INTERSTATE TRIP: HOW CAT FANS CAN GET TO ADELAIDE

If the Tigers win through to their first Grand Final since 1982 they will have one day less to prepare, but will have the advantage of playing every final at the MCG.

The Saturday preliminary final is likely to be staged as a twilight game to allow Richmond’s opponent to fly home that day.
