The stage is set for an electrifying weekend of AFL finals action as the competition heats up for the Grand Final. The AFL has announced the fixtures for week three of the 2024 Toyota AFL Finals Series, with two blockbuster preliminary finals set to decide who will battle for the premiership.
On Friday night, the Sydney Swans will host the Port Adelaide Power at the SCG, kicking off at 7.40pm AEST. This high-stakes clash promises to be a fiery encounter as both teams strive for a place in the Grand Final.
Following the Sydney-Port Adelaide matchup, Geelong will take on Brisbane at the MCG on Saturday evening in a twilight clash at 5.15pm AEST. The earlier start time in Melbourne gives the Lions a strategic advantage, allowing them to fly home on Saturday night if victorious, giving them more time to prepare for the Grand Final.
Tickets for both preliminary finals will go on sale on Monday, with further information being released on Sunday.
The AFL’s decision to schedule these crucial games over two days creates a weekend of intense anticipation for fans. The excitement builds as the competition narrows, and the stakes grow higher with each game.
