Looking for live sport in Da Nang this week? This one is stacked.
The AFL Semi-Finals are sudden death, the NRL Finals begin with four matches across the weekend, the NFL season kicks off, Formula 1 heads to Madrid, and we finish Sunday night with the Manchester Derby.
And yes — we're opening early for the NFL. ☕🏈
🔥 𝐀𝐅𝐋 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐒 — 𝐍𝐎 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐓𝐘 𝐍𝐄𝐓
The AFL is down to the pointy end now.
𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 — 𝟓:𝟏𝟎𝐏𝐌🟣 Fremantle v Geelong — Semi-Final
Fremantle's loss to Hawthorn means the minor premiers have gone from a shot at a week off to win-or-go-home footy.
Geelong stayed alive by knocking Carlton out, and now the Cats head west with nothing to lose.
Winner → Preliminary Final Loser → season over
And because apparently the footy gods enjoy chaos...
🏉 4:50PM — Rabbitohs v Knights starts just 20 minutes earlier.
Friday afternoon is basically AFL on one side, NRL on the other, cold beer in the middle. 🍺
𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐘 — 𝟒:𝟑𝟓𝐏𝐌🦁 Brisbane Lions v Adelaide Crows — Semi-Final
Sydney sent Brisbane the long way around, so the Lions are suddenly in sudden-death territory.
Adelaide earned another life by getting past the Bulldogs, and now it's the Gabba with a Preliminary Final spot on the line.
Again:
Win and keep dreaming. Lose and start planning Mad Monday.
💥 𝐍𝐑𝐋 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐒 — 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 𝐎𝐍𝐄
Four finals. Two elimination games. Plenty of reasons for Queensland and NSW accents to get louder as the weekend goes on.
𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 — 𝟒:𝟓𝟎𝐏𝐌🐇 Rabbitohs v Knights — Elimination Final
Somebody is done by Friday night.
𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐘 — 𝟏:𝟎𝟓𝐏𝐌⚔️ Warriors v Dolphins — Qualifying Final
Second against third, with the winner putting themselves in a very nice position for the run home.
𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐘 — 𝟒:𝟓𝟎𝐏𝐌🦈 Sharks v Cowboys — Elimination Final
This one starts just 15 minutes after Brisbane v Adelaide.
So Saturday afternoon gives us:
1:05PM NRL➡️ 4:35PM AFL➡️ 4:50PM NRL
If you're an Australian sports fan in Da Nang, this is not a weekend to make dinner plans somewhere without TVs.

This week also kicks off something new at Scallywags.
Every Monday morning during the NFL season, we're getting the NFL crowd in Da Nang together for Sunday Night Football.
No watching alone. No explaining to your wife why you're yelling at a laptop at 7AM. Just football, breakfast, coffee and people who understand why third-and-seven matters.
