Switch of games could be on
Brisbane Times | July 31, 2009
The AFL is considering switching the order of games in round 22 to give some finalists an extra day's rest before the first weekend of the post-season.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said on Friday the AFL was considering changing the schedule to accommodate St Kilda, the Western Bulldogs and Collingwood, who all play on the Sunday.
Those three clubs are a good chance to finish in the top four.
The Saints-Melbourne game and Collingwood-Bulldogs clashes could be played earlier on the weekend, which would give the sides a longer break.

Re: Switch of games could be on
They should do it. It's only logical, especially as these three teams will all finish Top Four. (Assuming Collingwood get over Brisbane)
A 6 day break wouldn't be fair.
The AFL needs to show some flexibility.
Re: Switch of games could be on
I think it is just tough luck. The draw was made at the start of the year it shouldn't be changed to accomaodate other teams because of potential finals games.
Re: Switch of games could be on
If they couldn't do it for the Saints vs Geelong game how will they do it for the these games?
Re: Switch of games could be on
If it was possible, all last round games should be on the same time or at least the same day.

Bugger that I already have medallion club seats for that game and can only attend on the sunday.

Hey TCD, would this change your mind as to who you would rather play?

And this is why the game won't be changed.
Re: Switch of games could be on
They can't change venues because of corporate box arangements, but they can change days.
It's just common sense.
Re: Switch of games could be on
We are playing Collingwood...
Not much more to say apart from the fact they will be given the red carpet treatment due to the fact that they will finish top 4 most likely and be 2 + finals (big TV audience & big game day attendence throughout the finals)
Our fortune for round 22 by default
If we were playing Freo or Melbourne in round 22 on a Sunday afternoon we would be told to suck it up
Re: Switch of games could be on
I'd be happy for the game to be moved - twilight games suck. :mad:

It will still be a twilight game, just on Saturday.
