'Fremantle will play at Blundstone Arena for the first time with the AFL moving the Club’s round 23 clash against St Kilda to the Hobart Venue.'

Venue confirmed for round 23

As long as it isn't windy, good. I ****ing hate games in Tassie where the wind basically means it is a different sport. An actual Tassie team would have the best homeground advantage in the league if they came in because of it.

It has got to be better than playing the Saints at home although I have a feeling their record there this year isn't great.

I reckon our ‘away’ shorts should have a map of Tassie on the front of em , showing support for an AFL team down there.

Don’t know the specifics on the Victorian lockdown. Surely if Melbourne is in lockdown so is Geelong. Geelong is as much part of Melbourne as Mandurah is part of Perth. People commute from Geelong to Melbourne for work on Melbourne public transport FFS.

Anyway I’m pretty sure if we set foot at Melbourne Airport we’re quarantining when we get back. I’d say that’s the logic in terms of the game potentially being played in Tasmania. Although words like like logic and common sense really don’t belong in the same sentence as the AFL so who knows.

Geelong is regional, no lockdown for us, although restrictions apply, like mask wearing outdoors. People catch Vline trains to Melbourne, which isn’t on the metro system. Most people are working from home.

17 degrees and showers forecast for later in the day in Hobart on Sunday

7 days of quarantine before they're allowed to play in WA's probably the reason - Saints may have had hope this wouldn't be a dead rubber for them and thus playing a home game at our home ground would be a huge disadvantage for them, and left too tight a window to sort it all out?

Is that the case though? Other clubs seem to have played without the 7 days of quarantine havent they?

don't think so, all our recent opponents have done it. e.g. the reason WCE v Melbourne was a monday night game was due to the chaos of the week before, Melbourne got into the state 2 days later than expected forcing the change to monday night from saturday night.

In: Brayshaw, Cox
Out: Blakely/Bewley, Watson

If Cox is not ready then Hughes


I'm wondering if there is anyone ready for Meek but highly unlikely

The game is on a Sunday. similar forecast. 7-16 with 20-30K north-west winds. It is always windier at the ground and so, will be a normal scrappy Tassie match. But it has been far worst. probably be worth only a couple of goals to one side of the ground, give or take

Good thing this wasn't last week. We had gusts of over 100K, 20mm of rain which then turned into snow above 600m.

good to see Tassies 3rd tenant club is back for your 14th game down here, the most of any club bar the ones we pay/paid. Good luck on the weekend.

It makes a lot of sense given the geographic closeness of Fremantle and Tasmania. Some absolute 'geniuses' in AFL House.

I for one am excited
