We're 9 days from buying tickets to this one - both clubs playing on Saturday (us arvo, Dawks night) so a Saturday night or Sunday appear likely. Wouldn't mind a Friday night either given the times both clubs are playing.

Geelong and North (and of course Adelaide) also all playing on Saturday in round 22. Even Sydney (should they sneak into 4th) play next Saturday.

It will all depend on who finishes where. If Sydney & Adelaide finish 7th & 8th then all 4 games will be played in Melbourne, bringing Telstra Dome into the equation.

Can't see a game with 2 Victorian teams being played at Telstra Dome, nor Collingwood, so that might have to be St. Kilda v Sydney/Adelaide if that eventuates. If so, expect it to be Sat night.

Geelong, finishing 1st will get the benefit of at least a 7 day break, so they would probably play Sat or Sun, with Collingwood playing either Sun or Sat.

I therefore think we'll play on the Friday night.

Could be 100% wrong, who knows.

Gotta wait for the ladder positions first I suppose. Try the ladder predictor.

I had the 8 finishing:

1. Geelong
2. Hawthorn
3. Western Bulldogs
4. North Melbourne
5. Collingwood
6. St. Kilda
7. Sydney
8. Adelaide

If it's a really good friend I'm sure they'll understand. Ask Sockeye Salmon how to act in these situations, he's the expert, even missed his own party!

I heard the commentators after the hawks/wce game on fox mention that we are likely to play the Friday night...

What kind of piss poor 21st finishes before 3am?

Go to the footy and turn up at the 21st just as it gets going.

Exactly, you have 2 alternatives here alexxx:

1. Go to the footy, we win, go to the party happy and excited and drink as much free piss as you can.

2. Go to the footy, we lose, your pissed off so you go to the party to drown your sorrows and drink as much free piss as you can.

Thanks for the pointers guys...i'll be doing one of those suggestions Mantis..

If it was a normal melbourne game i'd think about missing...but this is FINALS and we are in TOP 4..wow..we dont see this often..what am i thinking, sayinhg i might miss this?

Bring it on...i have not been to a doggies final (unfortunately missed 06 vs collingwood)...

Be it win or lose i will be getting trashed after the game :D
