Etihad
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
Most likely will be Etihad. It'll be on the Saturday, with Collingwood v West Coast being at the MCG during the day. Being an interstate side, the lesser of the two finals and not the one involving Collingwood, we'd get the lesser of the two grounds. Also is St Kilda's home ground, so more technically a HOME final for them.
I know people like Beaussie will hate me, but I hope St Blunda gets up next weekend. 3 trips to Sydney in 4 weeks for me is just too much to handle (and it is ALWAYS about ME you know!).
The Aints at Etihad would actually be more advantageous than playing at ANZ would, in terms of the playing surface and field configurations. But we just beat them at ANZ.

Serious question here.
If Stkilda do win on Friday night, and it's official that the elimination final against Stkilda WILL be played in Melbourne, should we 'rest/manage' certain players in the Brisbane game, the same way Collingwood and Geelong have done throughout the season.
I don't know, maybe a Mumford, Goodes, ROK and Bolton could do with a week off?
Like I said, we only do this if we're NOT fighting for a 'Sydney' final!

Haha, don't I have egg on my face?
God, for some reason I was convinced the Saints vs Blues game was Friday night!!!
We need a home final if we are to progress further in the finals than about week 2.
However, if we cant get a home final, I wouldnt mind meeting Carlton in the first week. How good would it be to eliminate those cocky bastards again.
It would be blinkin fantastic.. I hate Carlton..
For that to happen, the Brions would need to beat us by 111 points.
Nothing too blinkin fantastic about that....

Sounds like a home SCG final is not out of the question (if we earn one). Andy D has changed his tune slightly over the ANZ surface.

Wow how good would that be? The atmosphere would be electric!
