Kangaroos v Port on Saturday afternoon, and we would play Geelong on the Saturday night.

    Further to that, I am a supporter of both prelim finals being played on the Saturday. That way no-one gets an extra day's rest after the second week of the finals. (Except the preliminary finalists who get the week off, of course)

    If Dean Laidley can get an extra day's rest for the Roos after finishing 5th, we should get an extra day too, recognizing that we've not only finished 3rd, but faced a tough trip to Subiaco the previous week. Roos should get onto this before they announce next week's draw, if he hasn't already.

    On the AFL site they have the loser of QF2 playing on Sat night.

    It would be a @@@@@@fight trying to get to a Fri night match in Sydney wherever it was held.

    At the moment, it is still to be decided depending on availability of Telstra Stadium which is based upon where the Wests Tigers finish in the NRL. So we won't know until tomorrow evening by the looks of things.

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

    The league match only determines the venue not the night, it's the night I'm worried about!

    If it's Sat - I can go!

    It determines the night - the venue has been confirmed as Telstra Stadium.

    If the Tigers finish 4th, they will play their game on Fri night, if they finish 2nd or 3rd, they will play on Sat.

    Please not Friday. We have the PeeWee soccer "grand final" and presentation on Sat morning. There is no way that can be avoided.

    Both AFL semi-finals could be played on a Saturday next week but Sydney's semi-final clash will definitely be at Telstra Stadium and not at the SCG.

    However AFL spokesman Patrick Keane confirmed on Saturday the Swans' semi-final against either Geelong or Melbourne would be at Telstra Stadium although the scheduling of the match will not be announced until Sunday until the AFL knows what day the ground - which will also host NRL finals next week - is available.
