Both games are scheduled for Friday night at North Hobart Oval and KGV respectively because of the North Melbourne v Sydney AFL match at Bellerive Oval on Saturday. Neither game will influence finals spots and even if the Tigers were to cause the upset of the season and defeat the premiership favourites on their home ground they still finish with the wooden spoon.

The top five teams are already decided for the beginning of the finals campaign the following week.

Burnie will host North Launceston at West Park in the qualifying final while Lauderdale will play Devonport at Bellerive Oval in the elimination final.

Glenorchy will have the first week of finals off..North Launceston, Burnie, Devonport, Clarence and Launceston have final round byes.
