Grand final glory is within reach for one team, and here’s how you can watch every game during the Finals Series live.
We’re now heading into the Australian Football League’s semi-finals, with the Geelong Cats set to face the GWS Giants, and the Brisbane Lions coming up against the Western Bulldogs. After winning their respective games in last weekend’s qualifiers, the Melbourne Demons and Port Adelaide are already through to the preliminary final, and are one step closer to grand final day, with a well earned rest this weekend. The Giants and the Cats will go head-to-head in Perth on Friday, September 3, after GWS narrowly defeated their cross-city rivals the Sydney Swans by one point last weekend. Geelong has a tough slog ahead, as the team has lost three of its past four games. GWS looks much stronger, though they’ll be without star forward Toby Greene for the remainder of the season. Greene was handed a three-match suspension after intentionally making contact with the umpire during the Giants game against the Swans. So while the Cats had a shocker against Port Adelaide last weekend – losing 86-43 – the Giants losing Greene may be just what Geelong needs to make it through. On Saturday, September 4, the Lions will play the Bulldogs at the Gabba in Queensland. Brisbane will be the only team fortunate enough to play on its home ground this weekend, as the ongoing Covid lockdown for Sydney and Melbourne has forced games to move to Queensland and Western Australia.
