    We've only ever played at Telstra Stadium on Saturday nights. Correct?
    That would be my bet.

    Rumour yesterday was Friday. But who knows. I would wait until 7.30 tomorrow night to be honest.

    Hard to predict what the AFL are going to do.

    Brisbane will be Sat night to avoid the daytime heat so the Saints will not complain about playing in 26 degrees.

    Essendon play Sunday so will get 7 days = Sunday game against Dumbons.

    Therefor Swans either Friday night or Saturday daytime.

    My bet Friday night? as Port play Sunday so need 7 days.

    My guesses:
    Brisbane V St. Kilda - Gabba, Friday Night.
    Melbourne V Essendon - MCG, Saturday Afternoon.
    Sydney V West Coast - Telstra Stadium, Saturday Night.
    Port V Geelong - Aami, Sunday Afternoon.

    ...but, who can assume to know the mind of the AFL?

    I would agree with that, but I think Brisbane will try and argue against that tomorrow to the AFL before it is announced and I think the AFL will agree with them.

    Brisbane do not want to go head to head with the Broncos on Television.

    I'm thinking our game will be Saturday night at Telstra Stadium.

    I don't think the AFL would like to go head to head with Friday night NRL on Channel 9.

    My money would be on either Sat afternoon or Sat night, I am pretty sure all games at Stade de Oz have been Sat nights.
    However i guess a case of wait and see if the AFL move the game from Melb

    Well, I have just booked my flight for Sat morn, Tony Morwood, reckoned it was 70% to be Sat night, so that was good enough for me.
