Good to see that after relocating to Qld we are playing our next two games in Adelaide.

Looks convoluted but hopefully it’s a masterstroke that sees us running rings around the AFL....
 
If they move the GF it has to be Perth imo, 60k stadium, surrounding entertainment areas would easily hold huge crowds too, a time zone which would allow an afternoon GF broadcast to the eastern states in the evening, best of both worlds! assuming we're still COVID free by then.

What's the average temp in Perth in November? Mid to High 20s? Might have to be a twilight local and night time in to Melbourne.

It would have never been Carlton and Bulldogs, we'd already played each other, some journa getting half and half information. Carlton and Hawhtorn is much more logical.

Bulldogs to Perth info came from Fremantle .The club ceo believed that to be true this morning.Ever-changing plans at AFL hq.
 
So Travis Auld has confirmed that from Rd 9 we’ll have non traditional fixtures. I think there’s a good chance “Rd 9” starts on Tuesday 28th July right after Rd 8 ends with Gold Coast v GWS and Wednesday with Richmond v WB.

They’ll need to start condensing the fixture straight away to fit in the 4 games in 3 weeks to get to Rd 12 before the VIC teams return home
 
Can anyone tell me if the Saints will he expected to fly back to Noosa in between the two Adelaide games or can they spend the 5 days in SA?

Can't seem to find it anywhere
The SA-QLD border is open from July 20th and they’ll have served their 14 day quarantine already so they should be fine to stay in Adelaide if they choose to.

Yep, I just thought their government were against clubs staying in SA.

It wouldn't make a lot of sense to fixture two games that close in SA if they planned on making them fly in for both though.

Gold Coast are gonna go from "only ever played on a Saturday or Sunday" to playing on every day of the week by the end of the season at this rate.
