AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan has announced significant changes to Round 11 of the season.
Speaking to the media on Thursday afternoon, McLachlan revealed the Gold Coast Suns’ clash with the Hawthorn Hawks, originally scheduled to be played in Darwin, has been moved to the SCG. It will still be played on Saturday night at 7:40pm (AEST).
The Richmond Tigers’ clash with the Adelaide Crows has also been moved from the MCG to GIANTS Stadium in Sydney, though their match has been pushed back an hour, and will begin at 2:10pm (AEST).
“We have nine games ahead in the match-ups we were planning on doing,” McLachlan said.
The only other change to the round as previously scheduled is for Port Adelaide’s match against Fremantle on Sunday, which has been moved back to a 5:20pm (AEST) start to allow umpires to travel from Western Australia.
This means the top-of-the-table clash between the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne will remain on Friday night at Marvel Stadium, despite a Demons player visiting a COVID-19 hotspot before attending training; provided all Dees players test negative to the virus. However, the Marvel Stadium roof will be open for the first time this season, to comply with the Victorian government’s protocols.
