1st ELIMINATION FINAL
Southport Social club have over 50,000 members but it looks like most are interested in the pokies more than their footy team.
A half decent crowd at Victoria Park as would be expected for a Collingwood V Carlton match!
Yeah they must have to be a member to access the pokies rather than being a season ticket holder - not too many bothered to make the trek up to Moreton Bay - do Southport play all their home games there?
In reply to Yeah they must have to be a by Wally from Wil…
Southport play at their facility - Fankhauser Reserve I would hope unless they play Gold Coast that they play it at Metricon Stadium
Should be at fankhauer reserve being their home ground. Both Southport and Casey have advanced to the preliminary final and have every right to host preliminary finals.
So that was Brisbane's home game as they finished higher on the ladder? Will be interesting to see what sort of crowd Southport draw if they play the prelim at their home ground
Both semi finals will be interstate next week. Interesting that 4 of the 6 remaining teams are ex neafl teams.
Will they be televised by Channel 7 or just live streaming?
I'd be surprised if they did.
On the BHH v GCS commentary last night they said that was the last livestream of the year. You'd imagine it will be the same as every other year with two games per weekend in finals on TV.

Both games on Ch 7 as per Robbo's post on VFL Semi Finals
