NAB Cup round 2: Tigers vs Pies
« on: February 05, 2009, 01:58:44 AM »
We'll be having back-to-back trips to Perth if the Eagles beat Collingwood and we also win  ::)

-----------------------------------------------
A similar accommodation has been agreed to should Victory host the A-League grand final a week later, on February 28. The AFL has a round-two match of its pre-season competition, to be played between the winners of Collingwood and West Coast and Fremantle and Richmond, scheduled for the venue on the same day.

An AFL spokesman said yesterday if either or both of the Western Australian teams win through to the second round the match will be transferred to Subiaco Oval.

Should the game be between Collingwood and Richmond, who could be putting Ben Cousins in a Tigers jumper for the first time, it will be transferred to another Victorian venue.

The Victory takes on Adelaide this Saturday at Hindmarsh Stadium in the first of a two-legged semi-final that will decide which team hosts the grand final.

Melbourne won the 2006-07 A-League grand final at Telstra Dome before a capacity crowd of 55,000.

Seems like the only other possible suitable "Victorian" venue as Princes Park isn't an option

Would be bearable seeing we wouldn't have to put up with the Geelong ferals down there

If we beat Freo then we could be playing Collingwood at Princes Park even though it's a construction site  :-\

Well that makes sense in the AFL scheme of things as Cwood haven't played at Geelong since 1999.
Why make 'em play there now. ::)

Tigers, Pies could play on a Thursday (Age)

Tigers, Pies could play on a Thursday
February 13, 2009

IF RICHMOND wins this week against Fremantle, its second-round NAB Cup match with Collingwood will probably have to be played on a Thursday night in order to find an available venue.

Melbourne Victory is likely to host the A-League grand final at Telstra Dome and the MCG is unavailable for football until late March due to the strong possibility that Victoria will also host the Sheffield Shield final.

With that soccer grand final staged on Saturday, February 28, and with a NAB Cup match already slated for the Friday night beforehand the AFL is short of a suitable venue.

The Age understands the match will be scheduled on Thursday, February 26.

Because the prelim for whoever wins out of us and COllingwood (assuming we win) is slated for the next Friday which means we would only have a 5 day break.

A Thursday game wouldn't be so bad . . .

If we lose against the Dockers then we will be playing in Canberra on Saturday 28th Feb at 4.00pm against either Carlton or North Melb....

I just read that in the pre-season footy record :thumbsup
