The second AFL preliminary final will be played on Saturday afternoon as the Collingwood Magpies take on the GWS Giants at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the match online, or watching it on TV.
The first bounce in the contest has been set for 4:35pm (AEST) on Saturday, September 21.
Following last night’s first preliminary final, it’s now known that the winner of this match will advance to the grand final for a showdown with the Richmond Tigers, and there are storylines developing both ways.
Should Collingwood get the job done, it’ll set up a showdown as one of the AFL’s biggest rivalries, while GWS would be qualifying for their first decider if they are able to get the win in this second preliminary final.
GWS are here after upsetting the Brisbane Lions on the road in last week’s semi-final, while Collingwood are fresh from a week off, having gotten the better of the Geelong Cats in the opening week of finals action.
This preliminary final between the Magpies and Giants will be broadcast on two channels around Australia, giving AFL fans options.
