AFL preliminary finals set for Friday and Saturday with times confirmed

Sydney meets Fremantle Friday at 7:40pm at the SCG; Brisbane plays Hawthorn Saturday at 5:15pm at the MCG.

The AFL has locked in next weekend's preliminary finals. Sydney and Fremantle battle for a Grand Final spot at the SCG on Friday night at 7:40pm AEST.

The next day, Brisbane travels to the MCG to face Hawthorn from 5:15pm AEST. The earlier Saturday start helps the Lions, giving them a chance to fly home Saturday night rather than Sunday if they win, meaning better preparation for the Grand Final.

Tickets for both matches go on sale Monday from 10am AEST, with competing club members getting first access.
