The AFL has delayed the start of Friday night’s clash between Richmond and Brisbane because of heavy traffic.
The round 18 match has been moved from the MCG to Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast due to Victoria’s latest COVID-19 lockdown.
It was scheduled to start at 7.50pm AEST, but has been pushed back to 8.05pm with Richmond arriving at the ground later than planned.
The Tigers, who flew from Melbourne to Brisbane on Thursday night, have been caught in a traffic after multiple accidents on a major southeast Queensland motorway.
The Lions left Brisbane earlier and got to Metricon Stadium with plenty of time to spare.
Richmond are fighting to keep their finals hopes alive in Jack Riewoldt’s 300th game, while the Lions are attempting to consolidate their spot in the top-four after a shock defeat to St Kilda last week.
