    The loser of the First Qualifying Final (Port Adelaide v Geelong Cats) hosts the winner of the First Elimination Final (West Coast Eagles v Collingwood) in the First Semi Final.

    The loser of the Second Qualifying Final (Brisbane Lions v Richmond) hosts the winner of the Second Elimination Final (St Kilda v Western Bulldogs) in the Second Semi Final.

    The winner of the First Qualifying Final (Port Adelaide v Geelong Cats) hosts the winner of the Second Semi Final (Brisbane Lions, Richmond, St Kilda or Western Bulldogs) in the First Preliminary Final.


    The winner of the Second Qualifying Final (Brisbane Lions v Richmond) hosts the winner of the First Semi Final (Port Adelaide, Geelong Cats, West Coast Eagles or Collingwood) in the Second Preliminary Final.

    The winners of the two Preliminary Finals face off in the 2020 AFL Grand Final.

    And if we do end up playing a final in Queensland, the Hemsworths can now be there to cheer us on after the Queensland border bubble has been extended:

    Bring it on.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    4.40pm start, expecting high of 26 with sunset at 5.49 pm, so most likely a little cooler then

    Any woofers from Queensland or states that can travel there planning to go?

    Elimination final fixture confirmed

    The Gabba will host the Saints-Dogs clash at 4.40pm AEST on Saturday 3 October.

    The AFL has today announced the fixtures for the first week of the 2020 Toyota AFL Finals Series.

    A twilight clash awaits for the seventh-placed Western Bulldogs in the second elimination final, against sixth-placed St Kilda.

    The Gabba will host the Saints-Dogs clash at 4.40pm AEST on Saturday 3 October.

    It will be broadcast live on Channel 7 and Fox Footy.

    The winner will progress to a semi-final against the loser of Friday night’s second qualifying final between the Brisbane Lions and Richmond.

    For key forward Josh Bruce, his first taste of finals football is set to come against his former side, after nine years in the AFL system.

    The Bulldogs and Saints haven’t met in a final for 10 years.

    Back-to-back preliminary finals between the two sides occurred in 2009 and 2010, with the Saints edging past the Bulldogs on both occasions.

    Tickets will go on-sale next Tuesday, September 29 via Ticketmaster for the Western Bulldogs’ elimination final at The Gabba. Tickets will be made available to club members prior to going on-sale to the general public.

    Remaining tickets not sold during the member priority period will be made available to the general public to purchase.

    Based on state border restrictions as of 24 hours prior to the ticket on-sale, only members who reside in states with open borders to Queensland, or who reside in Queensland, will be eligible to purchase tickets.

    Eligible members will be communicated to via email later this week, with relevant information (pricing, barcode, on-sale time).

    To view the full price breakdown of AFL Finals ticket prices, by week and venue, please click here.

    For more finals ticketing FAQs, or for the latest on-sale information, visit the club’s Finals Hub.

    Deflating. Badly wanted AO for both selfish reasons and because it’s what the Saints didn’t want.

    From a purely crowd/spectacle, you’d think the neutral relatively footy starved South Australians would likely be more likely also fill every available seat.

    I was surprised how few people there were at the hawks game - I think I heard around 4000? It was a nice day, would have expected more to turn up. I wonder how many neutrals would be keen in SA or Queensland at finals ticket prices?

    Edit: Apparently only 2625

    With that start time it will be pretty warm.

    Will need to bring heat to the contest.

    Might say let's put the Saints into Hell and burn their finals campaign.
