Any word on game 5 date? surely it needs to be announced ASAP to allow people to do pre arrangement where required.
AFL Starts next Thursday, I would say maybe a mid week Wednesday night Game...
Anyone heard anything?

Last year games 3, 4 and 5 were during the AFL season
They should do it properly on the Friday or Sat. Not mid week to avoid afl
Of course I'm hoping game 5 won't be necessary!

Especially since I already have commitments on both fri 22 and Sat 23
It would feel quite rude sitting at a wedding reception watching the game on my phone!
Cant see either home team losing this week so Game 5 is a GO!!!

I'm guessing at this stage it'll be midday Perth time on the 23rd, which will mean I can't go. Be nice if they'd announce it so I know.

From Olgun's twitter:
"Scheduling Game 5 on March 24 ensures adequate rest for both teams before the deciding game of the series. Sunday afternoon is also a key timeslot for broadcast and will maximise audiences across Australia as well as attendance at RAC Arena in Perth.” - NBL CEO, @JeremyLoeliger.

"Timing probably won't be popular with St Kilda fans ..."
Thats the least of St Kildas problems...
I think 16 days for 5 games seems pretty reasonable.
FTA with Channel 9 was a mistake this schedule has been shocking for Melbourne and Perth. a night game in Melbourne would have been cool but Game 5 being 3pm Melbourne and midday Perth is ridiculous

This St Kilda fan isn't too worried-
Watching United play a Game 5 is infinitely more interesting than watching my footy team in what will possibly become the wooden spoon battle of 2019!
"so nearly 3 then"
Why not round up to a month then?
