Hawthorn and Bulldogs clash
Mark Stevens | August 28
THE Hawthorn-Western Bulldogs qualifying final appears almost certain to be scheduled for Friday night.
Talk is mounting the AFL will schedule the game for the MCG to kick off the finals series. It would allow both clubs a six-day break.
If North Melbourne, as expected, defeats Port Adelaide on Saturday, Geelong awaits in the other qualifying final. It is strongly tipped the clubs will meet at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.
Telstra Dome will host a final if St Kilda beats Essendon and Adelaide loses to the Dogs. If results go that way, it is highly likely the Saturday night game will be St Kilda-Sydney at the Dome. If Adelaide beats the Dogs, the Crows will meet St Kilda at AAMI Stadium on Saturday night.
A Collingwood win against Fremantle tomorrow night will ensure the Magpies play at the MCG on the Sunday -- against either the Crows or the Swans.
EXPECTED FINALS DRAW
If Dogs beat Adelaide and other favourites win -
Friday night Hawthorn v Bulldogs (MCG)
Saturday Geelong v North Melbourne (MCG)
Saturday night St Kilda v Sydney (TD)
Sunday Collingwood v Adelaide (MCG)
If Adelaide beats Dogs and other favourites win:
Friday night Hawthorn v Bulldogs (MCG)
Saturday Geelong v North Melbourne (MCG)
Saturday night Adelaide v St Kilda (AAMI)
Sunday Collingwood v Sydney (MCG)
