THE winner of this week’s blockbuster semi-final between Collingwood and GWS will receive only a six day break before taking on the Tigers in a preliminary final.
For the Magpies, that would cap off a horror finals schedule, with the club already handed a seven-day break on the back of a trip to Perth.
Hawthorn, who finished one spot lower than the Magpies, will enjoy an eight day break before taking on Melbourne on Friday.
